Tatooine sucked. It was hot and dry, and what little water actually existed in the atmosphere was being monopolized by moisture farmers, who didn't even earn a decent amount of money sucking all the water supply up. The buildings were mostly sandstone, and shoddily constructed at that. It was like the complete inverse of his home planet of Naboo. Gatz was not very fond of this desert ball, but work had brought him here. It had been a simple job: the delivery of a dozen stolen astromech units, fresh off the factory floor.
R4-A1 had been jealous: the aged astromech was worried that Gatz was going to replace him with a newer BB unit. But Gatz was a consummate professional, and he delivered exactly what was asked. He didn't steal a cut off the top.
With a job well done, the young smuggler found himself within the cool atmosphere of a cantina in Mos Espa. He sat at a corner booth, feet kicked up on the table, as he sipped from his juma juice. His red leather jacket had been discarded, folded neatly on the table while he cooled down. For once, Gatz didn't have another job lined up, and could take a moment to relax. Maybe even daydream about a certain Echani cat burglar who now lived in his head rent free.
Inevitably, though, he'd find himself caught up in the affairs of the galaxy's criminal underworld. Such was the way of things.
