Lamentations
Lamentations is a bar and music venue with no faction affiliation located on Omni station.
Shaped like a cathedral-sized hip flask, the trendy and popular venue is curved and tall enough to fit along the outside edge of the station's central ring. A purple, R-glass crystal "ceiling" juts out into the stars, offering a faceted view of the Aleph system. A private lounge hangs just below the ceiling with a perfect view of the dance floor and stage. The stage features hovering holoscreens on either side, which project close-ups of performers or abstract colors and shapes when there are none. Commsphere drones usually hover above the crowds, streaming the latest performances to the galaxy. Opposite the stage and dance floor is a long bar, glass bottles of liquor backlit by glowing lights and attached to their mirrored shelves with magnetic clamps. Arguably as famous as the venue is its resident barkeep Poffy Tango, a flame-haired Xariel man with a following as strong as most famous musicians. His image has even been used to create souvenirs such as bobblehead dolls and Winterflame conifer ornaments.
A backstage area is available for rehearsals, gig preparation and private functions. Though it is a little cramped and untidy, it has the authentic and exciting feel of an area that has been privy to a lot of the hidden side of musical history in the making.
