Edic Bar

"In years to come, SoroSuub will look back and reflect on what has brought us to the lofty position we hold in the galaxy. It cannot be doubted that the work done by you, the good folk of Edic Bar, will be held up as an example."

- Miim Te'Suub in a speech to his workers on the first day of production of the G-59

Edic Bar was a floating city on the gas giant of Genarius constructed and run by SoroSuub Corporation. SoroSuub was one of the companies that the Metatheran Cartel invited into the Cularin system in 32 BBY in a move to help end the Trade Federation's control of Cularin's trade. SoroSuub financed Edic Bar's construction soon thereafter.

SoroSuub was seeking to diversify their product line, and set up Edic Bar as a construction facility for G-59 Cannibalizers, a very similar ship to Incom's successful Z-95 Headhunter.

Edic Bar was a beautiful city of soaring towers and sharp angles, with the towers arranged to allow the best possible view of traffic within and around the city. The city was also a model of efficiency, with thoroughfares which expedited the movement of product within the city. The docking ports were laid out so that SoroSuub could deal with companies without other competitors learning about the business transactions.

After the first Cannibalizer came off the line, Miim Te'Suub called a halt to production and gave a speech, at the end of which, he gave his workers the day off. Unused to free time, many workers went to Tolea Biqua and partied. The workers of SoroSuub had disposable wealth, and the party ended up spreading from cantina to cantina, transfering to commercial sail barges and private vessels in the skies of Genarius, and lasting for four days.

Every year after that, on the anniversary of that first Cannibalizer coming off the line, production came to a halt for a holiday called Festival, which spread to include every city on Genarius and some cities elsewhere in the system, but the focus was still on Tolea Biqua. The executives of SoroSuub were able to use Festival, and the threat of taking it away, as a control on the workers when something unpleasant needed to be done.

Behind the scenes
Sometimes the authors of the Living Force Campaign Guide seemed to forget that Edic Bar was a new city in skies of Genarius. In discussing the Central Council Riboga the Hutt had put together, Edic Bar was listed as one of the five cities that had representatives in the Council, though the Hutt left the Genarius system 21 years before Edic Bar was built. Also, Festival was stated to be a yearly occurence, but in the timeframe the book was written, it had only been one year since Edic Bar had been built.
