The Grateful Eight: Meet Privateer's Ship Dealers

Last week, we provided a spotter's guide to the nine types of bartenders in the Gemini Sector. But that was only half the story: each base type also has a unique ship dealer! The ship dealers are even more similar variations on a theme than the bartenders, and they technically are not as numerous because not every individual base has a dealership. There are only eight types instead of nine, as none operate on pirate bases. One thing is for certain: that blue shirt over a black-or-white sweater look is popular in 2669!

Generic:

Agricultural Planet: Seven appearances at Burton, Heimdel, Nitir, Palan, Surtur, Bodensee and Helen. He is especially similar to the Perry dealer, save for a difference in eye shape.

Mining Base: Six appearances at Lisacc, Basque, Rygannon, Vishnu, Achilles and Hector.

Pleasure Planet: Four appearances at N1912-1, Magdaline, Olympus and Jolson. The least common of these four, he is identical to the Refinery dealer with brown eyes instead of green and a black sweater.

Refinery: Eight appearances at Beaconsfield, Meadow, Thisbury, Edinburgh, Basra, Anapolis, Gracchus and Rodin.

Unique: (left to right) New Constantinople, New Detroit, Oxford University Planet and Perry Naval Station

For the record, the Mercenary's Guild (34 appearances) and Merchant's Guild (46 appearances) representatives are identical at every base.
