JVT Cantina

"Good day sir, welcome to the JVT Cantina. I am Med, what beverage may I serve you?"

About the JVT Cantina

Jan Vincent Torm bought the run down cantina ten years ago with money made from his smuggling.  With money from legal and not so legal businesses ventures Torm renovated the Cantina.  Located in the city centre of the spaceport of Duran this is far from the wretched hives of backwater worlds.  Torm prefers to encourage families and is always quick to quash any trouble, which is pretty easy if Odd-Job is behind the bar.

The JVT Cantina is often used for quick meetings for Rebel operatives and smugglers.  The cellar area is used for storing stock and also has a small kitch for preparing cantina meals.  The Cantina is a four story building, though only the ground level is open to the public.  The First Floor is Odd-Jobs accommodation along with several offices.  The Third Floor is another storage area, with the Forth Floor being Torms private suite.

Cantina Location:  Durroon

Durroon is an agricultural colony world on the edge of the Corporate Sector, though not actually owned by any corporations.  The world has a modest turnover of foodstuffs and does generate some trade with the Empire and Corporate Sector with the closest world being Etti IV.  Durroon has lush valleys, and it's capital city and major spaceport is Duran, located on the east coast.

Shaldon Shadowport

Only five miles from Duran City Spaceport is the small Shadowport of Shaldon.  A winding concealed country road gives road access.  Shaldon is nothing more than a small beach area where smugglers can load and unload their cargo's.  A beachside roadway houses a few stalls and refreshment stands.  No more than two starships are ever landed at Shaldon Shadowport.  As the smugglers are not breaking any local laws they escape the attention of law enforcement officers. 

Imperial Industries

The Empire has minimal presence on Durroon and does not even have a local governor.  The Empire does have a small energy processing plant on the planet.  The facility, operating under Imperial Industries Corporation, provides energy cells for Imperial civilian bases in the Mid Rim along the Hydian Way hyper-route.

Adventure Hook:  Imperial Industries makes an easy target for the Rebel Alliance.  Rebel operatives break into the Imperial Industries facility at night to steal a cargo load of Energy Cells.  They must then get the cargo back to their ship docked at the Shaldon Shadowport.  Complications arise when it turns out that the facility has recently turned it's processors to producing energy cells for military purposes, weapons etc.  The Imperial Industries facility is guarded by a Company of Stormtroopers.

The Beggars Drift

Cantina Location: North Mos Eisely, Tatooine

The Beggars Drift is owned by the Queen of Gar Tetris Bloodaxe, although due to her affiliation with the Rebel Alliance this is a guarded secret.  Located in northern Mos Eisely the Beggars Drift is in a small suburban district.  Nevertheless it still attracts it's share of undesireables an low lifes.  Despite it's location away from the trouble districts of the infamous spaceport the Beggars Drift has probably been rebuilt more times than any other building in Mos Eisley.  Grenades, thermal detonators and tanks driving through the wall are but a few of the mishaps the cantina has suffered.

Entering the cantinas you walk though a small lobby area leading to a bar area.  The cantina is dimly lit, but is clean and fitted with air conditioners to keep the atmosphere cool.  severeal steps down from the bar area is a larger dance floor surrounded by more tables.  Live music is rare in the Beggars Drift but recordings are piped through one of the best sound systems on Tatooine.  

There are always a minimum of two bouncers on guard at the Beggars Drift and they try to discourage patrons from carrying heavy weapons into the bar.  Should Taurus, Tetris's close ally, be there then heavy weapons ARE discouraged.  Few patrons argue with the nine foot tall demonic looking Taurus, and those that do end up wishing they hadn't. 

Regulars

Tetris Bloodaxe and Taurus

The Queen of Gar owns the Beggars Drift and if is she is there then so is her close friend Taurus.  Tetris always watches people with suspicion and prefers to let her staff get on with the day to day running of the bar.  Should anyone have a problem Tetris is always ready to let her sword settle any dispute.  Failing that, there is always Taurus.  There is a 15% chance of meeting Tetris and Taurus at the Beggars Drift.  Tetris would make a good contact for the Rebel Alliance.

"And there's a 50% chance that Taurus will have a plank of wood stuck to his horns, but I don't suggest telling him!"

Kanbu

The dreaded Klatoonian pirate Kanbu has recently started drinking in the Beggars Drift.  Kanbu considers his time in the Beggars Drift to be his personal time.  Woe be tired anyone that would disrupt Kanbu.  He is a dangerous bloodthirsty individual who has the backing of Jabba the Hutt,

The Sithslayers Arms

Cantina Location: Irongraad Keep, Gar, Beyond the Blood Drift

This dubiously named Tavern is in tower in a corner of Irongraad Keep.  Irongraad Keep is located between the kingdoms of Darkhammer and Lexgar on the remote planet of Gar.  The fortification is a constant home to over 500 soldiers as well as travelers, mostly traveling from the East towards the Kingdom of Lexgar.  If the Empire do know of this tavern, and it's odd name, is not known.  There have certainly not been any attempts to have it's name changed.  The tavern took it's name many centuries ago.  It is believed that the Sith once lived on Gar.  The legend goes that a might Warrior fought the Sith and the tavern was named in their honour.  This is mere speculation, but the name stands.  The Tavern itself is a dark dank place, with the tavern taking up three levels of the north-east tower.  The bar is located on the ground level near the small, and it is small, doorway.  Tables are made from old wood.  In the winter months a fire burns in the great hearth.  Drinks are very limited.  It's Gar Strongarm Cider or Dark Gar Brew, a local ale, or nothing.  The water really is not recommended. The regulars of the Sithslayers Arms tend to be local soldiers in the employ of Baron Irongraad, who is himself in the service of King Dargrim Lexgar.  A unscrupulous traders peddle their wares from table to table, and the fair, and not-so-fair, maidens also ply their trade.  Morals are low and women and alcohol are free flowing in the Sithslayers Arms.
