The Tower is a dark monolith that dwarfs the rest of the Ascendant Fleet. This space station is an acquisition obtained by Clan Plagueis after a slave uprising unseated its previous owner. Though not as large as the Death Star, this obelisk-shaped station is a monument of galactic design.

Its many floors house hundreds of cells, with a gladitorial ring on the bottom floor and a penthouse at the top. A hangar is located in an outer ring that circles the station.

The cells are arranged around the outside of the obelisk, allowing entry from the outside as well as a view of the center pit down to the ring below.

The penthouse is quite luxurious and contains space for greeting guests as well as the sleeping quarters.

The hangar bay contains smaller ships utilized in bringing in slaves for the games which still occur from time to time.

Though Clan Plagueis uses the games for entertainment, it is also a way for Subjects to prove themselves worthy of citizenship. If a Subject conquers each floor of the Tower and reaches the top, they are given citizenship and a night in the penthouse to celebrate their victory. Many have attempted this, none have succeeded thus far.

On the plant of Kiast, on the Summit of the Or’ena Mountains sits a small shop for the Jedi studying at the Praxeum. This glass front is lined with pink and white and peering through you can see colours of many hues from ceiling lights highlighting the products contained within. Just inside the door is a small cardboard cutout of a well-known green skinned Jedi smiling up at prospective customers. Above the creature is a white speech bubble that says, “Come in you must, hmm?”

The shelves are full of interesting novelty items including Lightsabre shaped water bottles, Jedi holocron night lights, transparent Jedi robes, joke remotes that fire far too quickly for even the most skilled jedi to defend against, and of course the famous Sith in Carbonite series of action figures.

A prominent display near the cash register in the back of the store contains replica Lightsabers of the delicious candy variety. Each transparent Lightsabre has a different colour denoting its flavour with a depiction of a famous Jedi enjoying the sweet treat on the outer wrapper. Upon closer examination, the products are running a promotion of collector cards for your chance to win an evening with the Consul of Clan Odan-Urr.

The Snakepit Cantina

A locale known for its exotic and/or esoteric ingredients in the offered fare, utilizing galactic folklore or proven results by science. Curry with a sauce made from the secreted adrenal glands of a Corellian Sand Panther to beat a previous run time or amount of repetitions in weight lifting. An aphrodisiac for Mandalorians made from the pulverized, still-beating heart of a vine snake in a glass of tihaar? A tasty and popular treat, if one can get past the gore factor. Another drink uses diluted tree sap in a Coruscanti Ale for its mild hallucinogenic properties.

Not everyone is an adventurous eater or partaker of these exotic tinctures, so there are more common fare for those looking to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the Snakepit Cantina. Char-grilled Porg with a citrusy salad? A delectable sampler of various seafoods found throughout the known galaxy in several preparation methods with a fruit puree to cleanse the palate between pieces? Or perhaps a nice Bantha steak, marinated in a blend of spices, ground caf beans and its own blood before being grilled to perfection?

If not for the cuisine, the Snakepit Cantina has a soothing quality in its serpentine motif, aquatic displays and live music.

Located in one of the floating cities of Essadan on Kiast, the Bad Time Spa is known for its terrible reviews on the holonet and absolutely awful customer service. While locals avoid the spa like the plague and a tourist would never have heard of the spa let alone step foot in the place, it is a complete mystery as to how it has somehow stayed in business as long as it has. The real reason the Bad Time Spa exists is as a facade to hide its true intention. Hidden beneath the spa’s street facing storefront is a retreat for Sith and Dark Side Force users to bathe in the power of the Dark Side and escape the filthy feeling of the Light Side that can be felt all across the planet of Kiast.

Using a combination of alchemy and the Force, the retreat below Bad Time Spa is hidden from the Jedi of Odan-Urr, offering a place for respite for visiting members of the Brotherhood who follow the path of the Dark Side of the Force. Admittance into the true version of the spa is extremely exclusive, a password, which changes every 24 standard hours, must be provided to enter. If a member of the general public does happen to wander into the establishment and refuses to be turned away, they will be subjected to the treatment that has led to the spa’s infamous reputation.
