JJE 02/5 There are no sentient species related to S'Korr. Most inhabitants were not native, but had come from a neighboring planet, Show Low. Were humanoid, with short legs and long arms. We come from the planet you may know as Show Low. We were brought here because Show Low has embraced gambling as its primary source of revenue, but it is nowhere near as big as S’Korr.

JJE 02/4  The corvette burst into space outside S’Korr’s lunar orbit. A smaller planet, S’Korr circled a k-class star. With a minimal population, but a massive tourist trade and a Gate with an active digital pipeline, all the galaxy’s games were streamed in real-time.

They seized it, and S’Korr became one of the top three betting havens.

No credit was ever extended to the workers, so they were never in  debt, butr always broke. Most of the re-upped.

People called Show Low by it's native name, Rashveil, a planet that was won on a bet of who could show the lowest card. It had been rejuvenated from its decay and became a thriving recreational planet, nearly the entirety of its economy was based on gambling.
