Entryway
The door of the mansion opens to a staircase that leads up the to living quarters for Aster, her bodyguard, and her guests.

Upstairs
Aster's Room
ಠ_ಠ Image Unavailable. A woman's private quarters is her sanctum sanctorum!
Information unavailable but apparently it's a pretty nice room equipped with an ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe.
The Bodyguard's Room
Located next to Aster's, the room is a place for the on-duty member of the Wolfsglaive, her protective detail to stay the night as a result. This is reflected in the lack of personal items left behind in the room. Occasionally someone may forget a pack or cigarettes or some other small item in the room but that is the extent of items left inside the room.
Guest Rooms
Almost completely identical in design, the guest rooms are simply furnished with a king size bed, vanity, a floor length mirror, and a couple of chairs. In addition to the furnishings, each room is also equipped with in-built wardrobe.
Upstairs Bathroom
Illuminated by a small chandelier and multiple lights, the upstairs bathroom is a beautiful room with a spa bath, floor length mirror, and two wash basins; a normal one, and one with an inbuilt vanity where a one can perform their twice a day skincare regime and apply makeup while sitting in a chair.
Downstairs
Drawing Room
A cozy room, heated by a warm fireplace where Aster would occasionally roast marshmallows, the drawing room can be accessed through the hallway beneath the staircase at the entryway. Elegantly decorated, the room is illuminated by many lights with a desk and chairs in one-half of the room and comfortable sofas on the other, surrounding the fireplace.
Media Room
Located near to the drawing room the media room is completely soundproof, the room is furnished with a comfortable sofa with a small table to hold beverages in the back and several comfortable recliner chairs in the front. Above the seating is the projector that can be operated remotely via an app on a DataPad to project movies onto the black wall at the front of the room.
Library
Situated near the media room, the library is accessible from the second floor via a spiral staircase. Brightly lit, the bookshelves were custom made to fit comfortably within the room's curved walls with a small table and comfortable chair at its center.
Dining Room
Finally, at the end of the hallway is the dining room where meals are served and small dinner parties are held. Elegantly decorated, the room features a beautiful glass dinner table that seats six with matching chairs and a vase holding silk flowers in the center.
The wall opposite the entrance to the room is a door that leads into the second half of the building where the kitchen, laundry, and the servants' quarters.
Kitchen and Laundry
Down the hallway, after the dining room is the kitchen and laundry, opposite each other. The kitchen is state of the art with everything a chef could ever need to prepare even the most complex of dishes while the laundry room simply held a washer and dryer with laundry being done several times a week or daily when hosting guests.
Servants' Quarters
At the end of the hallway after the dining room are the servants' quarters with a servant only entrance. Higher ranking servants (such as the butler, chef, handmaiden, and housekeeper) while the lower level servants share two rooms, one for the male and the other for the female.
Miscellaneous
Snow Garden
Behind the mansion is the Snow Garden. A garden only in name, it is filled with delicate ice sculptures made to mimic the shapes of foreign plants with several glass benches and transparent lights installed in the ground forming a path from the Snow Garden to the hangar and landing pad. At night, when these lights are on, the Snow Garden can almost be described as an ethereal sight.
Hangar and Landing Pad
Behind the Snow Garden are the mansion's hangar and landing pad both of which are rather modest in size. The landing pad is only big enough to hold a couple of small ships snugly and inside the hangar were a ship and several airspeeders.
History:
Nahe'ar or Snowflake in Cheunh was commissioned by a Chiss nobleman as a wedding gift to his youngest daughter, lovingly nicknamed Nahe'ar who found love with a commoner, hoping to provide the newlyweds with a nice home to raise their young family. Grateful for her father's generous gift, the couple moved into to Nahe'ar as soon as they were able to.
Though the couple loved Nahe'ar, their funds dwindled as their family grew, forcing the pair to reluctantly move out of the property they had spent the early years of their marriage and watched their two children grow from infants to toddlers in. The pair would not return to this house until their retirement and remained there until their subsequent deaths, leaving the property to their youngest.
With a flourishing career in a field that required her to travel extensively, the property was left vacant and eventually abandoned when the One Sith gained control of Csilla and fell into the hands of a Sith. Fond of the property, the Sith invested much of his money on restoring the building that had been left to erode.
Previously owned by a Sith, the mansion was seized by the Iron Empire upon the successful liberation of Csilla from the One Sith's tyranny after the execution of its owner. However, the property was not left empty for long as the Full Metal Emperor allowed his orphaned niece to take up residence in the modest mansion.
Intent: To create a home for Aster on Csilla where she can host guests.
