Mandalore/Page I

--3,959 BBY – Six months after the Bombardment of Telos IV--

--Coruscant – Underworld--

Ayjae Bindo sat in the backroom of a dingy cantina in the lower levels of Coruscant, playing pazaak with his Gamorrean guard. Ayjae was on a winning streak, and the Gamorrean was getting angry. The human male behind him burst into laughter.

"You're getting beat by a ten-year-old kid, that's bad even for a Gamorrean." He taunted.

"I'm eleven." Ayjae supplied.

The man pulled out his blaster pistol, walked over to Ayjae and slammed his head on the table.

"Did I tell you to speak, you little urchin."
