The Outlander Club, also called the Outlander Gambling Club, was a popular gambling establishment and nightclub located in the Uscru Entertainment District on the planet Coruscant.
Description
The Outlander Club was a gambling establishment and nightclub situated in the lower levels of the planet Coruscant's Uscru Entertainment District. It was a popular and busy location for both the higher echelons of Coruscant society and those engaged in more sinister activities. The club had a central bar which offered drinks and various cutouts where patrons could place bets on sports activities occurring across the galaxy such as podracing and grav-ball. Criminals and other individuals who did not want to garner attention would use the club and surrounding areas to sell illicit goods such as death sticks. Fugitives often used the constant crowds moving in and out of the club to shake pursuit.[1]
History
Just days before the outbreak of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, pursued and subsequently captured the bounty hunter Zam Wesell who retreated into the club following a failed attempt to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala. After being disarmed and taken by the Jedi into an alley behind the cantina, Wessell was killed by fellow bounty hunter Jango Fett before she could reveal her co-conspirator's identity.[2]
