Outlander Club
Basic Information -
Homeworld: Coruscant
While the upper levels of Coruscant form the arena of choice for diplomats, politicians and business leaders from throughout the galaxy, the lower entertainment districts are just as diverse a sampling of aliens with ambitious agendas.
Once a place of polish and class, this particular gambling club on Coruscant has since become tarnished and somewhat dilapidated. The constant haze and multihued lights in its spacious interior help distract from its faded edges. Its clientele has become seedier, and malcontents have appeared with increasing regularity. People come to this club for a variety of reasons. Some to seek out companionship, whether permanent or temporary; others look to sell or buy wares both legal and illicit. Still others look to make a fortune by betting on the numerous games of chance. Aside from gambling tables, this club boasts large holographic projections of such sports as Podracing, nuna-ball, and odupiendo races.
Behind a well stocked bar is Bufon Taire, a no-nonsense human with dark skin, a scarred visage, and a milky-white eye. If his concoctions aren't strong enough, those looking for chemical distraction can flag down seedy drug peddlers like Elan Sleazebaggano. After failing to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala, bounty hunter Zam Wesell fled the scene and eventually ended up in this club to hide. Two Jedi were in pursuit -- Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. The overzealous Zam tried to add a Jedi to her list of kills by shooting him in the back with her short-range blaster, but Kenobi swung around and chopped off her gun-arm with his lightsaber. The sudden act of violence drew the attention of the entire club, but Anakin calmed the crowd by explaining the dismemberment away as official "Jedi business."
The Outlander Club, found on Vos Gesal Street in the Uscru District, next to the Snapping Septoid, is a popular hangout for a wide cross-section of Coruscant glitterati. Its clientele is mostly humanoid, since pan-species clubbing usually requires uncommon resolve and determination. Case in point, one being's preferred potable may be toxic to another, so similar biology helps keep down the number of accidental poisonings. As an extra measure, bartender Bufon Taire cautiously waters down his drinks -- the fact that it saves him money doesn't hurt, either. His well-stocked bar at the center of the club features color-coded mixes, and such diverse ingredients as Aludium pu-36 and the popular "starshine special" additive.
