Riau Star City
廖星城 — Bandar Bintang Riau — Зоряне Місто Ріау

Riau Star City is the home of the Kongsi Syndicate, a group within the Independent Miners' Guild that organizes ourselves decentrally and horizontally according to the principles of anarcho-syndicalism and mutual aid. While a small installation at present, the Syndicate has plans to quickly grow Riau's size and infrastructure with an aim to eventually becoming self-sustaining while also being able to permanently host thousands of residents. Access to our home is currently heavily restricted, but certain individuals and groups may be granted special permission to visit us.

Context

As a socialist society, the Syndicate condemns the use of currency altogether, as it leads to unjust accumulation of wealth via exploitation, arbitrage, and other repressive economic stratagems. We instead rely, whenever possible, upon mutual aid, wherein goods and services are freely exchanged whenever the parties involved can spare the material cost, with no tracking or calculation of "debts". However, living in a capitalistic sector necessarily means this is not always feasible. When necessary, in-kind trades or monetary transactions will be conducted on the spot so long as the syndics involved deem it to be conducive to the Kongsi's greater goals.

This space will be updated with details concerning the amenities of Riau Star City as they become available and as publication of said information becomes feasible.

Visiting Riau

At present, docking and mooring at Riau Star City is limited to our closest and dearest comrades. Yet when a man has neither servant under him nor boss overhead, but works for the benefit of himself and his kin, his power becomes unlimited. The Syndicate mines and refines hundreds of thousands more tons of niobium than we and our comrades can presently ship off on our own.

If you're presently a stranger but wish to establish an intimate and trust-based relationship of mutual aid with us, send us a line and we'll work something out. Otherwise, if you seek to profit off of our surplus product, fill out the attached form and we'll decide whether or not we wish to work with you. If we do, we'll let you know and you'll be cleared to visit Riau and purchase refined niobium from our smelters. If we don't, we'll return your application fee to you—as if we don't want to work with you, then we certainly don't want your filthy blood money.

In response to the phase realignment of the Tau-44 jump hole, Riau Star City has been towed to a more accessible location within Java Station's defense grid in collaboration with our comrades in the Guild and our partners in ALG Waste Disposal. As a part of this process, Riau Star City is undergoing a phase of accelerated expansion, with additional facilities being constructed with the aid of friends of the workers of Sirius. If you are interested in playing a part in this critical process, the Kongsi Syndicate would encourage you to apply for access to our facilities. The influx of a contingent of skilled machinists who have fled the depredations of oppressive state-entities and now seek to make their livelihoods working for freedom and genuine prosperity also means that Riau Star City will soon have an array of highly interesting and in-demand equipment available for barter, trade, or perhaps even sale to other parties who strive for the full and final liberation of the working class. Watch this space.
