The '''Kandosii Casino''' is a modified Minstrel-class Space Yacht owned and operated by Clan Vizsla. The 160-meter long Corvette was constructed by the Arx Capital Exchange in 39 ABY, based on a modified design from Ubrikkian Industries.
=Darcy Avarik=
Darcy Avarik is a human male smuggler and bounty hunter, aligned with [[Clan Vizsla]]. He is very young and usually quite brash, often acting impulsively. He provides a stream of conversation for anyone who will listen, which often alternates between irritating and entertaining his audience.


Despite Vizsla’s military strength and mercenary operations, sometimes we all need to unwind after a hard hunt through the Outer Rim, and sometimes, even commanders need some time for R&R. That is where the Kandosii Casino comes in.
He was sold into slavery to settle his parents debts to a merchant guild owned by Nalya the Hutt, the Morakei Mercantile Reach. Always a bright boy with a gift of socialising, he quickly learnt the value of secrets and was able to leverage himself into a position within the guild's hierarchy. He even managed to outwit those he served, winning himself his freedom after securing a particularly valuable asset for Nalya.


The Yacht has been heavily modified from the original design, and features a range of amenities, three decks, an exclusive VIP lounge and a medium hangar that can accommodate 6 starfighters, along with a pair of Aka’jor-class shuttles that cater for the Casino’s guest transfer and cargo needs.
However, as the permanent tattoo on his neck proves, no one is ever truly free of the Hutts. Darcy enjoyed his freedom despite the price on his head, riding a combination of luck, lies and larceny until he found his way to the [[Godless Matron]], where Nalya had no influence. Then the [[Fourteenth Great Jedi War|Collective invaded]].


The Casino calls the Zsoldos system home, and regularly tours idyllic paradise worlds like Cerea and Takodana, and more prosperous systems such as Bespin and Sullust, sometimes with and sometimes without Clan support. These tours will usually last two or three weeks, depending on how many days are spent in orbit around each stop, with another week back home for rest and recovery.
During the battle on the Matron, Darcy aligned with Clan Vizsla and was given a choice: either pay his bounty to the Clan, or be returned to the Hutts. He became one of Clan Vizsla's foundlings, turning his skills at smuggling and fast-talking to the Clan's advantage.


As a public-facing entity, the Kandosii keeps its Brotherhood and Clan affiliations quiet, but does have a reputation for safety, comfort and security thanks to the hard work of its management team.
After bringing in a large swath of credits and savings as a cargo runner and quartermaster, Darcy Avarik eventually formalised his belief in the [[starwars:Way of the Mandalore|Mandalorian Way]], and has recently adopted the Creed and tried his hand at bounty hunting, with mixed success. His first formal contract was to capture the thief responsible for stealing from the [[Kandosii Casino]], but Darcy made a different call.


=== Staff ===
=Caden Itharus=
Caden Itharus is a Force-sensitive human male slicer and droid mechanic. Blessed with an incredible intellect and an amazing gift for droids and circuitry, Caden was discovered by the Morakei Mercantile Reach and employed as a droid engineer and slicer. He has never embraced his connection to the Force and relies heavily on his droids.


The Kandosii Casino is managed by an excitable Bothan named '''Lucil Cuddy''', with security handled by the bulky Cathar, '''Desi Naz'''.
In 39 ABY, he was escorted to [[starwars:Dandoran|Dandoran]] and tasked with stealing credits from the Garganta Galleria Casino before being evacuated when the conflict between the [[The Severian Principate|Severian Principate]] and the [[The Tenixir Revenants|Tenixir Revenants]] [[Rite of Supremacy: Escalation|grew out of hand]].


These two are the double act that keeps the Casino running, overseeing the day to day operations on behalf of Clan Vizsla, however they tend to get along like oil and water and some days, the Yacht’s entertainment isn’t just on the stage. Thanks to Lucil’s social and friendly nature, and Desi’s serious and no-nonsense approach to security, the Casino has a good reputation for safe and enjoyable cruises that service a public that is hungry for entertainment and escape in an otherwise troubled galaxy.
Caden was able to escape his captors during the conflict, and made his way to the Kandosii Casino to try and lift some credits to evade discovery. After his crimes were discovered, a contract was placed on his head and Darcy Avarik was tasked with bringing him in. The bounty hunter made a different call, recognizing the value that his skills could bring to Clan Vizsla, and instead rescued him from some of [[starwars:Jakku|Jakku's]] shadier residents.


The pilot in command is a human named '''Sella Hamne''', a reliable and compassionate woman who expertly guides the Casino along its tours.
Caden has significant difficulty dealing with people coupled with a mild attachment disorder, and he typically finds himself tagging along with Darcy despite the stark differences in their personalities. The two of them are also accompanied by the many droids and AIs that Caden has programmed.


