OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
SETTING INFORMATION
  • Structure Name: Utapau Alchemy Castle
  • Classification: Homestead/workshop
  • Location: Fourth Moon of Utapau
  • Affiliation: Janick Beauchamp
  • Accessibility: Since the Fourth Moon of Utapau is sparsely populated, the moon is still wild; nevertheless, it is located in the outskirts of the only town of the Fourth Moon
  • Security: Due to the sparseness of the population on the Fourth Moon of Utapau, only a standard alarm system has been installed, with no additional security
Description: In contrast to Utapau proper, where the settlements are located underground, the Fourth Moon of Utapau is home to forested areas on the low-gravity surface, away from the otherwise common crevasses and canyons, with the half-acre yard ending where the native forests begin. The capital (and only significant settlement) of the Fourth Moon houses an entire neighborhood of luxury homes, called New Barkhesh, where upscale homes known in the realty circles of the galaxy as starter castles dot half-acre plots line up all the way. In this context, it is not surprising that some of the upper class in the Utapau system and beyond chose to live in the New Barkhesh neighborhood, with most of the residents that originated from off-system being former Barkhesh residents. Featuring well over 700 square meters of livable space, the homestead is built in a fashion typical of Barkhesh château architecture.

POINTS OF INTEREST

The Fourth Moon of Utapau being sparsely populated, it allows peace and quiet for any resident wishing to live in the lap of luxury. On the right, from the main entrance, is a hangar large enough to house a X-Wing-sized ship and is used as such by Janick, with an elevator similar to those used on carriers to haul spare parts inside the hangar turret. With that said, the basement is home to an alchemy laboratory with the equipment to clean up and sterilize venipuncture equipment for the requisite demands of blood. Otherwise, it contains all the amenities one would come to expect of a home of that size: two bathrooms and a half, five bedrooms (four of which are used for additional equipment storage and the master bedroom being hers), a kitchen, a dining room and, of course, a living room, with the central tower on ground floor housing the storefront.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Built by a Barkhesh-based developer, the mansion is part of a real estate development that sought to cater to the upper-middle classes of the Outer Rim that wanted to live in peace and quiet, complete with architectural landscaping, while still doing so in an affordable manner, and therefore make such a luxury item within range of more people than before. As with Barkhesh, the low cost of the materials and the minimalistic bureaucracy on the Fourth Moon of Utapau enabled the developers to get an entire neighborhood built on the Fourth Moon of Utapau for a fraction of the cost it would have on other planets in that corner of the Outer Rim, even when accounting for the use of local materials. Janick bought the homestead after a client gave her a hefty tip for her services, rumored to come from a dark-sided casino high roller, from which she got enough cash to buy a new craft as well as the homestead and its furnishings, with the remaining cash used for seed money for her workshop, Utai Magic Circle, and get the requisite supplies started.

OK, first pass:

- More detail in the image citation, please.

- 'Structure Name' is blank.

- 'This whole thing happened because tons of civilians saw a targeted surprise invasion coming' is unrealistic and totally unnecessary. I'd say find another rationale/backstory, please.

[member="Ashin Karrde"] Perhaps a backstory more similar to how these real-world "McMansion" subdivisions are built would work here... nevertheless I expanded a little bit on the image caption.

Looks good, but I don't think the image source edit went through. Please use the Codex standard image sourcing format if possible
