**Triple Overdose Club**

Triple Overdose Club is a long-established, famous nightclub in Lithios, and was thus brought over to Cloud Landing. The retro interior style of the club with its moon surface floor and trideo laser effects may not meet everyone's tastes, but it attracts a large mixed crowd of regulars, including smugglers, who seem to like it just the way it is, so it still remains to be one of the major hotspots in the port.

The private office of Zallo the Hutt is in the back of the Triple Overdose Club.

**The Violet Blue**

The Violet Blue is a popular nightclub in Paradise City on Zeltros, run by the nefarious Zeltron, Avalon Grey. After a deal was brokered between Avalon and Cloud Landings original owner Khex Zar, a replica of the nightclub appeared in the Entertainment District of Cloud Landing. With pheromone-enhanced hostesses and an array of illicit drugs and alcohol, The Violet Blue pulls in a steady number of visitors, praising itself as the one place where every vice is sure to be satisfied.

* **The Haven District**

**Kints Diner**

Kint’s Diner appears to be the typical place for greasy and deep fried fare. The dark lighting is simply an after effect of the location on the station. Many smugglers find the location to be the perfect place to keep meetings with rivals public, or ensure jobs are picked up in the safety of an open environment. Most would not try anything because Kint, the owner, is as mean with a blaster as the heartburn his food gives on the way down. As far as the aesthetics of the place are concerned, the seats are worn and well used, but the place looks cared for.

**Bold Greel Apartments**

If you are looking for affordable rent and decent amenities, look no further than the Bold Greet Apartments. Each apartment comes standard with two rooms, a fresher, kitchen, and living space. They can be rented on an standard annual cycle, or standard month to month. Do not depend on them being devoid of crime, however. Most of the tenants are smugglers looking for a place to hide away, or stash things they do not want found. Living here means carrying a blaster. Hale The Bounty Hunter Has a permanent residency here.

**The Marauder Refuge**

Need a pay by the hour hotel? Look no further than The Marauder Refuge. Check in is automated, and rooms are paid for up front. There are few amenities to the hotel as it is not the kind of place you would pick for that perfect vacation. The beds are cheap, the carpet stinks, and something is likely going to crawl on you in your sleep, but at least the bed vibrates, for a small fee of course.

**Hangar Bay**

The massive hangar bay houses the various ships and cargo of Cloud Landings Tenants. Some vessels are commercial, and others owned by Cloud Landing itself are kept in secondary bay. Docking fees are required and charged by the hour, day, or week. Valuable and repeat tenants might find themselves getting a discount. The bay itself is set up with state of the art defenses and security capability. Follow the rules and they won’t blow up your ship.

**Environmental Control Tower**

This is the main control center for Cloud Landing. All those who work as station staff receive free rent and meal vouchers for various places throughout the station. As such, most of the stations critical equipment runs through this center:

* Repulsorlift Engines
* Tractor Beam Generator
* Artificial Gravity Generator
* Atmosphere Generator
* Chemical Converter
* Temperature Sensor

**Tibanna Gas Refinery Center**

Tibanna Gas is the main economic production of Cloud Landing. The majority of station residents are on Cloud Landing because of the refinery. It makes the owners wealthy, and the employees are compensated generously in return. Just because the operation is the front for something a bit more illegal does not mean that the production is not legitimate. All equipment is state of the art, and regular turnarounds are conducted to keep the equipment knew and working well. The last thing the station needs is the refinery exploding because of faulty equipment.

**HISTORICAL INFORMATION**

Cloud Landing was originally owned by Nar Shaddaa kingpin and druglord Khex Zar, former leader of the Grey Aces. Unfortunately for Khex Zar her illegal spice trade into the Galactic republic capital of Coruscant was uncovered, and she accumulated so many charges against her that even the other Hutt families refused to protect her. instead, casting her out rather than risk further harming relations with the republic and having their own operations come under further suspicion. The Grey Aces were arrested and outlawed and in a desperate effort to escape the situation, Khex sold the complex to Zallo the Hutt and attempted to flee from known space. Zallo, taking advantage of the situation provided her with just enough money to disappear and affording the emerging Hutt crime boss a new base of operations at less than a tenth of it's market value.
