Good Ol' Scoundrel
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: Slave market flavor
- Image Credit: darkcloud13 @ DeviantArt
- Canon: N/A
- Links: N/A
- Structure Name: Aradishu
- Classification: Slave Market, Black Market
- Location: Savareen
- Affiliation: Dalaq Kher, a Devaronian crime lord of the Outer Rim.
- Accessibility: Savareen is a planet of generally no importance. The slave market relies simply on its location to remain incognito to anyone but slavers, pirates, smugglers and the rest of the scum and villainy troupe.
- Description: A barely maintained, wretched hive of villainy. Most of the vendors are large open tents of anti-solar material to keep the intense heat away while powered fans are stacked by the dozen everywhere. The smell of sweat, tears and blood ascends over all other smells. Even the smell of spice cannot penetrate their dominance. While predominantly known as a slave market due to the abundance of slave vendors, Aradishu naturally has a few spots that sell black market wares other than slaves.
—The Square
The Square is Aradishu's most attractive point of interest. It is an open field of 300m2 surrounded only by wooden, nearly broken fences which hold the audience as they observe slaves fight each other either to first blood or to death. The further a slave went into a tournament the heftier the price he fetched. The types of fights are various but never with firearms. The Square is known for its burgundy ground due to the litres of dried that had covered the naturally desert land over the years. Gambling is, obviously, not only allowed but encouraged.
—The Spire
Contrary to its grandeur name, the Spire is actually a round building of stone rising a floor above the rest of the tents and it is where Dalaq Kher resides. Those seeking Kher's attention for whatever reasons most often spend their day and night there. During the night, the Spire is known for its extravagant but despicable and obnoxious parties bound by no morality. Over the years various phrases have come up due to these parties and what occurs behind the doors of the Spire. Kher's place of residence is a heaven for the vile and immoral.
—Black Market
A small section of Aradishu serves as a market for anything else other than slaves. Here one can find illegal arms such as disruptors, stolen prototypes of different technology, smuggled spice, exotic wares which are either illegal or stolen. As it is a small sector of Aradishu, its variety is rather poor.
SECURITY
Low regarding external threats.
Otherwise, there is no law enforcement (obviously) acting in to serve the interests of the visitors. Kher's goons only tend to his interest and to the general peace of Aradishu.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Aradishu was founded by former Alliance intelligence operative - Dalaq Kher. Gaining influence through information gathering thanks to his access to the S.I.S, Dalaq Kher used the opportunity to build a small criminal empire in the Outer Rim Territories with Aradishu as its center. While Dalaq is not a big stick in the galactic underworld, Aradishu has become a rather popular spot for scum and villainy due to its variety in slaves and even due to Kher's depraved and wicked parties.
