The sterile blue glow of a datapad fails to mask the tension in the recruitment office as Zeb Orrelios leans against the frame, chuckling at the sight of Rotta the Hutt blocking the corridor. The Lasat departs, leaving the massive, muscular heir to Jabba’s empire alone with the officer. Rotta tilts his head, his bright eyes locking onto the human with an unexpected, contemplative softness that silences the room. Despite the logistical nightmare of housing such a gladiator, a quiet, warm connection forms as the officer steps from behind the desk, welcoming the gentle giant to the New Republic camp.
