The Aspre Plunge, a resort celebrated throughout the galaxy, stood proudly on Ataria Island, part of the Spira system. Constructed from steel and transparisteel, this architectural marvel was built into the northern cliffside of the island, descending 100 meters into a submerged ravine. Tourists enjoyed sweeping vistas through transparisteel windows at every level. While the Aspre Plunge Casino was the highlight, the resort also boasted a minisub hangar, facilities for swimming and diving, watersports stores, dining and dancing venues, clubs, spas, both luxurious and affordable hotels, shopping centers, and numerous other attractions.
The Aspre Plunge, situated on Spira's Ataria Island, was considered the most prestigious hotel and casino on the planet. Ingeniously built into the northern cliff-face, the Aspre Plunge was a striking structure of steel and transparisteel. It spanned the cliff's height before plunging into the ocean and extending 100 meters into an underwater ravine. This multi-story hotel featured hotel rooms, shopping malls, spas, dining establishments, and casinos.
The primary landing platform was at cliff level, offering convenient access to the hotel. Shopping centers were situated on the same level, with executive offices above. Luxurious hotel suites were located below the malls, mainly above sea level, with the lower part submerged. Below the luxury suites were spas and clubs, followed by more affordable "budget" hotel accommodations. Dining and dance venues were beneath the suites, and the hotel's main attraction, the casino, was in a spacious, three-tiered room. The lower levels housed diving shops, swimming facilities, and a minisub hangar. Administrative offices were also on the bottom level. Expansive, panoramic underwater windows provided hotel guests with stunning views of the planet's marine life. Elevators in the hotel's center transported guests and their luggage.
The Aspre Plunge casino consisted of three levels, each overlapping the one below, creating a balcony effect. The casino's walls were paneled with greel wood, accented with brass fixtures and railings. A large, curved, 30-meter transparisteel window served as the outer wall, providing views of coral reefs and fish. Each level was dedicated to specific types of games. The upper level was reserved for card players, featuring games like sabacc and Liar's Cut. Noise-dampening fields surrounded each table, and the cards were treated to prevent reading from more than a meter away or from an angle. The middle level featured more boisterous games such as slot machines, Spatz tables, and Jubilee Wheels. The lower level was for physical sports like Null G-Ball, Bounce, and Reflex Races.
