Area18

Area18 is one of the main commercial ports for interplanetary traffic for the surrounding region of ArcCorp. Travelers can find a variety of good from trusted names as well as local providers, if they're not overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of this landing zone. Security is taken very seriously on the surface. ArcCorp has enlisted (notorious) private security firm BlackJack Securities to maintain the peace. The Observist advises if you have problems, to head to the local UEE Advocacy office instead.

Features a number of the usual stores: CenterMass, Abernathy Interiors, Dumper's Depot, Casaba, et cetera, et cetera.

Significant Characters

 * Lt. Michael Callum of PMC BlackJack Securities is the corrupt security rep in charge of Area18 (they are essentially ArcCorp's police). He is BlackJack's local criminal infoagent.
 * Clor Vee, a former resident of Spider, Cathcart who likes to emphasise the accent, owns and operates weapons shop Cubby Blast.
 * Lev Cronenberg, co-owner of G-Loc Bar is a hard-drinkin' jolly old veteran of the Vanduul and Xi'an theaters who's enjoying the hell out of his retirement.
 * Twitch is a criminal info-agent mercenary who suffered nerve damage (hence the name). She lurks around, making deals and introducing people. She is fascinated by the connections of people. However, datamined dialogue audio suggests that Twitch has been revised as a drug dealer with connections, who resents BlackJack Securities.

Development
