SS: CURIUM (NAV 150)
It is unusual for a spaceport to have an atmosphere of pragmatic patience, but Curium personnel seem able to float above the chaos of a super station, oblivious to the usual adrenaline-drenched panic. Weekly station news bulletins may have the latest on equipment avail ability, prices and economic trends, but the headline news covers more mundane topics, such as in-depth articles on the re-carpeting of Level 9 or a viewer comm-in forum on plans for a new station logo.
One event that personnel still talk about is a pirate attack on a commodity convoy that occurred nearby over 20 years ago. Apparently, anyone with a tractor beam could haul in all the salvage he or she could carry — in this case, flower seeds and black market livestock. This cargo combination is a subject Curios seem to find endlessly fascinating. (Whatever you do, don’t get them started on the story about bloodthirsty cows.)
