K’sa from Elend Colony - only at the Golden Aurora

After a long cycle of meetings and inspections The Golden Aurora and Arvaseri Y'bron, the Governor of Elend Colony, signed a contract for exclusivity of distribution of K'sa to the hotel within the Y'toub system. 





Bottled K'sa as it is being sold in the Golden Aurora. 


The only luxury export of Elend Colony, K'sa is derived from the indigenous Didiji, an otherwise unremarkable fruit that is not found anywhere else. The long process from harvesting to bottling lasts for years, but produces a dark, inky liquid, akin to a fine brandy, tasting of vanilla and cinnamon with a strong cherry finish. Perfect as a pre-prandial drink, an after-dinner cordial, or a fine sipping liquor for any occasion, K'sa is fast gaining notoriety among the gourmets, the galaxy's elite, and all who are inclined toward the finer things.



Lord Govenor Arvaseri Y'bron in conversation with a member of our staff. 


We got the chance to interview the lord governor of Elend.

Q: Elend is not really known for luxury products. What lead to the invention of K’sa?
A: A very happy series of accidents, actually. Elend is not a very hospitable planet. The first year, survival was certainly not certain, or even expected. As desperate situations often do, this served to embolden the people. People experiment with what is at hand, to have some sort of control of their lives. One colonist had been a distiller on Corellia, in the brandy industry there. She started sampling various fruits and grains that grew on Elend, at least the few that weren’t toxic. That first batch was rough, but it gave us an idea of how wonderful it could be, so the colonist began refining the process. It took a few years to arrive at what we know and love as K’sa, and it improves every year, now.
Q: What convinced you to pick the Golden Aurora as sole partner in the Y’toub system? We heard that you also spoke with other enterprises.
A: I am an Imperial, at least in name. I also believe that if the Empire and Republic were friendlier, life for all would be better. Most of the strife between the two seems rather contrived to me. [He laughs] That attitude was part of what earned me the stewardship of Elend Colony, it’s not that popular on Drommond Kaas. 
I was impressed by the Golden Aurora from the first time I visited. Non-partisan, and with a superlative staff, serving some of the finest meals and libations I’ve had, I was ready to speak to the owners. Then something interesting happened. During an Imperial Ball, with Sith and Imperial military officers wall-to-wall, a lone Jedi wandered in. I don’t know if the act was deliberate, or if he simply didn’t know that the place was closed to Republic citizens for the evening, but he stood, instantly surrounded by hostiles. And no violence occurred. After some blustering and chest-puffing, the Jedi left, and the Imperials resumed the party. It was a sign to me of a noble thing, of peace between us. That decided me, then and there.
Besides, from a business standpoint, marketing to both Empire and Republic is the smart move, eh? 
Q: Some of our guests were really interested in the source of K’sa. Are the possibilities to visit the Colony?
A: Oh, most assuredly! Elend Colony is, even aside from K’sa, a place that should be visited. We have several festivals and celebrations during the course of the year, where we especially invite travellers to take part. When no festival is happening, the Colony is still most eager to be a destination to remember. We practice something called Tave Dalis, which means “The Sharing”. We share openly and freely, and seek to make the most jaded hedonist sated and happy. We do not encourage children to visit, but there are staff for the Creche that can keep them entertained and occupied while the adults do more adult things.
We have a Harvest Festival coming shortly, to celebrate the Didiji harvest, with native food, dancing, entertainments, and, of course, plenty of K’sa. I invite your viewers to come and see Elend for themselves. If the trip isn’t possible, the next best thing is to enjoy a fine meal at the Golden Aurora, served with K’sa.

The Golden Imperial Ball


With Imperial victories across the galaxy, the Empire wishes to formally commemorate all individuals affiliated or in working capacity with the Empire. With a night of dancing, gourmet meals, gorgeous scenery and a plethora of social interactions to be had. The reinstated head, of the Imperial First Mobile Fleet; Moff Garrett Whitmore with the backing of Darth Valker (Patron Darth of I1MF) and Darth Nottrix (Dark Council Liaison of Military Command), invites Imperials and Imperial allies to partake in a night of gaiety and opulence! Formal attire required.

Out of Character Information

The Golden Aura and Imperial First Mobile Fleet will be hosting an all welcoming social ball. All Imperial based RP players, are welcome to attend! No matter if Sith, Imperial or Mercenary you are welcome to attend the ball. The Golden Aura is a resort based, RP social stronghold which can be accessed through the stronghold public listings under the personal stronghold tab. Expect to be treated like Kings and Queens when attending, for their staff is superb at creating an atmosphere of a 5 star dining establishment. Pleasant background music will be provided.

Note: Fighting or trolling will not be tolerated. Anyone seen causing a scene that escalates to a “physical confrontation” will be asked to leave. Those attending for the purpose of causing discomfort, will also be asked to leave. This is to be a night of enjoyment in lieu of drama

It's never, "Just a steak," at the Golden Aurora

Finding the best quality meat is not always an easy challenge. Especially, in times with scarce resources it can be a difficult task to find meat which is tender and juicy. However, even in times of extreme change, there is no reason to abstain from the best food the galaxy has to offer. Our chefs swear by two sources for steaks, Bantha and the famed Alderaanian Nerf.

Playful, but dangerous when not handled with care. The Alderaanian Nerf.

The Golden Aurora has long standing business relationships with several Alderaanian Nerf herders. 
The Nerf which are used in our restaurant have spent their whole lives consuming the fresh pasture of the Alderaanian mountains. This gives their meat not only a very special texture, but also leads to a slight hint of herbs in the meat itself. 

The ranchers we work with have created their own quality label that is exclusively available to nerf ranchers from the Triple Horn Mountains which follow a strict regime of quality controls. Those include several inspections of the meadows the nerfs graze at, constant monitoring of the composition of the air and the water the animals consume and as well as regular training of all the involved staff. Only ranches which match those criteria obtain the label "100% Alderaanian Nerf" after a two year process.

The Staff recommends - Sâray

It is not always easy to decide what to pick from our menu. Hence we would like to present some of the favourites of our own staff. 

Sâray has been a part of the staff of the Golden Aurora for years now. 
When she started to work as a waitress she was a mere seventeen years old. 
Our guests value her calm and friendly nature. 

For a three course menu she recommends the followign selection: 

Wild Mushrooms
Luilris fungus, Sautéed with garlic butter & topped with spicy bread crumbs. Served with thin flat bread.

Choya dough-dumplings
 Dumplings pan-seared in garlic herb butter with baby dust-corn, roasted tomatoes & cheese. Served with a side of your choice. Meat additives available upon request and will incur additional cost.
Sides: Ale Battered and Fried Tockberry Rings; Crisp Green Salad with Spicy Cream Dressing

Golden Aurora's Signature Tiramisu
Served with caf

We recommend Alderaanian White with the first two courses of Sâray's menu.

Meeting on the Conservation of Dantooine

We were very happy to welcome a committee on the conservation of the Nature of Dantooine. 
The honorable members enjoyed an assortment of bread rolls, made in our very own bakery with spreads which had been created for the occassion. 

The staff of the Golden Aurora is always happy to offer a safe space for private discussions. 

A great night

Many thanks to everybody who joined us for the May the Fourth event. I hope that everybody had as much fun as we had.
I especially would like to thank Gruuvan. The music was awesome even without the British accent.

We are already planing more events but I would like to mention that the Golden Aurora can also be "rented" to host events there. Contact either Geth'en or Sâray and we will work something out with you.
