The Drunken Bastion[edit]

The Drunken Bastion has a very large spacious area, with a dance floor, wetbar, dining area, and gaming, plus lounge seats to hang around. In this bar you can expect to have a lot of music playing loudly, but just loud enough to where you can still hold a conversation.



Bar Area (H0-P5’s Hoppery)
The bar area consists of many features. On the right hand side of the lounge is a large rectangular wet bar which can provide seating for up to 50 people at a time, high chairs are available upon request for those vertically challenged. The bar has multiple neon signs designed based of each squadron’s emblem which adorn the walls of the bar along with banners from squadrons who won fleet wide competitions. You will commonly find each respective squadron seated under their own neon sign and banner during slow days. Majority of the flooring is a hardwood, made up from the Wroshyr trees found on Kashyyyk, near the bar counter is a traditional diner style flooring with black and white checkered tile to complete the traditional diner motif.

A fully stocked kitchen with a to-go style window can be found centered on the right of the wall, similar to what you would find in most diners. The chef assigned to the kitchen handles all the orders in the back with a non-droid barkeep up front taking orders for food. All drink orders are handled by the newly installed mixicologist droid called H0-P5 who can serve over 1000 different drinks.

The wetbar is adorned with multiple rubber bar mats which have the Emperor’s Hammer insignia as well as napkins, glasses, and mugs which also bear the same insignia. Multiple shelves of empty glasses can be found along the walls of the bar. The bar comes equipped with multiple coolers, a sink station, and a large projection screen which displays different sports from throughout the universe.

All well-drink pull handles bear the logos of each representative ISD-II. The Hammer, the Warrior, and the Challenge each come with their own distinctive flavor profile and each pull handle is adorned with each ship’s logo. Bottles are also available for those who prefer bottled beverages, each bottle is labeled with all of the squadrons emblems, however all bottled beer is of the same flavor. Dining area: (The Fueling Station)

The dining area is adjacent to the wetbar and guests can either be seated at the dining area or at the wetbar to order food, all sourced using the Empire’s extensive connections. The Dining area is sectioned off away from the remainder of the lounge to allow for a quieter atmosphere to speak and discuss topics while dining.

The seating is booth style and also table style with 5 large tables seating up to 10 people, and smaller booth style which seats up to 6. All seating is dark color material with red, green, and blue trimming which is a homage to each ship’s uniforms. The larger tables come equipped with a digital sabaac game format so you may play while you eat.

Dance Floor: (The Imperial Floor)
Further into lounge you will find a large dance floor and stage with multiple lighting rigs, strobe lights, laser lights, and even a disco ball! The dance floor comes equipped with a PA system for karaoke nights and surprise guest entertainers where they can be front and center to liven up the party. The lights can be turned down and focused on the star of the show for a more intimate concert type experience. A jukebox is also available when the stage is not in use. The jukebox comes equipped with all the familiar songs created by pilots of Emperor’s Hammer, such as the popular “Rho Rho Rho your TIE”, “Sin Squad”, “Lambda is the Answer”, and more.

Gaming Area: (Gundark Training Zone)
Off to the left of the lounge is the gaming area where there are multiple lounge booths and large circular cushioned seats. The gaming section has multiple Hammer Toss stalls where guests can throw hammers at a target, a shooting gallery where you unleash the Warrior within by taking down the rebel scum targets using modified E-11 blaster rifles, six dart boards, and four billiard tables for those who like to Challenge others in a rousing game of pool.
