The Hub

Howotro High Port
Oneday, 057/221
Second shift


Howotro, or "The Hub" as it is more commonly known to spacefarers, has the busiest commercial starport in the Imperial region of the Deeps sector. Situated at the junction of two major trade routes, more ships pass through this system in a day than many starports see in a year.

The planet itself is home to more than 400 million people, divided into a dozen rival nations. The weakest of these has an economy stronger than many neighboring star systems. The rivalry between these nations ranges from almost friendly economic competition to espionage and sabotage with an occasional outright war.

Every day, the Hub draws more Travellers from throughout the sector, seeking fame or fortune or maybe just a steady job on either side of the law.

Four of these Travellers find themselves in the Hub's orbital starport, enjoying drinks and a view of the planet from the windows in Atterburn's Pub. It's mid-shift on a work day, and the pub is mostly empty. These four are discussing the same thing as the other underemployed Pub patrons, "So, what do we do now?"

Introduction

This blog is intended as a tool to help me manage the first RPG campaign I've run in decades. I'll use this to maintain a chronicle of the players activities and any other relevant information as it comes up.
