Nearly twenty years after the formation of the Galactic Empire, the Outer Rim remains one of the few places in the known Galaxy offering some degree of freedom from the yoke of Imperial control. This relative freedom has attracted all manner of scoundrels, criminals, and fugitives to the various planets comprising the Outer Rim. While the Empire is largely unrepresented, the region does not lack in those exercising oppressive control. From Hutt crime lords to spice syndicates, most areas of the Outer Rim fall under the sphere of influence of someone with the power to back up their claim. In the shadows of these criminal enterprises, the resourceful and crafty eke out a desperate existence. While life isn't great, it's better than the alternative.
[0.1 ABY] The crew of the Second-hand Sarlacc had made a stop-over at the spaceport of Ah'Kra on the planet Coyn in the Elrood Sector of the Outer Rim. The crew recently completed a job on behalf of their employer, Rumko Wun, and had stopped off to re-fuel and re-supply before returning to Raxus Prime, their base of operations. The ship's cargo hold was about half full of salvaged parts from a pirate base further up the Elrood-Derilyn Run that was recently decommissioned with extreme prejudice by Imperial forces. The planet was of divided loyalties between the Galactic Empire and the Rebellion with the city of Ah'Kra remaining neutral; a fortunate thing for the crew's wookie pilot, Krallaten, considering the Empire's view of his species.
Seeking out a little R&R, the crew had stopped for refreshment at the Kessel Cantina, a spacer bar attached to the spaceport proper. The cantina was relatively crowded, with a myriad of races patronizing the place. A variety of screens and holoprojectors presented news and information from a variety of news sources, including the Imperial-controlled HoloNet and the Alliance-sponsored HoloNet Free Republic. While not in a direct debate, it was interesting to see the dueling commentary about the destruction of Alderaan, with each side pinning the disaster on the other. The din of numerous languages being spoken simultaneously created a chaotic auditory backdrop to the bar. As the crew looked over the menu, a blue-skinned female Twi'lek approached the table holding a round tray.
"What's your pleasure?" she asked, holding a datapad and focusing her attention on Mack.
