SECURITY
Medium
Security in the place is consisted of former thugs that Carter recruited during his outing and guards that were originally were there before Carter bought the gambling den. There a three armed guards armed with IB-94 blaster, and 5 unarmed guards who are given stun batons, consisted of 1 Dowutin, 2 humans and 2 Besalisk. 1 Armed guard and 1 unarmed human are placed at the storefront, while the rest are located downstairs. Even though the den guards are not full equipped, they also rely on the customer if they were to be attacked, since most of the customer are armed (Bounty hunters, smugglers, soldier, and ect). To get to the backroom, you need to be let in through the doors by the guards standing by inside, to check if everything are in order before you are let into the backroom. The secret passage can only be open through a keypad that only the guards and Carter knows, which is located at the entrance below where the den is, so the guards upstairs coordinate with the ones downstairs to open the passage.

The Ruby's Den has been operational for almost a decade now, it was previously owned and run by an old female Mirialan named Acie. It hosted Sabacc and Pazaak game on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday night, as they invited players from different background and those with a lot of credits. Carter was one of it's prominent player, as he's been playing there for 4 years when he was invited during his Coruscant Security days. After some jobs and gambling that earned quite a lot of credits, as he then used it to buy The Ruby's Den after Acie been talking about retiring.
Carter made a quite a sum of credits to Acie which she has no reason to refuse, and knowing it will be in safe hands with Carter as a top gambler. Once the place ownership was transferred to him, he began remodeling The Ruby's Den. He fixed up the office and move his Private Detective business there, so it would be easier to maintain the den and it has better location. Carter also added a bar on the right side of the area and added more security to the den.
