Canto Bight police headquarters

The Canto Bight police headquarters was a command center and holding facility located in the coastal city of Canto Bight on Cantonica, where the officers of the corrupt Canto Bight Police Department based their operations. It was home to the largest jail on the planet.[2]

History[]

Kedpin Shoklop

Vacationer Kedpin Shoklop was wrongfully arrested by the Canto Bight Police Department and taken to their headquarters.

In 34 ABY, as Vaporator Salesbeing of the Year, VaporTech employee Kedpin Shoklop won a trip to Canto Bight, but was quickly and unwillingly swept into the criminal activities of one Anglang Lehet. Lehet intended to use a Bomb swallowed by Shoklop, and then get the Wermal arrested, so he could detonate the device and kill a member of the Canto Bight Police Department named Brawg in their headquarters. Shoklop was soon framed and arrested, and taken to the police headquarters, where Brawg began his interrogation. Upon realizing the moral implications of his actions, Lehet decided not to blow up Shoklop, who had been beaten and placed in a cell. Lehet used his advance pay for the assassination to bail out Shoklop under the guise of Shoklop's sentence being written off, and the two soon-to-be friends left the headquarters, the job having been a bust.[1]

Later, during their search for Maz Kanata's associate Master Codebreaker in their attempt to help the Resistance to escape from the First Order's clutches, Finn, Rose Tico, and BB-8 traveled to the Canto Casino at Canto Bight. Once there, after breaking parking violation 27B/6 by landing their transport on the beach, Finn and Tico were incapacitated with stun blasts by the Canto Bight Police Department and hauled off to the Canto Bight Jail. After escaping from Dobbu Scay at the city's casino, BB-8 went to the jail to rescue his friends.[3]

Canto Bight police officers gamble in the police headquarters.

While being held in the jail, and hopeless about the state of the Resistance, Finn and Rose met a fellow prisoner named DJ in their cell who offered them the chance to escape. As both Rebels were doubtful, DJ sliced into the lock and opened their cell door only to find that BB-8 had entered into the jail and tied and gagged several officers who were busy gambling at a table in the hallway. After Rose and Finn accepted DJ's deal to escape, DJ, with the help of BB-8, managed to knock out the police officer who discovered what happened to his comrades. After dealing with the officers, the Resistance heroes proceeded to escape from the jail to the Canto Bight racetrack through a sewer manhole in the headquarters' floor.[3]

CantoBightStreets

Canto Bight police headquarters overlooked the gleaming streets of the resort city.

Canto Bight police headquarters was a large, tan, sloped, round building residing high in the coastal city of Canto Bight, overlooking the Sea of Cantonica and the city's streets. The building had barred windows in a ring around a higher level, and a barred, gated walkway area surrounding the base of the structure, where police officers could walk, illuminated by floating lamps around the headquarters. Spurring off of the walkway were several landing platforms for the department's Zephyr GB-134 speeders, allowing for direct access to the craft from the headquarters. Near the central structure, there was at least one separate tower-like structure with more landing pads for speeders.[3]

Rose and Finn deliberate in the headquarters' prison.

The police headquarters' jail consisted of at least one long, rounded hallway, with dim lighting. The entire interior of the prison was a deep gray, with each cell having a round, metal, barred door with a lock on the outside, controlling extra bars on top of the main door, that could be retracted when opened. The prison's cells had bunk beds placed on either side of the room, with a wall-mounted ladder for access to the top bunk. Nearby outside, there were panels on the walls of the hallway, and at least one sewer cover on the floor, with access to the city's sewer system, and eventually the racetrack. Inside the main hallway, there was also a table and chairs for officers to sit at, where several even gambled over a game of cards in one instance.[3] There were also interrogation rooms inside the headquarters.[1]
