Interstellar Chamber of Commerce

[Athenian]

News Update

An unnamed source within the Guild revealed the following in an interview with our commerce correspondent only minutes ago:

Look, you ain't seen me, right? Anyway, I can't tell you everything, but I can tell you that the Bounty Hunters Guild has been working on a building a base way out in the Edgeworlds. Seems to be set to become a headquarters for all sorts of research and exploration.

The Guild is already negotiating for trade ships to get the place up and running. Anyone who can make it out to the asteroid field in Omicron Delta is guaranteed a fine reward. Plus, from what I hear, there's plenty of commodities being sold on the bases out there that are in huge demand in the Houses. You know that Iridium stuff? It's more plentiful than water out there! You can mine it or buy it cheap at Freeport 11.

There's all sorts of hazards to be overcome - not least is the blue-devils themselves - the Nomads. They'd eat you soon as look at you. Or worse! But take it from me - any freelancer with the guts could retire after a single round trip out there.

So it appears that the Guild has established a forward operating base that will permit a more permanent presence in the remote Nomad systems, facilitating the exploration of Nomad space in search of alien artifacts and technologies that can be found there

The new base, Dabadoru Station, lies hidden in a remote asteroid field in Omicron Delta.

Outfitting and stockpiling this new facility is of immediate importance. As such, demand had created abnormally high prices for certain commodities, chiefly MOX, Light Arms, Deuterium, Synth Paste, Nuclear Devices, Pharmaceuticals and Oxygen. Already, small fortunes have been made by those daring enough to haul goods to the remote station.

The mining of certain minerals in the system and commodity prices at Freeport 11 mean that the return trip out has become equally lucrative.

At a special session in Omega 56, the Guild Council undertook to deploy all available resources to secure the temporary increase in commercial traffic into the area. However, all trade ships should exercise extreme caution on the hazardous and potentially fatal route. The vilest criminal elements in all Sirius are known to operate in the systems. Rumours of Nomad ships attacking and sucking out the brains of hapless traders are being whispered in the bars of the Freeports throughout the Omicrons.

Lawful trade ships and entrepreneurial freelance traders are guaranteed massive profits, but be advised these inflated prices will not last forever.
