The Devil to Pay
Mayagil Sector
Outer Rim
There were larger casinos in the galaxy. Richer, fancier-
Hell, easier to GET TO.
But Durani's Rest had something the others didn't. Well, two things really.
First, it was away from planetary influences. No local law enforcement to show up and make a fuss and everything more difficult than it had to be. Sure there was private security, but that didn't have the same oomph. Not these anyway.
But second?
A readily accessible clear exit and way to zip right off into hyperspace once they were done. No atmosphere to go through, no running through the streets. Just in, hit hard, and out with all of the cashy-monies one could shove in their grubby pockets.
Sabetha deeply disliked hitting places that involved a lot of transit between point a and point b. If she couldn't bring her ship in directly, honestly kark the whole thing. Even better when it was a place like this that expected a lot of traffic in and out, and the freighter the pirate used would go unnoticed.
Just like with the raid of the Tython Pearl and the attack at Prakith, Sabetha reached out to her underworld contacts to round out the crew she'd bring with her. Oh, she knew about the bounty newly placed on her head- she was a little amused it had taken them so long to figure out who had orchestrated those two hits. But she wasn't duly fussed. They'd have to know where she was going and by the time someone heard about it? They'd be long gone.
She wasn't counting on someone tipping off a hunter they knew. She certainly wasn't counting on that hunter being a big-mouth.
And she absolutely wasn't counting on it becoming common knowledge exactly where she and her crew were going to be that day.

The group of pirates blended in fairly well if she did say so herself. They looked more like mercenaries, which weren't that rare on Durani's Rest. They had managed to land in the docking bay closest to the Casino and when they swaggered in, it just looked like a group with money to burn after a particularly good mission or three. With the amount of upheaval in the core, there were a lot of groups just like them all around.
"You wanna do your thing and get the party started?" Sabetha leaned over and murmured with a smirk to Hira. "Give 'em a scare and then I'll get 'em organized."
