History
Between around Year 1 Day 330 and Year 3 Day 8, PlayImp Magazine was available in stands all over the galaxy and on most planets, targeting mainly male Imperials. While mostly popular, it remained rather unpopular in certain parts of the galaxy such as the Hapes Consortium where many women considered it degrading.
PlayImp Magazine and its derived activities were founded by the then future Hapan King Alex Tylger who was undoubtly taking advantage of the un-Hapan values of the outside Galaxy.
PlayImp headquarters was located on Nar Shaddaa.
Released Issues
A total of 10 issues were released:
- 9 regular issues numbered from 1 to 9;
- Issue 8 had 8 pages

Sales Price
While the first two issues could be purchased for a mere 250 credits, the PlayImp price quickly climbed to 7,000 credits with the 3rd edition before skyrocketing to unequaled summits with the 4th edition.

Growth and Diversity
Starting from late year 2, Alex tylger decided to expand the PlayImp business by opening nightclub and stripclub taverns through the Galaxy under the name of Pink Mynock.
The opening of the first Pink Mynock nightclub took place on Year 2 Day 365 on Nar Shaddaa, not far form the PlayImp Magazine headquarters. Many well-known galactic celebrities, mainly from the Empire, were invitied to that opening. It is rumoured that the festivities lasted until well in Year 3.
Over time, more Pink Mynock taverns opened on Nal Hutta, Fallen Prime, and Farfin.
As of year 12, two Pink Mynock taverns still exist in the galaxy but the concept got copied on other homeworlds and it has become frequent to find taverns with very similar services under nonetheless similar names such as the Red Mynock, the Black Mynock, or the Dancing Mynock.
