Yernstall.
The Sapphire of the Red Ocean.
The new de facto capital of red humanity.
The central star node had risen up to become the most important haven of humans in the Red Ocean.
It was one of the few 'neutral' star systems in human-occupied space where Terrans and Rubarthans were able to tolerate each other's presence.
Many different groups that had the money to operate in the central star node preferred to conduct a lot of trading in this pivotal location.
The Yernstall Central Star Node featured the greatest variety of goods and services. Almost anything could be obtained in this commercial paradise. As long as consumers possessed enough wealth and status, they could always come away with emptier pockets but more satisfied expressions.
Ves hoped to be one of them. He had an entire list of goals that he wanted to accomplish while he visited this storied central star node.
