*Haven City-Station, Kellarin System*

The Haven city-station was one of the smaller cities in the corporation, while nowhere near the size of Salus with its 29 million inhabitants, this station still fielded an impressive amount, four million men, women, and children. Also unlike Salus, Haven wasn't a flourishing, luxurious pinnacle of Kellarin technological and engineering might.

Every nation had its destitute and and underground, and Haven was its home. Housing to smugglers, pirates, and other illicit personnel and businesses, Haven officials were corrupt, with links reaching up to the board of directors itself, allowing it to bypass the wrath of the KSF.

While relatively small, the station fielded massive docking ports, and many cargo and warships passed through on a regular basis, making it a booming trade station. From Haven, cargo considered illegal in most nations would be loaded onto foreign vessels and shipped abroad. The cargoships would return, sometimes with weapons, narcotics, stolen goods, or just with credits to buy more.

To assist in this thriving business, shipyards and factories drifted around the station, building a variety of freighters, and even warships consisting of mostly frigates and corvettes. Despite the trade however, warships were rare, until today.

Johnathon Asmouth, member of the Board of Directors, and controlling some 42% of shipyard facilities and small craft manufacturing had invested quite a sum of his personal finances into setting up his own manufacturing facilities, not quite in Kellarin space, but with Kellarin technologies and ship designs, he now boarded Haven to seek out potential customers.

Asmouth had a fleet of ships, and arsenals of weapons to sell, and he knew there were many pirates, smugglers, mercenaries, and other renegades who would flock to him for the opportunity to acquire cheap and powerful weaponry.

He had contacts, and he sent them out now to bring in prospective customers. All he had to do was wait.

Available:
Haven is a gateway for Kellarin goods, the sale of which is usually controlled, to get into the hands of those that the corporation would not normally sell to. This ranges from everything from foodstuffs to bioweaponry, to Asmouth and his new weapons.

Thousands of small arms are available, and thats just the beginning. Refit kits including shield upgrades, derrier pulse cannons, new Centaur Mk.4 missiles, beam cannons, directed fusion cannons and other systems were available. The greatest objects however, were the ships themselves. Two Lion Class battlecruisers, and dozens of destroyers and frigates. (OOC: not all stats are up, I'm working on a new page for Kellarin goods, for now go here (http://www.geocities.com/the_dominion_of_veredia/))
