Description:
The Shadowport is the main destination on Syvris. If someone lands on the moon, they likely land here. Almost anything can be found here, from the legal to the decidely not. While it has its fair share of gangs, spice peddlers and a truly ridiculous number of smugglers, there are also legitimate small business owners such as [member="Gilbert Skolnick"].

There is no set tone for the Shadowport, parts of it are well maintained and have the newest toys and best of everything, and parts have fallen into disrepair, the streets dirty and the walls tagged with gang sign. All of it however, is bustling and busy.

History:
The Shadowport was established as a port for smugglers to do business away from any governing bodies. It was first destroyed in 3ABY by the Imperial Death Squadron, was rebuilt, and decimated again by the Gulag plague. It has now been repaired and in operation for several decades, the current inhabitants are hoping the third time's the charm...

Links:
Canon Link, this entry is merely to establish it as being rebuilt in our timeline, there being over 800 years between then and now for this to happen in, and smugglers sharing some characteristics with cockroaches.
Thread in which It features heavily establishing tone and setting
Gentlemen's Club to which several prominent Smugglers who frequent the Shadowport belong

If it is being rebuilt please provide the thread in which it is being done.

For canonical reasons I wrote it as being rebuilt after the Gulag Plague, just so that a major event wasn't ignored... But also as having been around for several decades. As my character has nothing to do with it and has never been there.. I can write NPC posts that take place in the past for you I suppose?

Otherwise if you require that I personally rebuild it, it will be faction affiliated.

Edit: Actually, I would like to dispute this request, or at least find the reasoning behind it because if I submitted this as an entirely new location the above would be enough, but because it is a canon location rebuilt in the nebulous past I have to do an ungodly NPC dev post.

Realistically I would let you deny this and resubmit the exact same thing only calling it New Shadowport and moving it one crater over.

If you had submitted this as a new location not canon I would have still requested a dev thread. Stations need to be submitted to the factory as well. I am talking with the codex judges and admin about this as I believe this shouldn't need one. It could have been rebuilt at anytime and only if things have been modified defense wise (guns, security, ect ect). Changing shops is not a big reason to need a dev thread.

Cool beans! Thanks, and tag me with the decision.

Just to clarify, it has literally no significant defensive or offensive capabilities. I guess a person could say it's likely to have a fair number of combat ready ships and individuals, but as they are largely pirates or smugglers, unless there is a profit to be made and a sure win, they are unlikely to ever unite.

There are no locations on this planet that are designed for military manoeuvres. It is just a bunch of thieves, drug addicts and escorts. They might be scrappy one on one, but there are no major powers on this Moon, or at least not as it is written by me.


Edit: Aaand I posted on the wrong account because I'm on my phone. Apologies.

Edit 2: also it's not a space station. It's a space port. It's on the ground.

After some discussion this sub is being archived.

As it is a canon location it does not require a sub unless you change more then shops (defenses, fleets, additional sections)
