Immediately accessible from the majority of Cloud City's landing bays and platforms, Port Town occupies levels 121 through 160 of the facility. In addition to the predictable warehouses, starship repair and refueling facilities, and other necessities of an active starport, Port Town offers lower-class amenities and entertainment for visiting spacefarers. A seedy and disreputable region, Port Town contains gambling dens, flophouses, cantinas, red light districts, and a wide variety of underworld opportunities and dangers. Unless a visitor has special connections or a prior arrangement, anyone requesting permission to dock a starship at Cloud City will be directed to one of the Port Town landing bays or docking ports. Port fees are low to encourage tourists and traders, only 25 credits for the first day and 15 credits for each additional day.
Because it's off-grid and doesn't concern itself with
issues such as liquor licenses and paying taxes, drinks
are cheap. Because it's already breaking the law by
simply existing, illegal entertainment such as spice,
gambling, and bloodsports are readily available. The
Four-and-a-Half has become one of the premiere cantinas for the establishing of underworld connections
and the making of under-the-table deals.
