DESCRIPTION

The Transgalactic is a series of luxury hotels built on populated worlds such as Coruscant and Denon. They are also especially prolific at sector shadowports such as Nar Shadda and Ryloth. It is said the rules of a transgalactic are usually obeyed. Getting into one requires a certain level of respect as well as elusive marker coins, while crossing the rules always involves an especially heavy bounty. Because of the nature of these establishments, many rich underworld figures go there seeking some kind of safety, or neutral ground to speak, and while their markers are good they can stay in comfort. Planetary governments turn a blind eye because crimes are not committed here, and officials are well paid to forget these hotels exist.

The hotels vary place to place, but are usually comfortable, and luxurious but not to the point of opulence. There is almost always a small bar and dining area for the patrons as well as open but private booths for a meeting area. Most nights there will be light entertainment for those resting there. As well as secured bunker access and multiple escape routes in most hotels. You won't see regular security here, because every guard they need is a paid assassin sitting in a seat. Never knowing who is watching you is the point, and why people don't break hotel rules without expecting some kind of heavy, lethal, and continued response.

Interested patrons can find outfitters to suit a variety of social or dinner engagements at the hotel, and it is said that as well as silver markers, gold favor chits are exchanged, but that is a rumor we can not confirm or deny.

RATIONALE

Narran Ando owns these hotels because Darkwire, the Family, the Triads, and certain Hutt Consortium parties decide that he does. Enough of the underworld respect the hotels and so business is done here. All Narran does is make sure the rules are enforced, and payment is taken or given when necessary. He came to own them throughout his life growing up working in hotels and learning who was who in the criminal underworld at the same time. That and his ability to spot illegal currency or markers, makes him the perfect man to ensure all tender is authentic when received.
