Planet Cirus II
It was your average day on Agronea, a small and barely populated spaceport that's entire economy was built around syntonium crystals. Most people there either mined, sold or exported said crystals, and those who didn't were usually hiding from the Hutts, or even the Empire itself. This was probably the most boring place in the universe, but it's where our story begins.
The town's only canteen was slightly more alive than the streets, and about ten patrons of various alien races were spread around the tables in the large room. The place was ran by a modified 3PO-model protocol droid with orange plating, and the real owner was nowhere to be seen. By the counter sat a Twi'lek and a Clawdite as well as their droid. For some reason, they had chosen to look for work here, of all the possible places in the Outer Rim.
