The '''Rols'Kus''' was a 250,000-seat arena that was located on the [[Planet/Legends|planet]] of [[Coyn]]. It was the site of the immensely popular kus'nar gladiatorial games of the Coynites. Since Coynites viewed these combats as sport, they were not to the [[Death/Legends|death]] unless the loser was unwilling to submit to his opponent. Of course, most combats did last until one of the recipients received a very serious injury, so most "cultured" [[Sentience/Legends|beings]] viewed these combats as barbaric.

There were games every night, and during holidays [[Standard day/Legends|day-long]] contests and championships were held. As a rule, off-worlders were not usually featured in these combats. Coynites viewed participation in the games as an honor, and many young warriors focused their dreams on being named Tawws'Kroyn, "Most Honorable Champion Warrior." Most of the contests were brawling or [[Melee/Legends|melee]] combats, though there was a target shooting contest for archaic guns, [[Blaster/Legends|blasters]], and [[Bow/Legends|bows]]. Each game was played in a series of elimination rounds. The arena itself was climate controlled and equipped with a [[Hologram/Legends|holo]] projection system so that each patron had a perfect view of the action.

During the reign of the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]], [[General/Legends|General]] [[Afren Hul]], the [[Governor/Legends|governor]] of the planet [[Derilyn]], had an arena called the [[Arena of Games]] constructed on Derilyn, which was a copy of the Rols'Kus. On Coyn, many [[Coynite/Legends|Coynites]] viewed the new arena with hostility, because they believed that by copying the Rols'Kus, Hul was mocking their combative system of honor.
