79's
79's, a cantina situated on the world of Coruscant, primarily served the clone troopers who were part of the Grand Army of the Republic. Throughout the duration of the Clone Wars, numerous troopers were regulars at 79's. Following the war's conclusion, the collapse of the Republic, and the establishment of the Galactic Empire, many continued to patronize the establishment.
History
Republic Era
Located in the galactic capital city of Coruscant, 79's functioned as a cantina. During the [Clone Wars](/article/clone_wars], the clone troopers belonging to the Grand Army of the Republic would congregate at 79's to relax and enjoy themselves during their off-duty hours. On Coruscant, 79's gained notoriety as a clone bar, although it also welcomed non-clone patrons. ARC trooper Fives enlisted the services of taxi pilot Jay Igno to transport him to 79's, where he sought out his friend Kix to request assistance after uncovering the Order 66 conspiracy. Fives made a hasty departure from the bar when members of the Coruscant Guard shock troopers arrived to conduct a search for him.
Imperial Era
The establishment persisted into the Imperial Era, maintaining its operations and continuing to be frequented by numerous clones, including Cade and Slip. These two clones convened there to deliberate on the events surrounding the destruction of Tipoca City. At the bar, Cade disclosed to Slip his unwavering commitment to exposing the truth, especially given that Vice Admiral Edmon Rampart, the overseer of the destruction, publicly attributed the city's devastation to a storm. However, as Cade exited the bar, he fell victim to an assassination carried out by a sniper employed by Rampart. In the aftermath of the shooting, Slip fled the scene aboard a speeder bike, while several other clones emerged to assess the situation, securing the area upon discovering the lifeless body of one of their comrades.
Subsequently, Senator Riyo Chuchi journeyed to 79's to engage with the clones present, prepared to advocate for their interests in the Senate during deliberations on Rampart's Imperial Defense Recruitment Bill. While some clones initially resisted collaboration, Chuchi successfully conveyed the necessity of confronting the reality of their impending decommissioning and affirmed her commitment to ensuring their needs were addressed.
Legacy
Some years down the line, the 79's logo was used as a decorative element on the wall adjacent to the driver's seat within an All Terrain Tactical Enforcer. This vehicle served as the residence for veteran clone troopers Rex, Wolffe, and Gregor.
Several decades later, the cantina's logo was prominently displayed on the nose of the Green Ace, the racing starfighter piloted by Hype Fazon, as well as on the chest of Fazon's flight suit.
