Places of Interest
Lau Town
A town was located in the planet Lau. It included a spaceport, where Star Commuter 2000 shuttles ferried passengers to the planet, as well as a cargo port.
In around 18 BBY, the town was controlled by the Galactic Empire, with Captain Mann leading the TK stormtrooper forces patrolling the streets. During that time, Crosshair and Omega, on the run from the Advanced Science Division, crash-landed to the planet on board a Rho-class transport shuttle and sought refuge in the town.
In order to make enough money to bribe a ticketing agent to let them in the spaceport, Omega decided to gamble in a cantina, where she ultimately defeated a Trandoshan patron in the game of balaans. While preparing to leave, she was stopped by Mann, who asked her for another game. When she defeated him as well, Mann forced her to pay a "fine" for gambling, in order to take back what he had lost. He also kidnapped Omega's pet lurca hound, Batcher, and took it to the cargo docks, expecting Omega to show up to retrieve it. When she did, Mann announced his intentions to arrest her and Crosshair, as their status as fugitives had been discovered, but Crosshair engaged the troopers in a firefight giving Omega enough time to open the cages of several animals held in the dock, trampling the troopers and giving the duo time to escape.
Cargo Docks
The cargo docks were located in a town on the planet Lau. Omega and Crosshair, who were on the run from the Galactic Empire, freed their companion, the lurca hound Batcher, from the cargo docks after she was taken by the Imperial officer Mann. They then escaped the planet by stealing a transport ship that was landed at the docks.
Lau spaceport
A spaceport was located in a town on the planet Lau. Omega and Crosshair, wanted by the Galactic Empire, managed to escape the planet by stealing a ship from the spaceport.
Lau Cantina
A cantina was located in an unnamed town on the planet Lau. Omega and Crosshair, fugitives of the Galactic Empire, temporarily sought refuge there. Their plan was for Omega to earn enough credits through a game of sabacc to secure transportation off the planet.
