Xerxes

Xerxes was a terrestrial planet located in the Xerxes system of the Core Worlds. During the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance, it had a planetary police force and was the site of a weapons shop.

At one point during that conflict, the smuggler Roark Garnet visited Xerxes, where the local police were looking for him. He wished to visit a weapons shop but, wary of an ambush, spent around an hour watching the establishment for any signs of a stake-out. Ultimately, while still not convinced it was safe to enter, Garnet attempted to recruit the assistance of passersby before offering a Human pedestrian twenty credits to go into the shop, look around it, and then report to the smuggler of what he saw inside.
