Cantonica. Outside of the planet's popular destination capital, the Outer Rim world was considered unremarkable in comparison. Encompassed by a virtual barren wasteland, Canto Bight was obliged to shine bright, and shine bright it did. Situated on the coast of the largest artificial ocean in the galaxy, the capital was a favorite with species from every walk of life. Gamblers, tourists, dignitaries, smugglers, and racketeers. The city was a proverbial melting pot of species and economic classes, from wealthy entrepreneurs to two-bit swindlers looking to make a credit or two.
With a reputation that preceded itself, the desert metropolis had something to offer everyone that chose to walk its crowded streets. The businessman desperately in need of relaxation need only check in to the Coruscant Hotel, where he could watch the ebb and flow of the sea from the comfort of his balcony and listen to the waves roll peacefully onto the shores beneath. Tourists with deep pockets weren't forced to search high and low for excitement. Entertainment was quite literally on every corner, from exotic food to traveling shows and racetracks.
Canto Bight could make you or break you, if you let it, depending on your choices and your luck. Cities like this, large and thriving, tended to swallow people whole. People—important people—could go entirely unnoticed.
For the Senator of Onderon, this wasn't really a problem. The Zeltron was a long way from Onderon and the Free Worlds and didn't run the risk of being recognized this far out in the Outer Rim Territories. His political companion for the night's excursion, however, did run that risk. Emryc Thorne wasn't just any politician. His face was plastered on energy drink cans and billboards, after all.
The high-class establishments and luxurious entertainment of Canto Bight might have drawn the 'respectable' crowd, but tonight the two politicians would enjoy the company of the city's less than reputable citizens. They were bound for the city's lower levels, dark and secluded. Somewhere where the President of the ISC was less likely to be recognized.
Or maybe he'd come in disguise, with some over the top getup that included fake mustache and glasses. Cassian would have to wait and see. He glanced at his wrist chrono and waited.
