Random Cannon/Fanfic Help?, Help remembering random things you saw

[ccp]

I thought there used to be a thread for this, but anyway.

I am looking for a planet or a city on a planet that would be sort of like a playground of the rich, but not Ord Mantell. I'm thinking of something akin to the Hamptons were you would be dealing with the ultra elite. I know Ive read about a place like this that was not Ord Mantell but don't remember if it was cannon of fanfiction.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Cowboy

PS. if I over looked a thread that already did this please let me know.

I tried looking on wookiepedia with the key words "wealthy planet" - not sure if that helps.

Thanks TKL but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, still not haven't found exactly what I want but I've been through the lists for the core, the colonies, the expansion region, and the Inner rim. and this is what I've managed to find so far.

Possible pleasure planets

the core

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mutanda - Plains with safari hunting and such more for wealthy hunters. I'm actually leaning towards this one.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Pantolomin - Aquatic world reefs casinos and submarine tours, a tourist location.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vilhon - moon game preserve

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vycynith - forested resort planet

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Amthau - vacation spot for the wealthy inhabitants of the planet Genesia.

Inner Rim

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Champala - Popular resort world with cities that were often submerged at high tide (heavily polluted by end of Galactic empire)

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Telerath - Bank and resort

Hapes Cluster

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Terephon - popular for hunting, and wealthy nobles often built retreats


Still planning to go through the mid and outer rim, I wonder if this is a way for me to avoid actually writing or to avoid work?

TKL wasn't there a resort in one of your and Lex's stories that had Jaina's wedding? or did yall make that up?

Bolis Island is made up and you're welcome to use it. How about the place where Luke and Mara go in Union? Is that what you're thinking of?

[ccp]

Thanks for the offer, I just might be taking you up on that. I have thus far been unable to find where Luke and Mara honeymooned, which I find kinda odd, although I can't find anything about where Han and Leia did either.

Still looking I'll list whatever else I find here incase someone eles might have use of it.

Are either of you thinking of that "floating island" that was really some sort of water craft on the seas of Coruscant - some owned by Lando? Luke and Mara vacationed there when Mara was pregnant at the beginning of the NJO's "Edge of Victory II: Rebirth".

They were very exclusive private resorts for the rich and famous.

So considering that I am back working on this after 6 months I obviously haven't gotten any better about putting things off. Anyway I decided to use TKL and Lex's planet but not Bolis Island, Because after rereading you story I realized that in your background the Island had not been built in the time frame that I'm writing in anyway this is the description I came up with and I wanted to see if you had any ideas.

Their current location was a little known oceanic planet known as Maramere that had been discovered by an adventurous second son to one of the old Royal Houses and subsequently kept to those of that privileged lineage. Recent advances of Palpantines New Order had forced the Royal Houses to give up this last bastion of status to curry favor with the Emperor’s Moffs and Governors. The planet largely undeveloped aside from the few exclusive resorts also maintained some less developed extremely secluded areas for those with a larger desire for privacy, like the private island Han and Leia currently visited under the guise of Hawke and Keida Rayley. This particular small island was maintained by a reclusive entrepreneur who was rumored to be everything from a shipping magnant to the personal physician of Lord Darth Vader. The island however maintained and extremely exclusive guest list which never ever included members of the Imperial establishment. So it was that their contact, whom was supposed to be able to recognize Leia on sight even in disguise, had secured a place for the Rayley’s at the private locale.

Just curious as to how this sounds to everyone else.

[oldjedinurse]

Intrigue. Skullduggery. Mystery. Plots within plots...

Those are the words that came to mind when I read your description.

Very much like your world-building. Your background is well-thought out - as much as you teased us with, that is.

Sounds good to me!

Thanks OLJ

You should be able to read it all when I post the chapter on my lady Vader fic. Might be a day or two.
