Criminal Legacy
Seasoned warfighters wearing scraps of Imperial Stormtrooper armor held their ground against Gamorrean axemen wearing Hutt Cartel livery. Mandalorian verd rocketed past one another in aerial jousts as a monstrous looking alien picked up a competitor and threw him against the ground with a thud - to the thunderous cheers of spectators.
Credits of all types and ages were strewn about the gambling tables as bookies, bet takers, stakeholders, gamblers, and merchants shouted above one another in increasingly zealous ways. Among it all was A'ti, a familiar face and name among the criminal underground but one that had not surfaced since the bloody dissolution of the Hutt Space Consortium.
Invitations had gone out on public broadcast, brazenly inviting all interested competitors to test themselves in the recently constructed arena of Hoth. Since the conclusion of the Second Great Hyperspace War and the subsquent chaos that ensued in the riveting conclusions of the saga of war, order in much of the Galaxy had been thrown to the wayside. Never before had the Galaxy been so liberated of multistellar conglomerates, federations, confederacies, and empires. The frontiers had returned and with it the societies, vices, and activities that had been suppressed by these superpowers.
A'ti stood from her elevated seat, credit chits and ingots slid from her lap and arm rests as she did so "What's this? Our Arena grows empty!" the Twi'lek lifted her hands in an inviting manner to the crowd of onlookers and potential competitors as several small droids zipped around her feet and collected the currency "Who will fill it? Step forward! Share in the wealth and glory!" as she spoke a small droid hovered before her, acting as a microphone which caused her voice to boom across the stands and arena "Fight until you can fight no more or until none are left before you! Every third credit cast in your name shall be yours!" her expression became sly and challenging "Should you make it."
The Twi'lek lowered her arms and motioned dramatically to a large display above the arena as the center of the grounds separated and revealed a rising platform full of new contestants "New talent, new wagers, have entered the Arena!" she pointed at one of the contestants and declared "Ten thousand credits on my new champions!" with such a bold claim made by the organizer, the betting tables were inundated with new wagers. Complete chaos reigned in the audience as several brawls continued within the arena.
The arena had, for now, become the single largest combat sporting event in the Outer Rim. And perhaps the largest gambling site outside of Nar Shaddaa.
OOC Note: Anyone who wishes can declare their Character to be A'tis champion. The rules remain the same regardless: Fight until you drop or until only you remain. Wagers are made along the lines of how long a competitor remains standing/how many compeititors they've downed. Non-combatant type characters are more than welcome to join A'ti or any other character in the audience.
