- Storage:
- The vast majority of the station is taken up with an incredible amount of warehouse space, allowing for the transhipping of goods or their storage for extended periods of time. There are coolers, freezers, secure storage and plain warehouses allowing for the storage of any goods that you might want.
- The Mall:
- The centre of the station contains a mall with stalls which can be rented by small shops, larger shops can be found on higher levels, as well as offices for corporations that wish to set up shop in the Exchange. A variety of hotels and recreation areas can also be found in the central hub.
- Defenceless:
- The Exchange is equipped with no weapons, only shields, tractor beams and point defenses, meaning that if a pirate or offensive army were to find it the station would be unable to defend itself.
The idea of a trade port is nothing new, every planet, every culture had one, a place where trade was paramount above all, where business could thrive.
The Exchange is just that, a trade port, far away from the control of politics and galactic upheaval, where traders can safely transfer and store goods, where shops can sell and casino’s entice customers...for a price.
It’s a gigantic station, built and operated by Locke and Key Mechanics, a galactic name in business and innovation as part of an initiative to boost trade and prosperity across the galaxy. With access limited to the hypergates, the traders were guaranteed a free market away from governmental taxation, of course, any goods that were traded on the station were still subject to customs and duties when they left and proceeded to market, however it was now easy for a trader on Corellia to purchase stock from a Fondorian factory and hold it in the exchange ready to be transhipped all over the galaxy.
While the station isn’t built with the most cutting edge technology and materials, that isn’t what was needed here. The Exchange was built to survive and to not break down, with redundant systems and the common technology that was prevalent throughout the galaxy. That way, it didn’t matter what happened, what disasters occured, repairing the station and keeping it operational to facilitate galactic trade.
