The Lucky Despot in Mos Eisley, usually a safer and more quiet place than Chalmun's, is having a bad week. Apart from the recent display of violence by slavers and the constant reports of blasterfire coming from a backroom there also was a more destructive incident two days ago.

As far as is known it started when an unknown sentient in green and black armor who entered the casino and asking around if anyone had seen a man in armor enter the Lucky Despot. The new arrival was then asked to leave by one of the patrons, to which the armored man responded by sticking his blaster into the patron's face.

Not particularly fazed - at least according to witnesses - the threatened man managed to slap the blaster away and ran outside. Now the armored man turned his blaster on two other people present, an off-duty medic from the First Imperial Marine Expeditionary Force, and a you twi'lek woman. The medic drew his own blaster when threatened and was shot in the leg. His and the twi'lek's return fire did not manage to pierce the armor of the man advancing on him until he hit him between the legs.

At this point suddenly a warning was shouted from outside - the man who had fled earlier had returned and threw a grenade inside. Thanks to the warning the people inside were barely able to take cover though the interiour suffered considerable damage. The man in green and black armor, thought to be a bounty hunter, was then helped in getting away by another unknown man in composite armor while another grenade of unknown origin went off in the casino's entrance.

According to the local authorities no Imperial reports were filed concerning the incident, which has been classified as "gang-related violence".
