In 230 BBY Barazza was in danger of being hit by the crashing lower half of Starlight Beacon. Because of this impeding danger many of its inhabitants chose to flee the city which caused huge traffic jams and several crashes.
Even though the city narrowly avoided obliteration by the efforts of Jedi Master Stellan Gios, it had not escaped the station's crash unscathed. Despite the energy shielding Barazza posessed, massive waves that were caused by Starlight's fall flooded buildings on the shoreline and left the streets littered with debris and other scattered objects. Even though a major part of Barraza's population managed to get to safety before the waves struck, some of those who could not or did not want to escape perished.
