The Widow



“Hello boys...." there came a slight chuckle as the woman flicked a lock of red hair away from her face. A few appreciative whistles cut the air.
"Sure has been a while ain't it?" she'd grin, flashing that smile, a few catcalls would echo, and she'd chuckle out. "Ya'll so sweet, I've miss ya'll too."
There was a chuckle from the large crowd, as the vibrant, sultry, and ever boisterous Danger Arceneau’s holographic image bedecked in a figure hugging blue dress played across every holographic emitter and sign.
“It has been a year, and let me tell you, I've all kinds of goods ya'll won't see anywhere. Throughout the years I’ve met many, many wonderful and brilliant sentients who create magnificent products that by golly you should be able get without having to fuss with going halfway across the galaxy for!
For this very reason, I created the Southern Systems Business bazaar! Bringing the convenience and the peace of mind of having the buying power right in your hands with the click of a button or a shake of a hand.”
A loud roar of approval and cheers erupted from the crowd, brilliant lights flashing over the voluptuous President of Arceneau Trade and head of the Southern Systems Business Bazaar.
No expense was spared in the planning of this event. Contracts with the new Mandalorian brewery for their ale and the tried and true Whyren’s from the Corellian system ensured that there would be plenty of liquor flowing so that the Expo patron’s credit chips within easy access. There were local ventures that catered to the more upscale palate provided an expansive buffet for anyone wanting to sate their taste-buds, finger-foods delighting one and all, ensuring that folk were kept mobile so that they would be able to go from holobooth to holobooth at their leisure.
For those that were not going to be there in person, Danger ensured that the best holo-network slicers and technicians were on standby to provide a seamless holo-graphic browsing and buying experience.
Ain’t no expense spared, not for the Semi-Annual Expo of the Southern Systems Business Bazaar.
A hand went waving coyly at the crowd, attempting to settle them down as Danger shined them all with that familiar trademark grin.
“Here the elite of the elite, as well as your local mom and pop companies rubbed elbows to sell out last years inventory and showcase the new galactic year’s arrivals. Looking to get a discount on something you’ve had your eye on the past year? Well here is the time to get more bang for your credit chip.
Here, the consumer is connected directly to the company -- speaking straight to one of their associates to help a client get exactly what they want, how they want it, and for the right price.”
Hoots and hollers went roaring after this comment, Miz Arceneau flashing a brilliant smile at the crowd as flashes of lights and holonews droids recorded the event live.
“So with that, my darlin’s, I welcome you again to the Semi-Annual Southern Systems Business Expo and Auction!”
More cheers erupted in the vast market place area set out within one of the massive warehouses build by Arceneau. Air conditioning would ensure that the temperature was kept nice and cool, with plenty of water also set out for anyone wanting to hydrate themselves. Booths upon booths from several businesses lined up and down the warehouse, with the main spaceport taken over for anyone wanting to show off their goods in a more tactile manner.
Danger also set aside special firing ranges for anyone wanting to conduct sample test firings of weapon systems and aircraft.

AI-005b Proteus-class Bomber - 140,000 credits - Developed alongside the AI-005, the AI-005b Proteus Bomber is designed to fill the role of heavy bomber against capital ships and enemy bases. The AI-005b is heavily armored and shielded to allow it to survive attack runs on capital ships, but it is not designed to face smaller ships such as corvettes and fighters make mince-meat of it without escorts due to its speed and maneuverability are rather low. However, the Proteus Bomber is also heavily armed to fill the role it was developed for. Its true strengths lie in the three ion cannons on either side of the cockpit and on the nose, the proton bomb launcher in the belly (capable of holding eight bombs), and the two torpedo launchers (each being able to hold six torpedoes). The weapons can be controlled by either the pilot or the co-pilot. Galactic Reveal at the ATC Expo
