Public We Welcome You

[Anaara Clandestine]

Crown and Spears Hall offered a lot and Anaara served as needed. Sasori was ever expanding and seeking new sources of income as well as consolidating many of its resources... all of it funded their larger projects and went even further. With Crown and Spears well it was opening in various cities across dozens of worlds.... each one trade worlds or where merchants went. The biggest ones who might prove as effective.... The Interstellar Merchants were a captains guild who had been around for longer and offered services to the people. From the frontier at the end usually of some routes to the massive cities that they led to... there was the chance for various halls to flourish as there was always more people who could use the services. She had no intention of going to war beyond something of a rival... they didn't need to put them out of business after all. IN fact as she was sitting there listening to some of the people in the city talk about the opportunity... the local jobs created to build the hall and staff it under the biots that maintained the standards of the company well.. she was glad. The building gleamed and presented itself as a high end establishment... somewhere you wanted to be fancy and shipping vessels who transported Sasori products of course would come here. The design of their uniforms clear to many.

They had much more out and about... the crown and spears staff were all present with new crisp uniforms, gleaming nameplates and most importantly a sample spread for everyone to try and food. That was why she imagined many had come out.. the tables were covered in spreads for hundreds of people and they were milling about.. drinks flowing to celebrate and chance for the ribbon cutting to open everything up. Anaara rising before she was checking out the crowd and smiled offering her best business smile. "THank you for having me. As many know Sasori has been around for a long time now and is a family business so opening this hall and hundreds like it across the galaxy they are inviting you to be part of that family and benefit from the services that they provide. WE are looking forward to bringing all that we can here and hopefully more as the company continues to expand and grow with its new technologies and innovations." She said it and received some claps... her hands on the scissors when she cut the ribbon to pops of confetti and more champaign being opened for the people. The doors openign with the frontmen and women welcoming the people inside.

Sasori was making big moves in the mercantile world. Aeshi had to admit that- to go up against the Interstellar Merchant-Captain's Guild in the form of direct competition was bold. But then again- this was ultimately a Sasori enterprise. The ribbon was cut, and applause rang out across the opening. She recognized many of the uniforms as Sasori in nature- whether their shipping crews or privateers.

Aeshi hung back at the edge of the crowd, more curious about what they might try to impress as their purpose. She was a bit dingy and battered for this sort of crowd.

No need to draw attention to herself. Her spacer's leathers were cracked and worn and grime coated her face. Let the fancy shipping houses take the most attention.

She would wait and slip inside to see what was happening in there.

More people were going in and Anaara walked with some of them. A few of the captains who worked for Sasori were there and they stood with some of their crews. The soldiers who worked as escorts and bodyguards for those who wanted them. The different departments open and ready as the service workers were showing the wares in equipment shops. Cleaning droids roaming around and cleaning up. She went to one of the desks with the biots who were attending to many as the board came to life. Ship names with the captains, the cargo they had for sale and then the destinations for their next stop. Below that cargo that was awaiting transfer and the location that could be picked up and then finally various names with small lists of what they could do as crew or ones seeking passage. THe sounds of several working out deals and meeting the crews could be heard. THe interior fo the hall showing itself with the aterno system of the hall making it so the shifts could shift and meet them. The materia opening to different rooms for lounging or even smoking area that would close off and be outside on a patio.

Aeshi stared at the board of captains, ships, and cargo. There was a certain sense of familiarity to it, but the array of shops and wares was overwhelming. There was something quite different from the quiet, unassuming vibe of the Guild. This was ambitious. She considered for a moment, glancing around the large area, before moving towards a computer console or a droid.

She was curious about the commission rates and other fees charged by the Crown and Spears, especially for the vendors. Were they all Sasori? Or were they independent vendors who rented space?

Anaara continued to look around and moved to the front desk. The Concierge Model biot standing there and welcomign her while sending te information about rooms across the area and the workers move luggage. The business manager looked around while she watched the board. Some were in here and going over the information. Others opening new accounts with the Economic Management Biot who were taking biometrics so it would be a protected account. She noticed one women and walked over as she watched the board. "Welcome to Crown and Spears?" She gave a smile as her eyes both showed it was genuine and took her in. A spacer like they wanted as clients and she was observing more then going which meant maybe she was tentative about things. "If you have questions our Concierge is the most informative source. Or I can help."

"Oh, I'm just looking," Aeshi replied as the woman approached with a welcoming smile. "I'm looking at the types of cargoes and freight tonnage most of your ships offer."

Most of them would be larger than the Requiem, but that was to be expected. She didn't design the ship for hauling bulk cargoes on well-travelled hyperlanes on a regular, contractual basis. She moved small, high-value cargo through places people didn't want them to be. Or at least not without a massive fee. Or in many cases, it was weapons and supplies for rebellious elements throughout the galaxy.

"What sort of information does the concierge have?"

 

[Anaara Clandestine]

"THey can offer information about the sellers here the different vendors both local and in house. They have knowledge of the local area and work to make good relations with the various stores and businesses around to be able to refer. KNowledge about Sasori ships is there but privately owned or ones using the services if it is not public information they might not have unless updated for the records. WIth Sasori's molecular disruptor technology their cargo holds are able to fill five times the normal capacity through dimensional compression and engineering. A gift from the gree we have been working to perfect in better scale. Even this building uses some of it." She looked at the board. "Most of the vessels in the opening are admittedly high end and for show. Merchants who come this way and want to look better. THey likely will not stick around or go to other runs as it is rare to find ones who stick to a single run but not unheard of."
