- Description -
Picaroon's Rest is a circular, two-story structure improvised out of an old security booth on the Blackrow Hyperlines Freight Terminal. Located in a busy concourse, the tavern consists of a ground floor which houses its kitchen, as well as a counter which serves casual customers merely stopping for a meal and maybe a quick drink. The upper level of the tavern, reached by a curving staircase, consists of a more fully stocked bar at which patrons can engage in more serious drinking; there is also seating outside at balcony tables.Bar on the second level is tended by an antique MixRMastR robo-bartender, known to regulars as Mix, modified with an enormously expanded mixocology database; he is famous for his ability to serve a surprisingly good syrspirit old fashioned. The restaurant on the first level is known for its fried and breaded coin-crab baskets with tangy dipping sauce.
- History -
Picaroon's Rest started life as a speakeasy circumventing the exorbitant prices the Blackrow Hyperlines corporation charged for drinks and food at the official cantinas aboard its space station. Originally located in an ambiguous shipping container which would be shifted from cargo bay to cargo bay ahead of company officials trying to shut it down, the Rest outlasted Blackrow's influence, still in business when the giant shipping company went out of business and abandoned the Blackrow Hyperlines Freight Terminal to its current population of pirates, smugglers and overworked Ossein customs agents. One of the best established businesses on the station, the owner of Picaroon's Rest wasted no time expanding to fill the tavern's new-found legitimacy. Taking over an old Blackrow security station in one of the main concourses, the tavern split itself into a ground-level restaurant and a second-level cantina. The Rest proved to be big business with the thirsty buccaneers and other outlaws who frequented the old freight terminal, and quickly became the hangout of choice for pirate gang leaders and ace smugglers.
It was here that Triter Zone, last of the old Ossein Pirates, came to order a celebratory glass of syrspirit after arriving in the system, and from here that he would rebuild what he had lost...
