- "What knowledge do you seek?"
"Uh, well, I—I wanna know how long I'm going to live. Will I survive this war?"
"Like so many that come to me for clarity, I can only offer but a glimpse into your future." - ―Mika Grey and Bolza Grool
Mika's tent, also known as Mika's stall, was a stall run by the archaeologist Mika Grey within the marketplace of the supertanker fuel depot Colossus. In the tent, Grey operated as a prophet and offered fortune telling services to her customers, advising them based on their desires and fears.
In 34 ABY, the gorgmonger Bolza Grool visited the tent wanting to know if he would survive the ongoing war within the galaxy. Afterward, the Resistance member Kazuda Xiono visited the stall after the pirate Leoz had supposedly cursed him.
Description[]
Mika's tent,[2] also known as Mika's stall, was located near the middle[3] of the supertanker fuel depot Colossus's marketplace.[1] The tent's worn, multicolored roof and entry fabrics featured at least two symbols on its outside, various styles of patterning, and repair patches. The tent's interior was primarily constructed of maroon-colored textiles and gray framing. From the outside, the stall's structure material was held up by gray suspending poles and cables. The tent contained a low table, two patterned rugs,[3] two maroon seat cushions, and a small cloth-covered station in one of its corners. Multiple lanterns hanging from the stall's side wall cables lit the tent's space.[1]
History[]
- "I've heard of many things. A large part of a curse will come down to how much you believe in it or not. And from what it seems, you believe in it more than you are letting on."
- ―Mika Grey, to Kazuda Xiono

Bolza Grool visited Mika's tent to see if he would survive the ongoing war in the galaxy.
In 34 ABY,[4] after she was invited onto the Colossus by some of its residents, the archaeologist[5] Mika Grey began operating[1] a tent[2] where she worked as a prophet and fortune teller to the superstitious residents of the station.[6] That year,[4] the gorgmonger[7] Bolza Grool visited Grey as[1] he[8] wanted to know if he would survive the ongoing war throughout the galaxy.[1]
Before speaking with the Klatooinian, the archaeologist stood at the entrance of her tent and watched[1] the Resistance member[7] Kazuda Xiono and the mechanic Neeku Vozo walk in the marketplace talking about a curse supposedly placed on the former by the Kajain'sa'Nikto Warbird pirate Leoz. Grey then made her way into the tent, where she informed Grool that his future included many tiny and sharp teeth, which the merchant took to mean that the gorgs he sold would eat him. After Grey was unable to specify if it was the case, he pleaded with her to tell him more. However, when the fortune teller refused, Grool paid her and left the tent.[1]

Kazuda Xiono visited Mika's tent to seek the fortune teller's advice about supposed curse he had received.
A short while later, Xiono and Vozo made their way to Mika's stall on the suggestion of the latter to talk about the curse that had supposedly been placed on the former. After Xiono arrived, Grey took a boot of credits he had brought with him as payment and reassured the pilot that a large part of any curse came down to how much it was believed in, adding that she thought he believed in the curse more than he wanted to admit. The archaeologist suggested that Xiono take a lucky charm to defend against the curse and gave him a talisman she had acquired on her travels, which she claimed could ward off evil energy. Xiono accepted the talisman and left the stall.[1]
Not long after,[1] the Frigosian janitor Opeepit[9] visited the stall. Grey and the Frigosian departed from the tent after some time, with the latter holding[1] his[9] head down as Xiono approached Grey, who had seemingly overcome the curse placed on him.[1] The same year,[10] as Imanuel Doza, the captain of the Colossus, gave the Queen of the planet Aeos Prime a tour of the station's marketplace, the pair walked past the tent.[11]
