Club opening as a cover for slave auction?

Date: 220907
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Dune Sea

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

The "The Sands Oasis", a cantina and club, opened last night for the public. Sporting 2 VIP rooms and a stage for entertainment as well as a bar, the club is run by the Viper Sands Corporation. In the advertising, "all night entertainment, an Auction, Free drinks! and more" was mentioned - and as was to be expected, the event drew in people from the whole Outer Rim. How many were there for the free drinks, and how many for othe reasons is not known.

What started as a normal cantina/club opening event, however, took a more sinister turn when the "auction" advertised was revealed to be a slave auction. Soon after the start, the stage was used to sell sentients like cattle, courtesy of a trandoshan slaver clan and Jabba the Hutt. Apparently, next to twi'leks of both genders, humans were being sold too, but reports differ there, with some of the audience leaving the club.

While some of the more sophisticated readers, especially those from the Core Worlds, may be appalled at this, even Tatooine residents, long used to such displays, may be concerned, since where there are a lot of slave sales, there's a lot of demand for new slaves - which are often procured in shady or outright criminal ways. Dancers and entertainers best be on their guard on Tatooine.
