In accordance with that species' reputation, Zeltros was known as a luxury world, where many went to vacation, owing to the planet's abundance of pleasurable facilities ranging from amusement parks to theatres, night clubs, and much more. There was almost always a planet-wide party occurring, and even when it wasn't, the Zeltrons were looking for a reason to throw one. Like Naboo, it was ruled by an elective monarchy, as long as it didn't interfere with the Empire along the way. This economy and government was pretty much the equivalent of a rich-man's Nar Shadda with more classical and elegant social intertwining.
I hadn't stepped foot on Zeltros for nearly 7 years and made only brief contacts with the Queen's ambassador and my remaining ties within the royal house. I had kept my "profession" to myself quite well. Most who knew me as the Force Hunter knew only the armor, the symbol, not the man underneath. I preferred it that way. Nobody would know of my secrets, nor should they. I would, for this time that I visited, keep myself hidden from the rest of my people the only way I knew how which was leaving the only thing that brought me comfort in these years, my armor. What could go wrong? Of course, where there are cantinas there are drunks. So keeping a blaster, or two, was a good idea and not very suspicious for this type of the galaxy. Zeltros was relatively peaceful and well-organized, but being so close to the border of Hutt space had allowed a little more than just rift-raft into my homeworlds atmosphere.
"It's only for a few days," I thought to myself as I sealed my armor inside of the ships cargo hold, "what could go wrong?" Here was hoping that someone didn't recognize the ship as it entered the atmosphere. But why would they? Mostly pirates or imperials would notice it as mine, but even then the amount of people who had seen it and lived was low. As it touched the airstrip of Zeltros it grinded to a hault as the landing gear clasped onto the ground beneath, securing itself ever-so-tightly. I sighed as I realized I had finally reached the surface, clearly showing that I had missed my home.
"Do they know you are here, sir?" My service droid inquired, wondering if I had even mentioned my arrival before now.
"No, 99," I stated.
"Oh, I see. Well, safe journeys, master. I hope to see you again soon."
"Don't worry so much, I'll be back in one piece sooner than you think." I said reassuringly.
Not everyone on this planet I knew was Zeltron of decent. Many of my former friends and fellow students lived here as well. Only, I couldn't remember how many. Oh well. It was festival time this time of year, but when wasn't it? Nay, this time it was celebrating the birth of the Queen's daughter herself. I hadn't known her very well in my time spent between Zeltros and Rhen Var, but I had respect for the royal family. They had been good to mine, despite our histories. Perhaps one day I could repay the favor, that is, after this festival. I watched as all kinds of races gathered, forgetting how many others this planet housed besides Zeltrons. Their were humans, some wookies, twilek's and even a Zabrak or two that I spotted as I walked the streets of the royal city. It was nice and all, but a bit boring. I was waiting for something, or someone to peak my interest, which was odd considering I never seemed the interested type before.
