Rumors[]

BMM

"This base was built here to supply Bretonia with much-needed Hydrocarbons and Polymers. First, they'll get shipped to the Zoner base here, and then off to New London to be used for our proud old battleships and patrol crafts. Too bad we don't see any of them here -- it isn't called the Border Worlds for nothing."

"We get all our goods from Freeport 1, we do. If you care to make the jaunt you can pick us up the basics. Watch out for those Corsairs; aye, they're gritty ones, they are. Keep outta the Fields as much you can to avoid 'em."

"Go to Thames and fetch us some Mining Machinery. I'm sure my bosses will pay you well for it. The crap I have to work with is all but rusted and busted away, it is."

"The Bounty Hunters here were hired to protect our shipments from Corsairs. The Hessians are more concerned with killing Daumann boys than us, thought they will attack our shipments in the Trade Lanes on occasion. Sometimes we'll even get attacked while we're mining. A ship's weapon will blow a man to smithereens; it isn't pretty."

Bounty Hunters Guild

"All the garbage comes pouring out of the Jump Hole in Coombe Field. If you patrol that area, you will encounter both Corsairs and Hessians. It's rough and tumble area; they kill each other a lot down below. The ones that survive make their way to the Lanes and attack shipping convoys."

"Bowex pays me to protect their shipping convoys at Freeport 1. I also get paid by BMM. That ain't completely allowed according to Guild bylaws, but I ain't just in it for the Guild. I'm here to make money. Besides, who cares if I spit my time? Either way, I'm saving lives. That makes me a good person."

"The Hessians and Corsairs are fighting a bloody war down south of here in Omega-5. They are battling for control of the Border Worlds between Rheinland and Bretonia. The Hessians are expanding -- and that brings them into the Corsairs' Artifact shipping routes to Bretonia."

"BMM and Daumann have a pretty serious rivalry in this system. I'm looking forward to some real hostility getting started between the two of 'em. Some of my buddies I served with on the Newgate are coming here to work for BMM harassing Daumann. They aren't in the Guild, so they can do that."
