Spacers' Hill

Spacers' Hill is a fictional location featured in the Star Wars franchise. It was introduced as part of the Star Wars "Expanded Universe" in the pages of Star Wars, Volume 1 #7 published by Marvel Comics. Spacers' Hill is considered an "s-canon" location as its existence predates any consistent effort to maintain continuity within the Star Wars Universe.

History
Spacers' Hill was a burial mound located on the planet Aduba-3 in the Aduba star system. As it's name implies, the cemetery was used as a resting place for spacers who had died while operating on the planet. The residents of Aduba-3 were very proud and protective of their dead and they maintained strict prohibitions against certain types of people who could be buried there; in particular, cyborgs.

In 0 ABY, a Verpine priest attempted to bury a deceased cyborg on Spacers' Hill and earned the wrath of the local populace. Rebel Alliance heroes Han Solo and Chewbacca, having stopped on Aduba-3 on their way towards Hutt Space, became involved in the skirmish and acted on behalf of the priest. Once they gained control of the situation, they agreed to help the Verpine bury the cyborg at Spacers' Hill. As it was, the priest's Bantha, which had been carrying the funerary travois had died, so Chewbacca carried the dead man's coffin up towards the hill where he was given a proper burial.
