Minor Locations

Clear As Mud (Emporium): Clear as Mud is the largest cantina on the Emporium and also houses the casino. It is usually busy, but there’s always a free booth for those seeking privacy. The Clear As  Mud casino offers sabbacc tables, including an annual tournament. Private quarters are also available for more sensitive negotiations and dealings. The cantina is run by a Wookiee man named Groomaw who is known for his various styles of homebrewed ale, lager and stout beer sold at the bar.

Food and drink are on offer, but Groomaw’s homebrews are the real draw here and are renowned to be some of the best in the galaxy, if you can take it.

Mobe's (Emporium)Mobe’s is a neatly packed armoury of blasters and ranged weapons. Mobe’s offers uncommon blasters, projectile weapons, and a large collection of attachments. He supplies the means to do it, as well as the service to do it, for the right price. All ranged weapons and relevant attachments found in the Edge of the Empire core rulebook can be found here at any time for the listed price, adjusted by the fluctuations in supply and demand that affects Cartol’s Emporium from time to time. Mobe himself is a silent and old Kyuzo man. He enjoys tinkering with weapons, but dislikes talking about the weapons. Any bragging and enthusiastic gushing will be met with disinterest and polite rejection.

While Mobe respects and enjoys good craftsmanship, he despises gun nuts and blaster fanatics. While he understands Basic perfectly well, he prefers to speak in his native language, particularly to annoy troublesome customers. Mobe also has a workbench where customers may attach and modify attachments for their weapons.

Qoulroz (Emporium)Qoulroz is assumed to be the name of an elderly Gand bounty hunter, rumoured to be a disgraced Findsman. It is also the name of his company of Gand bounty hunters. They have an office and adjoining bar that primarily serves the bounty hunter community. They offer various gadgets and gear; basic armour, ammunition, binders, and stun weapons. Food and drink are also on offer, however the shop’s main attraction is the posting of both legal and illegal bounties. Qoulroz also provides containment facilities for bounties between pickup and delivery, for a fee. Containment varies in cost based on availability, risk, and Negotiation. New leads on legal, listed bounties and illegal, unlisted bounties can be found here.

Qoulroz also maintains some law and order aboard Cartol’s Emporium. Cartol doesn’t want fighting on his ship, thus he has promised that anyone will be allowed safe passage on-board as long as they do not disturb the peace, even those with a price on their head. While many bounty hunters find this protection to be troublesome, they do uphold this rule as Qoulroz will hunt down and punish any bounty hunter in violation of this rules. Most of the time there is at least one Qoulroz hunter on Ringside and one in the entry area to the ship proper. Bounty hunters can also be seen elsewhere on Cartol’s Emporium, moving silently about their business and avoiding anyone outside their community.

Ringside (Emporium): Ringside is the docking ring attached to the mid-section of the main starship. The ring is a low-gravity habitat with four spokes connecting to Cartol’s Emporium by lifts and stairs. Besides serving as a docking bay, the ring is also equipped to do light repairs and minor modifications to docked starships; such as modification options, repairing hull trauma, but excluded adding entirely new attachments. It is also on Ringside that the most unscrupulous of traders and black marketeers belong.

Ringside offers no accommodation and officially no one lives there. Refreshments from dispenser drinks and prefab foodstuffs can be found from vending machines.

Saish'trokk & Chuurdacca (Emporium)Saish’trokk & Chuurdacca are an unlikely combination of a female Trandoshan and a male Wookiee co-workers, quite unique in the galaxy. These two create, modify, sell, and buy all manners of close combat weaponry. If something needs to be fixed, made, or modified; these two will fix it, make it, or modify it. Saish’trokk & Chuurdacca have a smithy for modification of melee weaponry that can be rented by customers

Tin-Tic & Pon-Din's (Emporium): Tin-tic & Pon-din’s is a small shop offering a variety of goods. The owners aren’t interested in competing with other stores’ prices, selling their wares with a slightly
higher mark-up. Tin-tic & Pon-din’s does not offer general goods and stock items, but provides more exotic items and artefacts for collectors. It’s run by owners Tin and Pon, two Jawas who speak fluent and eloquent Basic, and whose robes are stylishly blue and yellow.

Trader's Commons (Emporium): Traders’ Commons is located in an old cargo hold with turbolift access to the hangar bays. This market is open to anyone with goods to trade. Trader’s Commons is run by Joonaz, Cartol’s apprentice, who organizes stalls for small time dealers. Trader’s Commons is the typical destination for a crew to sell cargo and salvage on the open market.

Vio-Car's (Emporium)Vio-car’s is a small, expensive, posh hotel, with full service and a deadpan staff owned by a Duro male named Kirred Nielk. This hotel was originally set up and owned by Kiffar woman known as Etirem Vio-car. She disappeared shortly after the grand opening leaving an unsolved mystery as to her final whereabouts. Nielk, the current owner, has promised a reward to whoever finds her or discovers her fate.

Nielk is a big Duro, he moves slowly, talks slowly and is always eating or drinking something. He has a vast knowledge about food and drinks, but his true love is of holo-dramas and current celebrity affairs. He has the latest gossip about any of the current stars.

Viser N'azan Bazaar (Emporium): The Viser N’axan Bazaar is where you find protective gear in abundance on Cartol’s Emporium. The owner, Viser, collects, buys, and makes quite a variety of armours. He modifies them as well, for a steep price, but with a gleeful smile. His Gamorrean partner, Durmugsh Grussom, works the metal and alloys; creating, repairing, or reinforcing armour.
This unlikely pair works well together, even though Viser is known to make snide remarks about his partner’s skill and intelligence.

XenTech (Emporium): XenTech is an unseemly and small shop run by Radier Krow, a Weequay mechanic and computer specialist, and Do’og Sevol, a Xexto cybernetics expert and medical
practitioner. XenTech is one of the more recent additions to Cartol’s Emporium. They offer cybernetic replacements, and sometimes enhancements. Do’og has several medical droids that helps him attach cybernetic replacements. These droids and Do’og’s medical skills were a welcome addition to the Emporium as many fringers have started using Cartol’s Emporium as a refuge for recuperation after close calls with imperials and bounty hunters.

They also offer some droids, mostly astromechs or medical droids of some sort or another. They do have a protocol droid in their shop, but this droid is mostly kept deactivated for some reason, and they will not sell it. Krow and Sevol greets most customers with barely hidden disinterest. Selling stims, datapads and comlinks isn’t their idea of a good time, nor good business. Customers
who show interest, but in particular knowledge in one of their fields of expertise will at once be treated favourably.

Yulu's (Emporium)Yulu’s has the largest and cheapest accommodations available on the Emporium. It provides single, double and group rooms at quite reasonable prices – however, food and drinks are not offered, nor room service. Run by a Bith woman named Yulu Beteen, this establishment is the largest hotel aboard the Emporium. The staff is friendly enough, but owner Yulu is an unctuous and greedy sentient, focusing on profits at the expense of good service.
