The Cantina

Page history last edited by Anonymous 1 yr ago

 

Located in the heart of the Old Quarter, the Cantina is just across the dusty street from the Dowager Queen wreckage. It was one of the first structures built in Mos Eisley, originally intended as a shelter and armory to protect against Tusken Raiders attacks. When the attacks never materialized, the blockhouse was converted into a bar, and the cantina has changed hands many times.

 

The bar has passed hands seceral times throughout the years, it currently belongs to a man named Garrett Argonon, commonly known by the nickname Buzz, who bought the building from the long-time proprieter, a wookie named Chalmun. Buzz is well-known and well-liked. An out of dimension mechanic, and investor in local enterprises, he uses the Cantina as a base for several illicit projects, smuggling being chief amoung them. While there are no gaming tables in the Cantina, there are always at least half-a-dozen games of chance being played around the main room at any given time, and Buzz is involved in at least half of them.

 

The central bar is a high-tech, if outdated, set-up capable of synthesizing virtually any known drink in the sector, as well as many from around the galaxy. The bar also keeps on hand a stock of real drinks which ranges weekly from 100 to 600 different types/brands. Having a dim view of import laws, speciality drinks of the high end (and often illegal) kind are also avalable if the buyer knows who to talk to and can produce the necessary cred. The mixing computer knows 16,000 recipes, and of course, Buzz keeps all the required ingredients in stock, even if it means hiring a ship to risk life and limb to get it over a border secretly.

 

While the central bar has been basically unchanged since before Chalmun owned the establishment, the building itself has undergone massive rennovation since it's purchase by Argonon. The general atmosphere remains as a clean, if somewhat dimly lit and mildly seedy atmosphere throughout done in a style that would have been popular during the days of the old republic. While appearing old, new additions include multi-spectrum security monitoring, full spectrum jamming devices, and hidden, automated sentry guns. Despite all the added survielance, the Cantina is still the most criminal friendly place in the city where they can conduct business and get a drink without too much worry. Buzz keeps a strict code of confidentiality for his fellow well to do criminals. Private rooms are avalable upon request.

 

The bar has open doors, and generally, anyone can get a drink even if they're at odds with the owner. There are a few groups, however, that have never been welcome at the cantina, they are as follows: Slave traders, Pimps, Murderers, Child Molesters, Rapists and like. They fall under the Three strike policy: Strike 1-Civil ejection from the premises. Strike 2-Forceful ejection from the premeses. Strike 3-Execution. It is worth noting that all three strikes can be used up in a single instance.

 

Fights are also frowned upon. Since the bar is offered as a service to the public at large, one of the few rules stipulates that any physical fighting not immediately taken outside becomes the business of everyone else in the bar, more specifically, it becomes the business of Buzz, who tends to end fights quickly by whatever means he wants. He has killed numerous patrons who severely affected the safety of the other customers, and has wounded countless others. Since the bar and the land it is on is registered as private property, all the necessary paperwork and lisences that permit him to perform these executions are on file with the city and planetary governing bodies (however ineffective and small they may be). Likewise, Buzz has bought several small, custom ordered A.S.A.R.D.(Automated Self-Actualizing Repair Droid) machines from a twisted genius, which serve to automatically repair even the most gaping of the bar's battle scars.

 

Also worth noting is that Little Enterprises entered into a partnership with Argonon earlier in the '05 cycle, they maintain a small base of operations in the restricted access, lower levels of the cantina. In addition to recieving a percentage of the profits, they provide crowd control when necessary, as well as maintaining the security systems of the bar.

 

 

Too drunk as it is? Think that the cantina is a waste of your drinking time? Don't have anything else to do? The Cantina also offers free entertainment to anyone who may enter its doors. The main show consists of the singing styles of Orin Sesru, along with the backup of the cantina band. Though the stage and band are small, Orin's performances are top notch. Come for the drinks, stay for the show!

 

In recent years, the cantina has been bought by a shadowy consortium which regulated Buzz to a silent partner. He is rarely seen in the cantina itself anymore, though bar remains much unchanged from his reformations. The the three-strike ejection rules seems to have been done away with, and fights are far more lax due to the new Mark III A.S.A.R.D. droids.
