 July 22, 2011 - 3:30pm | Big Mo: owner/proprietor of Mo's Easy, originally a UPF encampment during the liberation of Laco's World from the sathar during SW1. Latter it was a Streel supply depot and staging area during the corporate war. Big Mo, a dralasite, who is rumored to be a mercenary that may have fought for both sides in the corporate war (though he make a human style smile on his face and never says when asked) reopened the abandoned canteena not long after the war. Its in an otherwise desolate location but is strategically located to be a way stop for archaeologists traveling from the closest shuttle port to the Tetrarch ruins as well as for wild cat prospectors headed to one of the many canyon systems. The beer is wet and though cheaper than water it still a bit pricey. There perpetually seems to be a few down on their luck prosecutors, mercenaries, and other unsavory types lingering around the bar and the dancing girl can be real hard on the eyes and ears with her scars and raspy horse voice. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
July 22, 2011 - 3:46pm | Some editions of Encyclopedia Galacticana have a picture of Mo's Easy under the listing for "wretched hive of scum and villainy". Big Mo is huge by dralasite standards and well able to bust heads and doesn't tolerate disturbances that break things in his place. Non the less, his bar is a place that sees a lot of mercenaries, smugglers, artifact counterfeiter, and pirates (Devils Canyon is rumored to be a pirate hide out). While the archaeologists working at the ruins will come in for a drink when they transport artifacts they tend to blow right by the bar or air lift them. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
July 22, 2011 - 3:50pm | In addition to Mo's Easy there are a few temporary buildings left behind from the corporate war and these have become shacks/lodgings for the various denizens the perpetually hang around the Easy.

October 16, 2011 - 1:35am | Jedion, Any status on the map work? It would help out any (of us) who'd assist in developing this further -Jeff Actually I wrapped up all the info on this and packaged it as a setting brief for the Star Frontiersman I cant remember is I produced a planetary map but I did it would have been a fractile world map image. What has also been going on is a delicate converstation with the artist who produce much of the art that inspired me. Trying to get his permission to use the art in the zine with the article. We'll be lucky to get permission for even one or two of his pieces as he's doing that stuff for profit. If there is not a world map that probably ought to be remedied as that is an oversite. If I'm not mistaken this material will hit the zine in issue 18 and it would not surprise me if its already in layout. What sorts of maps were you thinking of?