The executive chef is a young Ardennian named '''Carden''', a refugee with a talent for exotic and memorable meals who grows his own special herbs and spices in a very small hydroponics lab.
=Droids=


Lastly, the VIP lounge and restaurant is managed by the exotic Twi’lek hostess '''Sonneta'''. She often provides the guests in the VIP Lounge her personal attention, and every night she thrills guests with her opera-trained voice and her energetic dance routines.
==Ruby==
[[starwars:BD unit|Backpack droid]] RU-B1, affectionately known as Ruby, is one of Caden's earliest AIs. She is also the craziest, possessing a high level of curiosity and a strong belief that she can accomplish anything and everything she decides to do. She was designed to be brave, curious and adventurous, qualities that Caden wished he held more strongly. These traits were programmed quite deliberately to help Caden with his endeavours.


In addition to this crew of regulars, the Yacht is mostly staffed by a rotating mix of people from Clan Vizsla territory, with support from a team of droids, including several BD-3000 luxury droids for the gaming floors and restaurant areas, modified ASN couriers to bus the kitchen, and a few B2 battle droids for sensitive areas.
Ruby will often perform scouting, repairing or slicing duties on Caden's behalf, and these same traits will often lead to Ruby sparking a chain of events with her unpredictable behaviour, or causing significant mayhem while accomplishing the simplest of tasks.  


=== Service Level ===
==Skar==
Standing two meters tall, 5K-4R is a sleek and imposing figure that towers above his wards. To the naked eye, Skar appears to be an old [[starwars:Third-generation design Dark Trooper|dark trooper droid]] with several modifications, including multiple layers of ultra-hard alloys that grant him exceptional strength and durability. His custom photoreceptors are blue, but will gradually redden through purple and into a furious scarlet depending on the threat level he senses. He has blasters built into his arms and a retractable blade for melee combat.


==== Hangar ====
Skar was designed as a bodyguard and valet droid, to anticipate Caden's needs and to protect him from danger. The AI that controls Skar is a marvel of combat programming, and he has a strong affinity for tactical analysis and decisive action. His extensive knowledge of combat behaviours comes at the expense of his social capabilities, leaving Skar very laconic. The AI will often use only one or two words to convey the meaning of his actions on the rare occasions that he bothers to explain his behaviour, which is almost exclusively fixated on the care and safety of those he considers family.
The hangar is a simple block design, with entry and exit from beneath the Yacht. Two Aka’jor-class shuttles are on hand regularly, and they cater to the Casino’s cargo transport and passenger ferrying needs, with most pickups of guests coordinated planet-side. The majority of the Casino’s guests


There is also space for a maximum of six starfighters, but the Casino does not have a complement; instead, the space is reserved for Clan members and special guests who join the Casino between ports.
==Maxx==
Technically named the "Manager of Murder, Movement and Multiple Xenial Xenosystems", M4XX was programmed to manage the care and piloting of Caden's ship. The AI has a predatory nature born from Caden's overactive imagination when it comes to space battles, and a tendency towards sarcasm born from Caden's insecurities about socialising and sharing his home. Despite his rough edges and tough talk, Maxx has been modified to include a restraining function that drastically changes his personality. This helps to stop him from going too crazy, as unlike the other droids this one has laser cannons and a hyperdrive.


A small greeting room is attached to the hangar, featuring four elevators to take guests to the Guest Quarter and Observation Deck areas above.
==Voice==
V0-1C is a [[starwars:L0-LA59|L0-LA droid]], and hovers around as a guest manager and personal translator. Caden programmed Voice with an encyclopaedic database of languages taken from a protocol droid, and she has been outfitted with a vocabulator to allow speech. She was designed to perform translation and social tasks for her master, and performs the all-important duty of shutting down his social calendar. She has, however, picked up a very superior attitude and will often make decisions beyond mere translation, frequently paraphrasing to achieve the results that she is aiming for.


==== Crew Quarters ====
==Mouse==
Behind the hangars is the service deck, which features numerous small rooms for each of the rotating staff, a droid maintenance workshop, and a comfortable staff lounge. The kitchen is also on this floor, with a hollow shaft for modified ASN couriers to shuffle food to the restaurant and VIP lounge above.
Not an individual AI like the others, Mouse is the nickname given to all of Caden's [[starwars:MSE-series|mouse droids]], who are all programmed with the same main protocols. How the AI is able to determine which mouse droid he is actually speaking to is a mystery. The mouse droids are all programmed to accomplish their tasks exactly and without question, and often include models for transporting data and couriering objects, but occasionally Caden designs more specialised models for basic repairs, infiltration and even demolitions.


=== Residential Level ===
=Ships=
==Navigator==
Caden's personal vessel is the [[starwars:S-161 "Stinger" XL|S-161 XL]] luxury yacht, ''Navigator''. The vessel includes a number of upgrades over the more common S-161 models, many of which Caden has made himself.


==== Engineering ====
The cockpit includes a more advanced communication station allowing for limited slicing and encrypted communications. The pilot and co-pilot have joint control over the vessel, however both stations are rendered largely redundant thanks to the onboard AI, Maxx.
The fore and aft portions of the second level are given over to the necessary engineering areas, including hyperdrive, waste processing and power generators, with most controls accessible remotely from the cockpit.


