At the top of the cantina, on your faction's fleet, there is a VIP area accessible only via private elevators.

Zone VIP
When you exit the lift, you are on the upper ring of the station with a new, very cozy bar in its center and an outdoor walkway. Here and there, benches, large armchairs and important-looking figures. Behind the bartender, in the middle, a band continuously plays catchy music, broadcast in gigantic holograms on the roof.
