Chapter 1: City of Lies

@Darpavien Make a Contacts roll vs. Fair (+2).

Success! Bert you learn that House Rosa has a number of interests throughout the sector, but their biggest export is ration bars for the Imperial Army. They're a young and up and coming mercantile house, and there are all sorts of vicious rumors and gossip about how Maximus Rosa earned his way onto a seat in the ruling Consortium. They run from blackmail and extortion to out right murder, although none of the nobles and wealthy merchants dare say such things too loudly. It's also said they're trying to break into the lucrative silicate derivative business.

@Sgt.Banter, de Gael knowns some generals that are always looking for new supply contracts.

Same...

With a clunk the lander settles on a platform in the voidport. Augmented servitors scramble about the vessel, making necessary attachments to secure the ship to the deck. You disembark, and head to the hive city proper.

Both the Arbites headquarters and the estates of House Rosa are in the upper hive. You make your way through the ancient city, passing through the crowded, polluted main hive on your way up the termite mound structure of Desoleum. You pass through factory areas and habitats, all the while surrounded by the thrum of massive cooling units trying to keep the heat of the machinery at bay. The air is stale and humid.
