PLUTO MENAGERIE

The Pluto Menagerie is a mysterious collection of perfectly preserved creatures excavated from deep beneath the ice of Pluto. How those creatures got there, let alone how they did so before any of them are believed to have existed, is the subject of many hare-brained theories and poorly produced documentaries often aired late at night at the far ends of the telewave selector.

The menagerie is currently on display at [47.7555 N, 122.3479 W]. The usual admission price of eight Augustinian trout is waived for Mooncursers.

JADE FACADE

When the first offworld traders appeared on Mantar, they were awed by the huge green edifice in the town center. These first traders were so impressed that they overpaid for their goods, but the novelty of the structure lent itself to flashy advertisements that heightened demand.

Due to poor placement of the local spaceport, over time the jade facade fell away, leaving a misshapen blob of a building. The status of the Mantar people fell as well, and while Mantese goods do not sell for much offworld these days, they are sold to traders even cheaper so you may be able to eke out a profit from your visit here.

The Mantarian government recently passed very strict emissions laws, and all ships landing on Mantar must meet their standards or be impounded.

The location is [47.6202 N, 122.3493 W].

CONCORDE STREAM

The Concorde Stream was the galaxy's first highway, a space current that provided an acceleration factor necessary to make space travel a reality. While it has drifted widely over the centuries and was briefly twisted into suggestive shapes by the Canary Incident, the planets along its original path are the oldest inhabited and still provide the most prestigious real estate in the system.

BOWERY BEE

Bowery Bees are a favorite of children across the galaxy. They travel in troupes and move into small parks for weeks at a time, telling old time favorites through intricate spatial arrangements and harmonious buzzing. News of their arrival spreads like wildfire, bringing children from far distances. It is tradition to bring exotic flower arrangements in an attempt to prolong their stay, but they always go, leaving scores of broken hearts.

WILLIAMS

Slang term applied to those addicted to powdered fren antlers. The origin of the term is lost to the nebulae of time, but it clearly has no connection whatsoever to Canon Tuee.

SCRABBLE

Ancient word game that occasionally causes players to shake their eyes and their opponents to have a big snit.

APOGEE

Apogee Consolidated is a multicluster conglomerate with divisions in a number of diverse fields including spaceship bras, exterior garbage containers (via their U-Tow line), Markin lures, and of course, dicatalytic converters. Their latest venture is a chain of viewing posts which can reveal the mysteries of the past, under the slogan: "That's right, stuff that's already happened!" This venture should be less vulnerable to claims of libel than Apogee's previous effort, What's Next Inc., which we cannot discuss due to ongoing legal action in 56 systems and mostly illegal action in 23 more.

Speaking of consolidation, Mooncursers enjoy a Bundle Bonus: All MANUFACTURED items of matching quality earn a bonus of N * (N+1) / 2 *per item*, where N is the number of matching items.

The closest viewing post is at [47.6614 N, 122.3334 W].

THEATER

Welcome to Apogee Consolidated's 45th and greatest theater! Grab some popcorn, take a seat, and sit back- you're in for a show!

SALON BRAVO DELTA

Locks on the doors notwithstanding, they say Salon Bravo Delta never closes. Considering its ant problem, however, perhaps it should--at least long enough for fumigation. Dancing, limber ladies are one thing. Mugs that seem to move on their own are quite another. Bravo Delta is one of the last bastions of old-school Eruante, so if you take any wagers make sure you've got the edge.

SUNSET

Grab some shoes and start bowling. Make sure to find your friendly neighborhood GC contact after each frame.

WORLD OF LOTHEE

Mired in an eternal recession, the planet World of Lothee has long been deserted by all organic life forms. The planet was named after Lothee O'Brash, a cunning and relentless businessman. Lothee's business acumen was so sharp, and his competitive nature so fierce, that he was able to force every other corporation on the planet into bankruptcy. After streamlining his operations to do away with the need for a workforce, this planet was left with no jobs, and the entire population moved away in search of greener pastures. Even Lothee himself was eventually forced to find work elsewhere.

HAMLIN

A backwater artist conclave that vanished mysteriously a scant 40 megapargs after it was established, just after Rex Tiborg's departure. The only clues left to the fate of the conclave are the mosaic plinths left behind.

Hamlin is at [47.5921 N, 122.3175 W].

DEATHPRICK BLOWGUN

Lethal weapon used by the pint-size aborigines of Squee, who compensate for their wee size with the potency of their deathprick. These venom-tipped needles, blown through a hollow reed, can fell a creature one hundred times their size faster than a phenoch sundae.

Visitors to Squee, at [47.5938 N, 122.3141 W], are advised to watch their step. Literally.

EPICURE

A resort catering exclusively to Mooncursers, Epicure is one of Galactic Consortium's latest ventures. Offering gambling around the clock and fresh food served on a scenic beachfront locale, Epicure has become an overnight sensation. Galactic Consortium has spared no expense, even managing to negotiate with the Dough Eaters of Nissa for some of their rare Singing Trees. GC trading agents are always available here to turn cargo into cedricks while weary spacers rejuvenate themselves with great company, a hot meal, and an entirely reasonable 38.4% docking tariff.

Epicure can be found at [47.5796 N, 122.4096 W].
