Losha Tarkon's cantina

A cantina was located in Vargo Spaceport on the planet Varkana and was owned by the human Losha Tarkon, who also worked there as a bartender. One beverage it sold was Dark Blue Milk. Around 10 BBY, the crew of the Nautolan bounty hunter Nakano Lash visited the cantina for a briefing.
While at the establishment, the crew member Bossk got into a fight with other patrons, and his fellow crew member T'onga visited the bar to buy a round of drinks for the team. Afterward, Lash spoke to the crew, expressing her hopes that the crew would look out for each other when she died.

A cantina in Vargo Spaceport on the Outer Rim planet Varkana was owned by the human Losha Tarkon,Bounty Hunters 9 who also worked there as a bartender.

==History==
Around 10 BBY,The flashback events of Bounty Hunters 30 that take place on Varkana occur between Beilert Valance's discharge from the Galactic Empire and the skirmish on Corellia, which Star Wars: Timelines places in 10 BBY and around 10 BBY, respectively. The events on Varkana must therefore also take place around that year. the bounty hunting crew of the Nautolan Nakano Lash visited the cantina for a briefing. While at the establishment, one of the crew's members—the Trandoshan Bossk—got into a fight with Houk patrons. At the same time, T'onga, another member of the crew, went to a bar to get a round of drinks for the group. She,Bounty Hunters 34 however, became distracted by Tarkon and ignored two other bartenders' attempts to serve her. This resulted in it taking a long amount of time to acquire the drinks that her twinBounty Hunters 1 brother T'ongor went to see what had taken her so long, as he was in need of a Dark Blue Milk before Bossk got the crew kicked out of the cantina for fighting. When he realized the reason for the delay, T'ongor told his sister that he would have to get his own drink and returned to the crew's booth.
After T'ongor arrived back at the booth, Bossk, who had since stopped fighting with the Houks, attempted to bait the cyborg Beilert Valance into fighting him, though it failed as Lash held back the cyborg and told him to settle down. Immediately after, T'onga arrived at the booth, and the Nautolan began talking to the crew, telling them she saw them as her family. Lash then asked the crew to promise her that they would look out for each other after she had died so that even at their lowest points or in their worst moments, they would not be alone. With this, the Nautolan raised her drink in a toast, and T'onga clinked her beverage with Valance.
