The nights were cold and unforgiving on most planets but the Smuggler's Moon proved to be even more so than most. As events transpired, Astra found herself having to stay on the moon for longer than previously anticipated, though with every fibre of her being she would rather be anywhere else. The civilisation here, or rather lack of, did not tend to be keen on Jedi and so she did all she could to conceal that part of her identity, so she hoped to be relatively safe from being a target of petty crime since she didn't exactly radiate wealth or high social status.
Astra paid for a room for a night and though it wasn't particularly expensive, you definitely got what you paid for. The balcony was a nice touch but didn't take away from the fact that the carpet was stained with various fluids and there seemed to be a family of insects taking residence in at least one corner of the room. She felt a pang of sadness at the thought of people living in a place like this, lost and hopeless while those on the core planets were granted a more sophisticated way of life. The situation on Nar Shaddaa was disturbing at best and yet many of the more privileged would never lay eyes upon it and those that did would be inclined to ignore it, it almost made Astra wish the Jedi would get involved in politics once again, perhaps when they could gain more traction in the galaxy.
Eventually, she settled down enough to manage a bit of shut eye so she stripped down to a vest and shorts and climbed into the bed which looked like it had seen better days, leaving the lightsaber hilt on the floor by the side of the bed before drifting off to sleep. It was a rather odd hour to be sleeping at for those more accustomed to the planet but most of the light at street level was artificial anyway and travelling between planets took its toll on your sleeping schedule and besides, she needed to be awake most of the night anyway to achieve what she had come here to do.
