Hello!
I’ve several questions regarding rime syndicates, mafias, illegal things and all that jazz.

- First, is there are sort of Mafia or organized crime syndicates on Thor? I’ve always assumed there were gangs, at least, and of course illegal business here and there, but never really anything specially organized. And if there are, how can out characters relate to them? I mean, can we just assume, NPC and such, or is it restricted to some point?

- Secondly, can the characters in game open a weapon’s shop? This would mean a lot of bureaucracy because of the Vogons, I know that very well, but if related to organized crime groups (if they do exist), could the process be faster, maybe? And just how much money does a character need to open their own business anyway? >:

- Oh, and of course, illegal weaponry and such - I’m not sure if you ever saw Men in Black, but there is this character, Gibbs, that pretty much does that (besides getting blown up all the time).
My character would be extremely careful with this, of course, but I’d like to know if it’s allowed and such. And again, if said illegal items could be related to crime groups.

- Finally, planetary connections. They are currently in a world filled with crooks; is it possible for crooks from a planet to have connections with crooks from other planets and a character has the job of acting as intermediary (aka delivery boy from a planet to another)?

Thank you mods~~

-Just like in any other city, there's crime. That definitely includes lots of unsavory, seedy characters and plenty of shady dealings. Players are welcome to invent, use, and abuse NPCs pretty much however they see fit, as long as any plots that might evolve from the existence of such characters don't affect other players without their permission.

-A weapons shop is just like any other on board the Thor, though there's probably a bit more paperwork involved than with other types of store. If a character opening such a shop has a few well-placed friends, the process could definitely be sped up. That's a detail that's pretty much up to the player, though! As far as necessary funds, a character (who has been in the game for at least 3 months) making even a somewhat-decent wage can take out a bank loan and lease a small storefront.

-And making a profit off illegal weapons is definitely okay! The only thing the mods would ask to be kept informed of would be a scenario involving the sale of any sort of super-weapon that could potentially affect the entire game, should it be purchased by a character with the intent to use it.

-Lastly, though it may be difficult to pull off because no one knows what planet the Thor will be stopping at next, you're more than welcome to do that!

Thank you so much! Mostly this business would be NPC only, I doubt there will be anyone in game wanting a super-powerful weapon since characters have their own weapons/super-powers. However, if something like that happens, I’ll contact you guys :3

Thank you so much!
