The Black Spire, a petrified tree situated in Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu, held significant importance. Serving as the heart of the outpost, it stood in close proximity to both Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities and Savi's Workshop. Furthermore, this spire lent its name to the outpost itself, functioning in ancient times as a communal hub where locals would share narratives. Because of the live tree sprouting from its core, the spire symbolized both hope and renewal.
The name "Black Spire" first appeared on trading cards sold at Disney's "Galactic Nights" event on December 16, 2017. These cards showcased locations within the then-upcoming Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge attraction. It was featured on a card alongside Docking Bay 7. While the map card displaying the Black Spire lacked an Aurebesh phrase, other map cards – specifically those linked to the cantina, Smuggler's Alley, ancient ruins, and Saka Homestead – hinted at the landmark through their individual Aurebesh phrases.
