Sawa Ike
- Accessibility: Located in the deserts of Tython, Pandamonia is somewhat isolated but known among local phrik miners and passing travelers. The upper public cantina is open to all, with entry gated by weapon scanners. The lower private levels are strictly off-limits, accessible only to authorised personnel and protected by sealed bulkheads and internal security measures.
- Description: An ancient temple long buried by the desert sands, partially excavated and restored into a desert cantina. The public upper level functions as a bar and entertainment venue for miners, bounty hunters, and wanderers, while the deeper, reinforced lower levels house private offices, storage, and a secure command centre. The entire structure is monitored by an extensive internal security grid, and the staff are more than they appear.
- The Main Barroom: The public heart of Pandamonia. Patrons are scanned for weapons upon entry. Inside, privacy screens allow discrete conversations, while a ceiling-mounted beam weapon and surveillance cameras monitor the room. Bouncers cover the bar, stage, and floor.
- Private Upper Rooms & Storage: Guest quarters and general storage directly above the public area, comfortably appointed but standard.
- Lower-Level Offices & Vaults: Deeper into the temple, these chambers are built with reinforced stone and metal walls, seismic-resistant design, and doors that can seal individually. A closed environmental system purifies the air. Corridors are lined with security beams and cameras for maximum coverage.
- Sawa's Office: A spacious, opulent room panelled in black and white marble. Contains its own integrated security beam for dealing with threats directly. Bouncers patrol the corridor outside at all times.
- Security Control Room: A central hub manned by a dedicated team monitoring dozens of screens covering every public and private area.
- Security Rating: Maximum (relative to a civilian entertainment venue)
- Security Assets:
- Entry weapon scanners and privacy screens.
- Ceiling-mounted automated beam weapon covering the main barroom.
- Comprehensive camera network monitored from the security office.
- Trained bouncer staff.
- Reinforced, sealable doors in the private lower levels.
- Corridor security beam grids (motion/laser tripwires) with linked alarms.
- Hidden Systems (Unknown to Public): Retractable wall-mounted laser turrets and combat droids concealed in the walls of public and private areas, programmed to neutralise rule‑breakers.
- Staff Assets: The primary staff are Anzati, Energy vampires and Garhoon capable of mental manipulation to de-escalate situations and discreetly deal with persistent violators.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The temple that would become Pandamonia stood forgotten for centuries, its stones swallowed by the Tython desert. Sawa Ike acquired the site and financed the careful excavation and restoration of its upper levels, opening a cantina to serve the moon's phrik miners. On the surface, Pandamonia is a rugged, well-appointed bar offering fine spirits, live entertainment, and a bounty board for the hunter community an oasis of indulgence on a harsh mining world.
Behind the scenes, the cantina serves a far deeper purpose. Unknown to the regular clientele, Sawa Ike operates the establishment as a hidden sanctuary and neutral ground, her status as a Shaper respected by some contacts. The public and private spaces are laced with hidden automated weaponry and combat droids that can emerge from the walls to enforce an iron rule: no bloodshed on the premises. The Anzati staff, themselves predators, use mental influence to keep the peace and ensure that those who violate the sanctuary's laws or who simply possess something Sawa prefers never leave.
Sawa remains a silent partner, rarely seen in public, conducting her affairs from the marble‑clad office deep within the temple while Pandamonia's true nature remains buried, just like the sands that once hid it. The years of it have seen the moving of the building. They were abel to adjust and in slices bring sections of the lower temple along with the upper part and discreetly reassemble it. Giving Sawa a better location far from prying eyes and people while luring in force sensitives.
