―A hostess and Cassian Andor^[2]

Prostitutes were individuals who provided sexual activity services in exchange for payment.^[1] They were typically seen working in brothels.^[2] During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the slums of Valentia—the capital city^[3] of the planet Jelucan—were known to inhabit prostitutes, dealers, and smugglers.^[1] In 5 BBY,^[2] the human Cassian Jeron Andor^[4] visited a brothel in the Leisure Zone on^[2] the planet^[5] Morlana One in an attempt to search for his sister. He then asked a hostess about a girl from his homeworld Kenari. After checking, the hostess informed Andor that the Kenari girl no longer worked there, before offering him other prostitutes he might be interested in.^[2]
