Gar's Emporium aka The Pit was a cylindrical bulk ore barge near the event horizon of the black hole of the Black Hole system 299. It was pressurized to house several installations of illegal businesses. It was probably established in early 2634 and was owned by Gar. One walking across the main corridor, can see booths set up down the interior length of the ship housing the permanent establishments. These could vary between lotus dens, brothels for every imaginable species, run-down bars, a church mission, illegal weapons dealers and others of indiscernible purpose. The floor was swill.
