Just up from the beach were walkways, lines of palm trees, and large buildings. Niamos was a destination for tourists due to the nice accommodations and beach access. During the Galactic Empire's occupation, there was a large courthouse where sentences were delivered out to dissidents.[1]
Niamos became a hotbed for felons who needed to avoid attention and authorities. However, it was later occupied by the Galactic Empire, which brought new laws to the world.[3]
Following his actions during the mission on Aldhani, Cassian Jeron Andor visited the planet. While traveling to a store on Niamos, Andor was mistakenly apprehended by patrolling shoretroopers and KX-series security droids, after which he was falsely charged with civil disruption, anti-Imperial speech, and fleeing the scene of anti-Imperial activity, which resulted in him receiving a prison sentence of six years[1] on Narkina 5.[4] Eventually Andor escaped from the prison, along with his former inmate Ruescott Melshi, and returned to Niamos to recover his belongings, and bid farewell to Melshi.
