The Hannibal II was, overall, a fairly impressive ship. It was a privately-owned Zephyr that was built from the ground up as a mobile staging ground for civilian operations of all sorts. It possessed some of the heaviest armor in Sirius, and a full-scale military-grade small arms production plant, capable of creating, with the proper materials, everything from miniature laser-pistols to fully automatic shotguns with five-hundred round magazines that required two men to operate. All of this was owned by one man, an entrepreneur from Liberty who made a large fortune for himself by purchasing dozens of planetside businesses on every planet in Liberty, which, under his skilled management, all quickly became successful. David Rose, a nearly unheard-of figure for most people in Sirius, but a legend amongst businessman of all shades and stripes.

The Hannibal II was also a very comfortable ship. Despite its heavy equipment, it was still a civilian vessel, and civilians that spend most of their time in some of the most dangerous areas of known space - the Tau systems - need a good deal of R&R. This is where the Gerousia Magon comes in.


The Gerousia is a most classy place. Soft, comfortable cloth seats, relaxed, friendly employees, a warm and dim lighting and excellent food, not to mention a surprisingly well-stocked bar, made for one of the most famous locales in the Taus amongst weary fighter pilots. Everyone from Colonial military pilots stopping by for a quick meal and a repair or two, to freelancers looking to assemble a mining crew, and everyone in between (except the despised BMM pilots and the forces of the Kusarian Emperor, of course,) was welcome, and frequently stopped by.

It had all the trappings and feel of a cozy establishment on any planet you like, including a quiet jazz band in the corner and a machine that simulated the sound of rain pitter-pattering against the non-existent windows.

Truly, a place many call their home away from home.
