Paradise Atrium

The Paradise Atrium was an upper class lounge located in Cloud City, a tibanna mining colony floating in the skies of the planet Bespin. The Atrium's main floor was furnished with numerous tables and chairs around which patrons could sit, as well as comfortable couches resting against the walls. A large, decorative sculpture rested in a centerpiece setting, and a number of broad windows offered a view of the surrounding area of Cloud City. The Paradise Cantina served a selection of beverages to its customers, and could count humans, Ugnaughts, Twi'leks, and Nothoiin among its regular clientele. Droids, members of Cloud City security, and a retinue of bodyguards were frequent guest of the Atrium, as well.

During the time of the Iron Blockade, the Paradise Atrium was the residence of Voras the Hutt, the reclusive leader of the Ivax Syndicate. Following their discovery of the death of Emperor Palpatine, a young scoundrel and their sister Riley traveled to the Atrium for an audience with Voras in order to solicit the Syndicate's aid in escaping Imperial Purge Troopers sent to kill any who managed to learn of the Emperor's demise. Voras chose to provide the sibling duo refuge, offering them shelter in the Paradise Atrium's guestrooms in exchange for the scoundrel's services as a mercenary for the Syndicate. When the scoundrel turned their sights to establishing an anti-Imperial coalition—assembling an alliance born from members of the hidden Noble Court, the shadowed Kouhun assassins, the Ivax Syndicate, and elements of the Trade Spine League—representatives from the disparate groups met to discuss strategy at the Paradise Atrium.
