- "It's been a very tough first quarter for us. We do get attendants, but they're mostly all from local space. No one seems to want to travel far from home these days. I'm confident, though, that the mid-year will be good to us, what with the kids out of school and wanting things to do."
- ―Graekus Shubelle
Graekus Shubelle was the administrator of Hologram Fun World,[1] a space station and amusement park located in the Zabian system of the Outer Rim Territories,[2] by 22 BBY.[3] In the first quarter of[1] the same year,[3] a decline in the galactic tourism industry caused Hologram Fun World's attendance to drop. The amusement park's queue for the Anywhere Room, a popular attraction where visitors could explore a holographic version of any known planet, dipped from several thousand to under four hundred, with most of the remaining tourists coming from local space. In an interview published in the CoCo District Edition of the HoloNet News, Shubelle expressed their optimism that attendance would return to normal once the younglings were out of school later that year.[1]
