The Starlight Grill was an upscale dining establishment whose clientele consisted almost exclusively of high-level government employees, given that it was buried deep within the Republic Senate complex on Coruscant.
Despite its moniker, the Starlight Grill did not show any actual starlight of course, due to its near-subterranean location. What it showed, instead, was a recording of the starscape above Coruscant taken by a satellite and projected by the holopanels that made up the Grill's walls and ceiling. The effect was as if the occupants were dining and drinking under a vast starlit canopy, rather than under several thousand tons of bureaucracy and offices.
The restaurant was roughly circular in shape, with the bar occupying the center of the space and several private alcoves ringing the edge. These alcoves all held a booth and table, and had controls to change the holographic projection within that particular alcove.
It was within one of these private dining areas that Korembeck, Senator of Kashyyyk, sat alone - for now. Two of his personal guards stood just outside of his 'den,' and around him was the holographic view of his native planet. The limbs of the giant wroshyr trees blew gently in the non-existent breeze, and when he closed his eyes he could almost smell the familiar smells of home. The smells that actually assaulted his nostrils were the much-less-romantic aromas of over-worked, sweaty government workers and expensive booze.
His eyes snapped open, and he focused his mind on the task at hand. Any moment now he should be joined by his dinner-guest for the evening; Mr. Teodor Costa, head of Costa Industries and a man whom Korembeck had a business proposition for...
