This item is related to the following unit:


Every one aboard the Imperial Star Destroyer II Hammer met at the Drunken Bastion, the flagships infamous bar. The bar was a well lit barcade with dozens of arcade games, dance floor, Hammer throwing, full bar, and dining areas for its patrons. It's hostess, a bar droid named H0P5 serves it's thirsty officers whenever they stumbled into the bar.

Lambda Squadron, after completing a recent mission, celebrates their success at the bar. All 12 pilots walk in while Ranger shouts at H0P5 with a hearty yell.

“H0P5! Let's get a round of your finest brews going for our squad!”

“Coming right up!” H0P5 replied.

The droid uses all four of its extendable arms to simultaneously fill four large pitchers of the galaxies finest ale. She places the pitchers on the long bar counter before grabbing a dozen drinking glasses down.

“Here you are gentlemen, enjoy the beer. Is there anything else I can do for you”?

A small furry Ewok pilot begins to chitter.

“Ee choya noroway manna manna?” says Solohan50

“Oh, and some food here for our Ewok friend here. Can you roast up a few ronto wraps for us too?” asks Ranger.

“I'll put the order in right away, give me 15 minutes and I will deliver this to your table. Here's your number” says H0P5.

The droid hands Ranger a placard with the number 6 on it.

“Wait, why do we need this? We're the only ones here” asks Ranger.

“Yeah it has been pretty slow lately. But its in case someone should order food while you are busy playing games. We wouldn't want to confuse your order, sir.” replies H0P5.

“Ah, good point. Thanks.” says Ranger.

Ranger places the placard on an empty table and the squadron carries the pitchers over to their table. They begin to drink and start the fun. A small armor clad Jawa looks over to Ranger.

“Hey Ranger, have you played the hammer toss game before? asks Gytheran

“Have I?! I'm an expert at the game, see the high scores over there?”

“Yeah, they all say TBR”

“Yep! That's me!”

“Wow. When did you find the time to do all that? Haven't you been spending a lot of time in the training simulator? At least that's what your reports entail”.

“Uhhhh, hey look, more beer!”

Ranger slams the rest of his beer as the liquid slides down his throat. Beads of beer runs down the side of his lips as he wipes his face with his sleeve.

“Okey, enuf talk. Let's play!!” Ranger exclaims as he runs towards the arcade.

The rest of the squadron also finishes their drinks and joins Ranger in the festivities. They all have fun winning games and earning tickets from the machines. Xye carries a large pile of tickets and plops them onto the redemption counter.

“Heyy hic I want prizes!!” yells Xye

The bar droid, working double duty, rushes over to the redemption counter to help Xye

“Hello Sir, I see you have tickets. Do you wish to redeem them for a prize?” asks H0P5

“Yuh! Gimme dat Hammer beer souvenir!!” yells Xye.

“Right away sir, let me just count your tickets up”.

The droid quickly counts the pile of tickets and a number displays on a small screen.

“Sir I have finished counting your tickets, you have 690 tickets available.”

“Yuh!! Gimme the hammer!!”

“I'm sorry sir, but that prize costs 700 tickets. You are short 10 tickets.

“Gah!! I want it!!”

Xye slams his fists on the counter, echoing loudly throughout the empty bar. He turns and faces his friends, almost falling over in the process.

“Guyssss I need more tickets! DemWookieeCheeks! You have tickets hiding in that fur of yours?”

Xye points towards the towering Wookiee before him.

“Who me? Let me check my pockets, I was playing this racing game and I think I have a couple.” says Wookiee

Wookiee shoves his large fists into his pocket and pulls out a handful of tickets.

“Here you go Xye, I didn't win many, there's maybe 10 tickets here? Go ahead and count them”

Wookiee hands Xye the tickets over and Xye hands them over to the droid.

“Okey droid, count em up. Please give Hammer!!” demands Xye.

The droid counts the remaining tickets and the display shows 700 tickets.

“Congratulations sir, you have earned enough tickets for this prize. Here you are.” says H0P5

The droid grabs the hammer souvenir from the display case and hands it to Xye.

“Yuh!! Muh hammer!!!” says Xye

Xye begins to wildly swing the hammer around as he proudly wields the plastoid toy. An announcement is made over the intercom.

“Guest number 6, your order is ready and is deliv ted to your table”

Lambda Squadron drunkenly heads over to their table and begins scarfing down their food. After a few minutes pass, the food is all gone. Music and lights begin playing on the dance floor.

“Let's boogie! Meet me on the dance floor!’ says Ranger

The group heads over to the dance floor as they continue having their fun, showing off their dance moves to end the night.
