Coruscant,UnderbellyUnderscantThe Vice capital of the civilized galaxy. The Hutts might level claims that their glorious Nar Shadda is the true heart of crime in the galaxy, but everyone knows a hutt always lies. True vice. High risk, high reward vice happens in Coruscant. Because there is too much power upstairs. Too many people who know people in the right places. Too many wealthy and monied families, clans. In the darkness of lower Coruscant lies a vast planetwide cityscape few have can believe. You can lose it all in the Helter Sector. The den of all gambling on Coruscant. Or you can pay your way to heaven in Sector 88, once ruled by the famous Red Lady Brothel and her mysterious owner. Choose your vice, they have it all.But the real beauty that sets Coruscant apart from any pleasure planet like Zeltros is that here, all vice is illegal. Wouldnt reflect well on the moral character of lawmakers and leaders of the Republic to be caught engaging in such activities anyway. But boy do Senators love to gamble. And men in power are usually the one most fragile and vulnerable to such...impulses.So the criminal macabre stays down in the shadows. In Underscant. Ruled over by ganglords controlling their turf. And no one asks too many questions.The galaxy spins another turn.But things are changing. Even down here things are changing. Old legends die, new ones arise in their place. The air here reeks of fear. These days even the most vicious of killers keeps an eye on their back. A new gang is rising. Whispers snake about everywhere of their terror. Their absolute crushing power. And their cold merciless nature. They have already taken down three of the strongest lords of the realm. An unprecedented event.Yet, No one has even seen their faces. Some say, they are but five in number.
