King's Tap Cantina, Byblos
Open to Jedi, Rangers, and allies.Stepping into the cantina, filled to capacity with members of the Byblos Defense Fleet, Jedi, Sector Rangers, and a bunch of other folks who had helped repel the Sith, you would have to be blind and deaf to think of it as anything other than a celebration. When the Sith had showed up almost everyone he knew had expected things to end in disaster. The Sith declaration on the Holonet had still been fresh in everyone's memory, and there was no doubt in their minds that they did not have the strength to resist the Sith. That's when they had showed up, Jedi and Rangers. Their arrival had turned the battle on its head, given them a fighting chance and then lead them to victory. Byblos was safe because of them, and while the higher ups might do what higher ups did and make proclamations of thanks and gratitude, the soldiers and pilots who had been up in the air had their own way to give thanks.
Word had been sent out to every Jedi and Ranger on the planet, both those who had fought and those who had showed up in the aftermath to help out. Many a Jedi had arrived to help treat the injured and more Rangers had showed up to beef up the planetary forces in case of another strike by the Sith. Almost all were gathered here today, drinking, chatting, celebrating their victory.
Jace smiled a bittersweet smile as he watched his friends enjoying themselves. This would be his last day as one of them, he had spent the last few days talking to a bunch of Jedi and he was due to fly out the next day to begin his training. Grabbing a beer from a passing server, he rushed into the fray and downed the drink in one long swig.
"To victory!!"
Cheers rang out across the cantina, and more drinks were brought out, one pushed into his hands to replace the one he had just downed. The party had begun.
