Nar Shaddaa.
A more odious, opportunistic and overflowing place would be hard to find in the Galaxy. Nar Shaddaa, or the Smugglers Moon, was a den of foul deeds and fouler beings. Yet there was always opportunity to be had, for those willing to take the risks. The broadcast of The Great Hunt had brought beings of all walks to the Moon, from Cartel to bounty hunter and everything in between. People came to sell secrets, make pacts and break bread with those who would help them. A million credits was no small sum, even split multiple ways. The coming months would bring more and more people to the sprawling city, this was only the beginning.
It was in one of the many hundreds of sprawling Cantina's in which Victor Tanner sat, nursing his drink as he had the broadcast on repeat, the flickering and stained screen not doing Gulla the Hutt any favours on the looks front. Though no one was really looking at the vast slug, they just heard his voice on repeat in their heads.
"A million credits." Whispered Victor, more to himself than anyone else. The Cantina, Kla'hoon, was less busy than the others. Partly due to the awful service, partly due to the fact it was frequented by Cartel members. It never paid to get on the bad side of one of the Cartel, so unless folks had business or were looking to make friends they generally went to one of the more welcoming bars in the sprawling district.
Spinning around on the stool, Victor leaned himself back to prop his elbows on the counter. His faux Bantha-hide jacket fell open, his blaster sitting neatly in it's holster under his arm. With a narrowed eye and raised brow, he scanned the denizens of the establishment. He, like everyone in the galaxy, wanted his shot at a million credits, but was wise enough to realise he couldn't do it alone. With his ship being unloaded for the night, he decided to wash away the travel with a drink and relaxation.
Wouldn't hurt to make a few friends, though. "A million credits." He whispered once more.
