The main welcome space inside the Lucky Despot Hotel & Casino, situated in Mos Eisley on the desert planet of Tatooine, was known as the Star Chamber Café. The Lucky Despot was the property of Lady Valarian, a Whiphid crime boss. Her celebration of marriage to the Whiphid hunter D'Wopp took place within these walls.
Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes were employed by Valarian to provide entertainment at her wedding celebration. However, Jabba the Hutt, Valarian's competitor in the criminal underworld, chose to disrupt the event. He dispatched a Duros bounty hunter along with a number of his thugs to interrupt the celebration, claiming it was to protect a previous financial stake. The Hutt aimed to stop their performance because Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes were contractually obligated to perform solely for him. By a stroke of chance, a group of Imperial stormtroopers also stormed the Star Chamber Café, leading to a blaster battle with Jabba's associates. Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes successfully fled through the hotel's rear exit and disappeared into Mos Eisley's streets.
