| Market, with a population in excess of 7.6 million people, is the planet's trade hub. While the starport is some distence away at Geronemo, Market is where the real action is. Market has the distribution warehouses that store Yori's imports before shipping to their final onplanet destinations, Market has the export warehouses for everything leaving the planet (other than the production of Soft Spot), Market has the freight brokers, the corporate hiring halls, and Sternmetal LIC's planetary HQ offices. Market has its seamier side too, where anything is for sale ... at a price. A combined passenger and freight monorail link connects with Geronemo (and Geronemo Field) and Soft Spot in one direction, and travels the length of Scarland out to Baxter in the other direction. |
