The planet's bustling underground was notorious for its lawless nature, a haven for smugglers, bounty hunters, and all manner of criminals.

The towering buildings were covered in holographic ads, flashing lights, and the constant hum of illicit activities. Ethan turned to his crew, taking in their expressions.

"You all know the plan," Ethan said, adjusting his jacket. "We get in, gather the information, and get out. No unnecessary trouble."
