Life in the city of Nar Tyria on the moon of Nar Shaada is often raw and violent starting and ending in the gutter...that’s just the way it is.<br/><br/>Nar Tyria is a dangerous, decadent and sordid place. The crime rate is at an all time high and drugs like Kessel<em>Spice</em>and Zeltronian<em>xtreme</em>flood the streets washing away people’s morals and creating an almost insatiable hunger.  Track-marked, armed, and red-scabbed nosed junkies lurk shivering in the<div class="floatleft">(http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb457/Parlyguy/Elliquiy%20-%20Star%20Wars/star-wars-city-copy-cmp.jpg)</div>low-ways and byways of the city waiting for a victim with a fat credstick.  Public spaces are often awash with blackened, used<em>deathsticks</em>and bloodied stim-patches along with the detritus of a near soulless humanity.<br/><br/>Crumbling apartment blocks ridden with mould and cockroaches, their skeletal outlines stark against the rubble of those already demolished.  Stripped down landspeeders are propped up on blocks stranded in alleyways and abandoned parking garages with wild, raw-faced kids searching for wires or anything else that can be sold for a few credits.  Boarded up storefronts scarred with graffiti abound and rough-faced wino’s huddle around oil drum fires slugging liquid poison from chipped and dirty bottles.  Strung-out prostitutes with garish make-up work the sidewalks, while desperados and losers crawl through the meat-market trying to strike a bargain.  The senses are assaulted by seedy neon-lighted strip clubs and porno theatres, inhabited by<em>spice</em>-smacked weirdoes jerking off over the seats, while smoke filled backrooms offer hope and salvation on the turn of a Sabaac card.<br/><br/>Nar Tyria is both vibrant with the hedonistic, self-indulgent criminal cartels masquerading as aristocracy, and anarchistic with the new explosion in the underground clubs since the fall of the Republic with<em>Crusher 495</em>and<em>Underworld 66</em>being the most famous hosting intergalactic bands like<em>Nine Foot Tusk</em>and<em>Plasticrete Dreams</em>.   Rawer music is also emerging from the streets, with artists like<em>Dark Angel </em>and<em>The Total Eclipse </em>scratching out a living with pirated holodisks full of angry, gritty rhymes dissing the nascent Empire and the criminals who seem to rule the Outer Rim (often confused as being one and the same), and raising themselves up as underworld fabulous superstars.<br/><br/>Gangsters rule the streets, like the infamous Rugga Jurgatha from Klatooine, who as a Hutt soldier killed, with his crazed crew of Rodian mercenaries up to 200 beings, many at the notorious Coruscani Gem Lounge, which became known as the “Horror Hotel”.   Most were dismembered and given to the mutated Rhakghouls prowling through the city sewers or distributed across the nearby Fondor City refuse dump.  Eventually when the Boss of Nar Tyria, Hutt Crimelord Darga decided Rugga had to go, not even the ruthless Bobba Fett wanted the contract.<br/><br/>Rugga does business with another fearsome band of killers from the West Side of Nar Tyria, otherwise known as the Barrens, called the<em>Black Blades</em>, run by the sociopathic Trandoshan Brishkah.  Brishkah’s thugs are a wild bunch of heavy drinking and Kessel<em>spice</em>-snorting Trandoshan hoodlums that shoot people as good as looking at them. They kidnap people face to face across the city and hold them for ransom knowing that nobody in the neighborhood will go to the authorities.<br/><div class="floatright">(http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb457/Parlyguy/Elliquiy%20-%20Star%20Wars/imagesCAQ7NPET.jpg)</div><br/>In the nearby Stath District, legendary gangster Quaad ‘Bumpy’ Hannser has retired and his Lieutenants, the Bothan dream team of Tav and Rurra Nay’ala continue to shift hundreds of kilos of Kessel<em>spice</em>and highly addictive<em>Better Than Life Chips</em>.  Hannser use to work through the human dominated<em>Red Shadows</em>gang but the Dream Team seek to cut the Corellians out of the picture altogether to maximize profits.   Tav has established contacts within the Deep Core worlds, cutting deals with the well-healed of the Empress Teta system to import<em>BTLs</em>in dirt-cheap bulk buys.   Tav and Rurra live like a king and queen, with their chamberlain, the Kel Dorian known only as<em>‘Mr. Untouchable’ </em>being the face of the organisation now.<br/><br/>Against this backdrop of violence, drugs and above all money, life is short, brutal and often hopeless; where morality is often a distant second to the creed of "Greed is Queen".   The crew of the<em>Bacchante</em>head into this vipers' nest well-schooled in its ways...<br/>
