Infamous for its lawlessness, the port is home to smugglers, pirates, and mercenary groups. Despite antagonizing every major terran power, its remote location allows it to retain its independence. Goods are smuggled out of the port for sale on other worlds. Refugees coming in, hoping for a better life, are often pressed into slavery. Brothels and gambling halls are located throughout the port, and it features a starport, where it is common for cargo to be stolen from.
