Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina

[Dav Man'Sell]

*Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina was a single-story building was first constructed by Cedo Partu, an early pioneer and Mos Eisley town leader, as a fortification against Tusken Raiders. Changing ownership over the years, the building saw use as an armory, a brewery, and a flophouse for vagrants. Before the inception of the cantina, the site was occupied by B'omarr Monks and the Vriichon Brothers, who before the purchase by Chalmun, were running an illegal spice den on the site and burying bodies in the basement.

Identified only by a sign over the door reading simply "Cantina," the cantina is a popular gathering place for spacers, smugglers, and the center of a host of criminal activity in the spaceport of Mos Eisley, Tatooine. Run by the Wookiee Chalmun, who purchased the cantina from gambling profits earned on Ord Mantell, the cantina is one of the busiest and most popular on all of Tatooine.*

"What do you mean I look like a nerf-herder?"

=Ehdak=
"Lurd lurdo, yub neek den. Meechoo na... goo yub jad klektuhkuh."

"Bah."



"What would you know, hmm?" "You wear the same thing every day. You come from a tree village where most of the clothes don't even have proper fastenings, let alone hemming, or tailoring, or... or... style."

=Ehdak=
"Yub yub zehg dangar, lurdo-ji? Yuhyi kush yesh?"

"Oh, you always want to fight to see who's right." "Believe it or not, fighting doesn't solve everything."

"Den yekyit ka yigit geht. Ooga oooh chubba chubba den ka yigit geht."

"Oh, come on. You're like, a meter tall. Of course you're the little guy."



=Ehdak=
"Kush toto ees toto moktok ji?"

"We sit here. Quiet and inconspicuous. Just a couple of guys, hanging, drinking, fitting in. We observe the bar, suss out who are the spacers, who can be trusted, and then when we work out who's who, we approach one and barter ourselves some passage."

=Ehdak=
"Cor-ees ooyeb jiji? Ta gleeg shetai, danthee?"

"No, no. No, if we ask, they'll know we're not from around here. We'll get a better deal if they think we're experienced local types."

=Ehdak=
"Heeyti ta lurd nek yeek."

"Ye - Hey!" "I do not look like a nerf-herder."



=Spacer=
"You lookin' for passage?"



"Ah... yeah. Yeah. Passage to the mid-rim."

=Spacer=
"Thought so. You don't look like the type what comes in here regularly. Betcha your stayin' a' th' Dowager Ka-ween."



"Not sure what you mean."

=Spacer=
"Eh, you don't look right fo' in here. Too sof' lookin. An, ah mean, what's tha' outfit meant to be, some kind of space nerf-herder?"



"How much for passage to Iridonia?"



=Spacer=
"Where on Iridonia d'ya wanna go?"

Now we're getting somewhere.

"Main spaceport'll do for me."
