Altia, located in the Altair system, is a hub of black market activity in the Federation. Stolen goods regularly turn up on Altia, and the ever-changing population is filled with thieves, pirates, corrupt law officials, and shady businessmen. Despite the rampant crime, however, things on this planet are kept relatively peaceful as an all-out war would hurt everyone's interests. Experienced pilots can pick up some relatively uncommon outfits at the outfitters, both legal and otherwise.
