“I don’t know how much legitimate cargo you’re going to find,” Ana says quietly,“war kind of puts a stopper on any kind of business that doesn’t involve things that go boom.”Eris wrote:"As far as cargo and passengers, I haven't had a chance to look into that yet."Wen says, "I dare say we won't have trouble getting folks who want off this rock, and we do have 20 low berths we can fill. Cargo, I'm much more unsure of."
"Folks, the thing is we've only got one place to jump to from here and that's a Zero population planet called Fogbound. I doubt any passengers will want to be dropped off there, so they'll be paying to go through Fogbound and on to our next destination. That will pretty much have to be Shedezar (D589799-7 Ri) as the other choice is also a zero pop planet called Bistron. "
"We're going to need to do some smart speculative trading out here to make enough money to keep the wolves...and the bank...away from our door. Now, Shedezar is a rich planet and agricultural and luxury products do sell well on planets like that so that's what we'll be looking for, right? I'm probably going to be pretty busy getting the ship ready to fly, so we probably need someone else to step up and look for a good buy here for us to sell on Shedezar."
“One thing we do have here is an abundance of is people who want out and they can be broken into three groups. The well heeled crowd who don’t already own a starship, these people want cabins and demand service. In a situation like this they’ll only share a room with their immediate family and still complain if you haven’t got enough room for all four of their Staffordshire Post hover limos. Then you’ve got the middle class, they’ve got some money in their pockets and are more than happy to pay for a two week nap and finally there’s the workng poor. They’re the folk who work two full-time jobs and still don’t have 2cr to rub together. Those folk will sleep nut to butt with ten complete strangers for weeks on end and still ask if there’s anything they can do to help out.”
