The Illuminated Aquean was a prestigious gambling establishment, found specifically on the resort world of Vaynai, and it was considered an exclusive casino.
Along the walls, enormous and highly-defended transparisteel aquariums were placed, which gave a tranquil form of amusement. At nighttime, the casino was a spectacle of light, with glow beams lighting up the vibrant sea life.

During the reign of the New Order, the casino's proprietor was Amira Nasrabi. To safeguard the fragile, man-made environment, she employed a fearsome security detail made up of burly Mon Calamari. Nasrabi insisted that these guards maintain perfect etiquette, so they wouldn't scare off possible patrons.
