Klatooine
(Unlicensed Starship Market)
On the backwater world of Klatooine, one of the most remote inhabited worlds in the galaxy, there was a market. Like many such markets around the galaxy, it was claimed that anything could be found or acquired there, and anything that wasn't there, someone there would know how to get it. Howl knew that this was never true. However, she had gathered enough intel to suggest that this market in particular actually might have something she could use. "Intel" might have been a somewhat gracious term for drunken conversation at cantinas, but there was a surprising amount of truth that was spilled at the various galactic watering holes along with beverages. Civilizations rise and fall, empires are built and toppled, wars fought and peace made, all this and more took place around the local bar. Or at lease that's what a smuggler had told her once. With the amount of information that one could find at such locations, Howl was inclined to believe the old drunk's words.(Unlicensed Starship Market)
The lone spacer made her way through the market, scanning the various traders and their starships gathered around the market. Klatooine was a remote place and much of the planet's interstellar commerce was conducted at a handful of markets such as this one. That being the case, it was a rather large affair with many locals and foreigners present, and quite a few starships. Indeed, the market's structure was nowhere near large enough to hold all of the merchants and their wares, so many parked their ships around the market in concentric circles and used the ships themselves as their shops and storefronts. Indeed, some of these traders were actually here to sell the ships themselves, and it was beings such as this that Howl had come here to see. From an observation spire at the center of the market, Howl had witnessed a ship that would suit her needs quite nicely, now she simply had to find it. Howl was a skilled navigator and had an excellent sense of direction, but her skills were proving only marginally effective in the wild layout of the market. Still, her sense of direction told her that she was near her target. She only needed to see a stabilizer fin or tail insignia rising over the signs and awnings surrounding her.
