Dancing Dewback

The Dancing Dewback was a cantina with a mostly non-Human clientele. The protocol droid GT-9R visited the cantina on two recorded occasions: once while accompanying his master, a bounty hunter named Tirog; and once with the outlaw Dirk Harkness, a pilot named Rhen, a child named Cev Rees, and a bounty hunter called Thannik (presumably GT-9R's master at the time.) It is not clear which visit was GT-9R's first visit.

GT-9R and Tirog visited the cantina to meet with a Devaronian contact, who was drinking a glowing red drink with what appeared to be a small electrical storm hovering overhead. Among the scores of other customers at the time were a group of Human smugglers or traders with a Wookiee companion, three Duros arguing over a game of sabacc, and a very intoxicated Gamorrean cursing in Gamorrese and punching the air.

When GT-9R, Thannik, and their companions visited, the cantina was less crowded, with about fifteen customers present. The purpose of this visit was also to meet with a Devaronian, who was also seen with a glowing red drink. This may have been the same Devaronian GT-9R and Tirog met when they visited. A group of Human smugglers, their Wookiee companion, a trio of Duros gamblers, and a drunken Gamorrean seen in the Dancing Dewback at this time may also have been the ones present during Tirog's visit.

Cev Rees, when visiting the cantina with Thannik and the rest, picked the pocket of Fenn, one of the spacers at the bar. When Fenn noticed his wallet was missing, he found Rhen holding it as Rees melted into the crowd. Rhen claimed he had dropped it, and offered the burly spacer a drink in order to avoid any possible confrontation.

The Dancing Dewback's dimly-lit main room was roughly square-shaped, with a floor space of about twenty square meters. There were fifteen booths and nine additional floor tables, plus seating at a large U-shaped bar extending from one wall to the center of the room. The main entrance was directly across from the bar. A drink of lum at the bar cost two credits.

Behind the scenes
The Dancing Dewback is used in examples of gameplay in the roleplaying game rulebooks Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, Second Edition and Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, Second Edition, Revised and Expanded. The gameplay example describing the Dancing Dewback in the revised rulebook is an expanded version of the one in the previous book, with Tirog replaced by Thannik and with the addition of Dirk Harkness, Rhen, and Cev Rees.