==== Living Quarters ====
The holotable room occupies the forward section of the vessel. The holotable itself has been replaced with a more advanced model of Caden's own design, and the room is ringed with comfortable chairs upholstered with Potolli-weave fabric. Smuggling compartments are built under the chairs.
Modest cabins dominate the second level of the Yacht, allowing for a comfortable stay for all guests who choose to travel with the Casino. Each cabin features a double bed, storage desk, personal refresher nook and a small walk-in robe.


A limited number of luxury cabins are also available for special guests and dignitaries, featuring a small spa and holotable. Luxury cabins have also been set aside for the five permanent crew members.
The common area is a little more cramped than a standard S-161. The room is dominated by a large curved lounge, with a holotable for entertainment. A small terrarium lines the forward port wall, and includes a sizeable coded storage locker for gear, armor and weapons. Another storage locker has been added to the forward starboard corner.


==== Relaxation Parlour ====
The galley occupies the raised area further into the ship. The roof opens to allow natural sunlight into the galley area. A large terrarium occupies the port wall, with smuggling compartments built underneath. Meals are almost always taken at the galley table.
The other main feature of the second level is a massage parlour, with a small fernery and realistic holo water fountain, and a few spa and sauna rooms for the comfort of guests.


=== Entertainment Level ===
The main corridor links the rest of the ship with three personal quarters and the engineering room. On the port side is Caden and Darcy's personal room, featuring a large bed, holoterminal, and clothing lockers. The forward starboard room has been converted into a refresher room for added comfort on long trips. The aft starboard room remains a guest bedroom complete with a small bed and personal storage locker, however it is often used an as extra workshop or smuggling space.


==== Observation Deck ====
The engineering room provides a small workstation for Caden to tinker on things with, along with access to the hyperdrive and power generator. A ladder leads down to a lower section that includes maintenance access shared with a small cargo area that can be accessed from the exterior of the ship.
The Observation Deck on the third level is an open external space that features a large, heated swimming pool, a stage for holodancers to accompany the music system, and a circular droid serviced bar to greet guests as they enter and exit the Gaming Floor. Elevators connect to the Guest Quarters and Hangar below. The elevators face outward, ensuring that awe-inspiring views of the world outside the ship greet all visitors as they arrive on this level.


==== Gaming Floor ====
==Crescent Courier==
The third level is dominated by the main gaming floor, which includes a circular droid-serviced bar and bistro towards the back, decorated support pillars and transparisteel windows along the entire edge. There are two small areas for lugjack machines and jubilee wheels flanking a circular droid serviced bar and bistro along the aft side, along with several small and medium tables for a wide selection of card and dice games, including Binspo, Zinbiddle, Pazaak, Hintaro and of course, Sabacc. All of these draw regular crowds thanks to their visibility from the entrances to the gaming floor. An elegant elevator platform connects to the VIP Lounge above, located in the heart of the gaming floor.
The ''Crescent Courier'' was a [[starwars:JumpMaster 5000|JumpMaster 5000]] owned by Darcy Avarik. It featured several smuggling compartments built into the cargo bay, and provided Darcy with a suitable home during his early smuggler days. The ship was involved in the [[The Children of Mortis|Children of Mortis]] [[Fifteenth Great Jedi War|invasion]] of Zsoldos in 40 ABY, where the backpack droid Ruby kidnapped Caden, seized control of the Crescent Courier and flew it into the warzone to provide air support before eventually crashing and destroying the ship.


=== VIP Level ===
==Covenant Runner==
 
The ''Covenant Runner'' is a [[starwars:YT-2000 Light Freighter|YT-2000 light freighter]] owned by Darcy Avarik. The freighter was used to the bulk of Darcy's smuggling career, and features a number of extra compartments and hidden areas. Combined with his role as one of the Clan resupply quartermasters, Darcy's deliveries of standard goods would often include extra presents and favours for everybody. The ship is currently owned by the Wookiee warrior Snowmane, an old acquaintance of Darcy, in settlement of a debt.
==== VIP Lounge ====
The entire fourth level is given over to the VIP Lounge, an exclusive area within a shielded transparisteel dome that features a catered bar and bistro, a live cabaret stage that converts to a private holotheatre during the day, and elegant little staircases that duck down to viewing platforms above the gaming floor. Large private tables adorn the VIP Lounge to ensure that the best guests always have access to their favourite games.
 
Entrance to the VIP Lounge is quite exclusive, with expensive tickets ensuring that only the galaxy’s better half would experience this space. Holders of the Vizsla Challenge Coin are, of course, always welcome.
 
==== Cockpit ====
Also located on the fourth level is a small elevator room that connects with the permanent crew cabins via a secure elevator. Blast doors connect this guarded room to the cockpit, which is overseen by the pilot in charge and a command bridge droid. Security terminals allow for observation of the guests, and most of the necessary engineering and flight needs are controlled from here.

Caden has significant difficulty dealing with people coupled with a mild attachment disorder, and he typically finds himself tagging along with Darcy despite the stark differences in their personalities. The two of them are also accompanied by the many droids and AIs that Caden has programmed.
