The Drunk Side The Drunk Side , also known as the Dreshdae Cantina , was a cantina located within the settlement of Dreshdae on the planet Korriban , in operation during the Jedi Civil War . The cantina ' s bartender , who also managed the establishment , was the Rodian Mika Dorin ; he had taken over from the bar ' s previous owner , who had run afoul of Czerka Corporation over the establishment ' s operations . Along with spacers and freighter crews who ferried Sith artifacts from the surface , many of the instructors from the nearby Sith Academy would stop by the establishment . Yuthura Ban was the most common face present , often staying there when visiting the colony . While there , she gave final approval to Sith hopeful s who had been given medallions , which signified their worthiness to attend the Academy . When the former Dark Lord of the Sith Revan , who had been mindwiped and retrained by the Jedi Council , came to Korriban in 3956 BBY , he met with Ban at the cantina , gaining her sponsorship to attend the Academy . The cantina was also home to Mika ' s under - the - table business that sold " premium items , " such as prototype Verpine shields and life support packs to special customers . Description . The cantina itself was a simple affair , constructed as an extension of the Dreshdae settlement building , and only sparsely - decorated . Consisting of a single rectangular room , its long , U - shaped bar jutted out from the far wall nearly the full length of the establishment , while seats and small tables lined the sides . History . Built alongside the rest of the settlement , which served as the sector hub of Czerka Corporation operations within Sith Space , the cantina served spacers of many different species . During the Jedi Civil War , hopefuls from around the galaxy gathered there , hoping to demonstrate to any passing Sith that they were worthy to attend the Korriban Sith Academy that had been established by Darth Revan ' s Sith Empire . Many of these hopefuls were largely ignored , though some were subjected to violent ends by the Academy ' s student body . At the same time , many freighter crews , contracted with the shipping of Sith artifacts off - world from the excavations within the Valley of the Dark Lords , where many ancient Sith Lords were buried , loitered at the cantina in between jobs . When the establishment ' s first owner nearly ruined the cantina financially , earning the ire of Czerka Corporation , the Rodian bartender , Mika Dorin , took over the bar ' s operations . He also began a side business selling " premium " arms and equipment to owners of the " Dynamic " - class freighter " Ebon Hawk " . When the mind - wiped and retrained Jedi Revan , accompanied by his comrades aboard the " Hawk " , arrived on Korriban in 3956 BBY , he visited the cantina , seeking clues to the location of that planet ' s Star Map . This ancient piece of Rakata n technology provided data that , combined with information from other Maps , provided the location of the Star Forge , the hidden weapons factory that was the pinnacle of the Infinite Empire and the power behind the Sith war effort . While asking various patrons about the artifact , Revan found that his vessel was the subject of admiration among the pilots and crew that frequented the place . Included among them was the bartender Dorin , who , along with a pair of Human pilots , treated Revan to a brief and admiring history of the " Hawk " and the " services " it had performed in the past . This included describing the ship ' s true purpose , smuggling , and information about those who had owned the vessel previously . Some time later , after securing a Sith Medallion from a student he had killed in order to defend a woman that the Sith had been threatening , Revan returned to the cantina to present the icon to the Twi ' lek instructor Yuthura Ban . Ban , who was apprenticed to the Sith Master Uthar Wynn , was considered second - in - command at the Academy , and was intrigued by Revan ' s power in the Force . She voiced her suspicions that there was more to Revan than he claimed . Revan , however , managed to persuade her that he wished to join the Sith , as getting into the Academy was the only way to reach the Valley and the Map that he suspected was to be found there . After being accepted into the Academy , Revan and one of his companions , the Cathar Padawan Juhani , met a Sith archaeologist named Dak Vesser in the Valley of the Dark Lords . Not wanting to have anything to do with either of them or whatever had brought them to Korriban , Vesser took refuge in the cantina prior to departing the planet , but not before telling Revan about the tombs in the Valley and speaking with Juhani about their past as fellow Jedi trainees . When the Academy fell into chaos following the death of the headmaster , Wynn , and the redemption of Ban to the light side following Revan ' s double - cross and betrayal within the tomb of Naga Sadow , the cantina continued to do business . Eventually , Dorin , with the assistance of his partner Ziagrom , learned of Revan ' s true identity as the former Dark Lord of the Sith , and offered him access to the premium items they sold , including thermal detonators , life support packs , prototype personal shields , and advanced armor suits . Prior to setting out for Lehon and the Star Forge , Revan again returned to the cantina to partake in this continuation of the under - the - table business that the pair had traditionally carried out with prior owners of the " Ebon Hawk " . By 3951 BBY , Korriban was largely abandoned . When Meetra Surik arrived on the ancient Sith world sometime that year , she found the Academy deserted and access to Dreshdae blocked , forcing Atton Rand , serving as pilot , to land the " Hawk " in the Valley of the Dark Lords itself . Infighting among the Sith in the years following the Jedi Civil War had rendered the planet virtually uninhabited . Inhabitants . The Drunk Side was frequented primarily by transient beings , mostly Humans , Twi ' leks , or Rodians , which included spacers on layover , freighter crews awaiting a new shipment off - planet , those hoping to become students at the Sith Academy that had been established not far from Dreshdae , and Sith students themselves . The most prominent patron was easily Yuthura Ban , who , when not teaching at the Academy , would loiter in the cantina , waiting to pass final judgment on those who had acquired Sith medallions . Pazaak was also a popular pastime at the cantina ; the Rodian Toll Apkar was often present and willing to play a few hands . Behind the scenes . The cantina was first introduced in the video game " " . Though it is referred to as the " Dreshdae Cantina " in dialogue , reading the sign next to the entrance shows the name , which is a play on the phrase " The Dark Side . " The player , as Revan , has a number of options dealing with the cantina . However , most of them are unrelated to the player ' s chosen alignment . With the exception of meeting Yuthura Ban , all other interactions that relate to The Drunk Side are completely optional . However , they do point toward the ultimate quest that has to do with that planet , which is finding the Star Map hidden in the tomb of Naga Sadow . While interacting with Yuthura , the player can choose to lie about their intentions if playing the canon ical light side storyline or , if following the dark path , can express an honest desire to join the Sith . If the player has Juhani with them when entering the Valley of the Dark Lords and talks with Dak Vesser , he will flee back to The Drunk Side , intending to run away from the Sith after being discovered . The player has the option to follow him back to the cantina , and either let him go or attempt to kill him ; if Juhani is in the party , however , she will prevent the latter choice from occurring . In addition , the " premium items " quest is not always available , due to how the quest is spawned in the wake of the escape from the " Leviathan " . It is not certain what triggers the appearance of Ziagrom , who gives the player the option of buying the items from Dorin at the cantina .
