The Hannibal II was, overall, a fairly impressive ship. It was a privately-owned Zephyr that was built from the ground up as a mobile staging ground for civilian operations of all sorts. It possessed some of the heaviest armor in Sirius, and a full-scale military-grade small arms production plant, capable of creating, with the proper materials, everything from miniature laser-pistols to fully automatic shotguns with five-hundred round magazines that required two men to operate. All of this was owned by one man, an entrepreneur from Liberty who made a large fortune for himself by purchasing dozens of planetside businesses on every planet in Liberty, which, under his skilled management, all quickly became successful. David Rose, a nearly unheard-of figure for most people in Sirius, but a legend amongst businessman of all shades and stripes.
The Hannibal II was also a very comfortable ship. Despite its heavy equipment, it was still a civilian vessel, and civilians that spend most of their time in some of the most dangerous areas of known space - the Tau systems - need a good deal of R&R. This is where the Gerousia Magon comes in.
The Gerousia is a most classy place. Soft, comfortable cloth seats, relaxed, friendly employees, a warm and dim lighting and excellent food, not to mention a surprisingly well-stocked bar, made for one of the most famous locales in the Taus amongst weary fighter pilots. Everyone from Colonial military pilots stopping by for a quick meal and a repair or two, to freelancers looking to assemble a mining crew, and everyone in between (except the despised BMM pilots and the forces of the Kusarian Emperor, of course,) was welcome, and frequently stopped by.
