OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

SETTING INFORMATION

• City Name: Bloodsoak
• Classification: Pirate Base and Slave Market
• Location: Shola.
• Affiliation: Freebooters of the Slice's Gore Krakens.
• Population: Boasting a population of several million, most of them slaves, with around several hundred thousand pirates, the population can be considered Heavy.
• Demographics: The majority of the population are slaves, with some of them being pirates and slavers that are not the slaves. A lot of aliens inhabit the city of Bloodsoak.
• Wealth: Modestly wealthy due to the abundant slave trade upon the planet, so it is Medium.
• Stability: [ Low, Medium, High? Medium. While order is enforced, it is a pirate's code, so it works on a code of understanding that any trouble can and will be punished harshly. But in any case, there are escaped slaves and bounty hunters always around.
• Freedom & Oppression: Slavery is permitted, and with it, there is a lot of illegal activity and such. Best described as a freebooter's haven.
• Description: The best description of the slave camp element of the city of Bloodsoak is it sits over a volcanic magma tube, in which unruly slaves can be dumped into the lava. Otherwise, it's a ramshackle place, very much made from cannibalized starships and prefabricated metal structures, saving on cost and making ti a truly criminal haven for the illegal activities of the slavers here.

POINTS OF INTEREST
The slave markets are the biggest draw and really the only notable feature aside from the city's varying establishments; it's essentially an open-air collection of slave markets and quarters, though there is some atmospheric generators to keep the corrosive air of Shola at bay. It essentially serves as a means of trading in heavy slave dealings in the Outer Rim.

SECURITY
Medium; it's best described as modestly defensible. A few turbolaser towers, flak guns, and other varying defenses. It does have a local shield generator as well - ultimately though, it utilizes a matter of secrecy versus heavy defense.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
An open-air slave market ran by the Gore Krakens of the Freebooters of the Slice, the slave markets of Bloodsoak were founded by the Gore Krakens in 822 ABY - where Shola served as a discrete location for slave trading. As an end result, Shola's city serves at best as a means of discrete criminal dealings, a haven for crime, and a haven for slavers. Little else has occurred beyond the ever-creeping expansion of its slavery markets and operations, as well as the slow expansion of the city itself...

Hi Fyrago I'll be taking care of this one. Please bear with me as anything I sign off will also need to be second approved.

Cheery place! Added to my vacation list

I would just like some small amendments before I sign this one off please:

• Stability: Can you please just tidy up this section, as the 'low, medium, high' at the start there isn't needed and it might cause some confusion for others. Just make sure it clearly stipulates Medium if that's what you're going for
• Freedom & Oppression: I wouldn't mind seeing a little bit more detail here, for example about its leadership and how it's organised (if at all). Are there any big dogs with more influence than others? Is its free population split up into gangs for example? Who oversees the movement of the slave economy, and are there any headquarters for that, or is it more that it's made up of a bunch of independent slavers and groups all working competitively against one another? That sort of thing would be useful for other writers. Some of this could also be put into Stability.
• Security: Please can you link to the Wookieepedia pages and any custom submissions for all security technology used. In terms of its secrecy, can you give a bit more information into how it's kept secret (whilst still remaining a lucrative economy)? Even if that's just due to the remoteness of the planet, etc.

Please tag me once done
