[Tournament - Canto Bight Classic - Canto Royale] [L14 - Yag'duhl - NR3F] Cards Are On The Table

The woman in red and Gial Chpree placed their cards in the stasis field at the same time, freezing them before the shift. Each stared the other down, a sitting Representative and a fugitive, in a room where the only standing that mattered was the cards - and your bets.

Representative Chpree had come out to the Yag'duhl system to pass in review the Third Fleet. But she'd always had a weakness for the game of sabacc, as she thought it similar to the games of power played in the halls of the Senate - bluff, double bluff, and the cards you hold are always changing. When she'd heard about the open tournament, she'd delayed her return to the Senate to get in a little practice before the Canto Royale.

Lyd Ajar was a woman on the run. Two months ago, she'd stolen a shuttle and fled the jungle world of Thyferra with a pile of credits and a plan. Once a loyal Imperial officer, the fracturing of the Empire left Ajar in the employ of the Bacta Cartel. Becoming slowly disillusioned, she eventually came up with a plan. Hopping from casino to casino, a face trained in the Imperial officer's world of backstabbing and betrayal to betray nothing would be her ticket to turning those stolen creds into a fortune. The upcoming Canto Royale would be the break she needed - she hoped.

The room goes quiet as the cards are revealed.
