- If you're ever caught with contraband by the Royal Navy, don't even bother trying to bribe your way out of it. Just drop the cargo and pay the tax. It's better to lose out on some profits than end up in La Fere for a couple years. Of course if you were in the Unione Corse, you wouldn't have gotten caught in the first place.
- The Croix-Rousse region of Planet Metz has a large number of Nox customers. The diamond miners seem to especially like it after a hard day's work. Or maybe they like it during a hard day's work. Or maybe before they go to work. Frankly, I couldn't care less when they like it, so long as they keep buying it.
- When you're out there hauling some contraband, watch out for the Royal Navy. While you might be able to take them on one-on-one, their sheer numbers will overwhelm you quickly. And if a gunboat shows up, it's over.
- We buy Counterfeit Software off of the Council and resell it to various customers around Gallia who prefer to have plausible deniability about its source. Planet Marseille doesn't have trade lanes running to it yet, so all the scientists and their hologame addicted teenagers down there pay top credit for the latest software, however they can get it.
- The discovery of Sirius has brought major changes to our operations. Suddenly there are dozens of new types of products that we can pick up and sell on the black market to our fellow Gallians. The only problem is the Royal Navy guarding the minefields. That's where our skills and expertise come in.
- This King hasn't made a serious effort to try and crack down on our black market dealings. He knows better. He has only to look back to some of his assassinated ancestors to see what happens when you take on the Unione Corse.
- The EFL hotshots who have the privilege of earning a stay on Luxury Liner Belleville have come to expect the finest luxuries, Wine, Cigars, drugs. Did I mention drugs? The current favorite is Nox. You'd think it would be tough getting it on board to our customers, but since the dockmaster is a customer, it's no problem at all.
- One of my bosses lent some money to a Brigand Nox-addict a few months back who seems to have forgotten to repay the cash. So me and the fellas are heading out today to give him a nice pair of cement shoes and shove him out the airlock. Hmmm, on second thought, the shoes are probably not necessary.
- One of our recent recruits just left the Unione and tried to rat us out to the Royal Police. Lucky for us, he snitched to a Corse-friendly policeman. Luckily for him, we ended his life quickly without torturing him and his family first.
- Nox is its own kind of delight, but Wine is a Corse's main staple when it comes to having a good time. And, of course, all true Gallians know that the Wine from New Paris is unparalleled.
- Supplying Corse bases with Nox is a high priority right now. Apparently there is a new product coming onto the market that is sourced from some big criminal faction in Gallia, and we need to make sure that we have the market saturated with our own brand of chemical entertainment before we lose out. Gleize Depot in the Lorraine system is a major distribution hub, so we make regular trips there with Nox.
- We don't bother working with the Brigands much due to their general sloppiness and lack of discipline. They need to shape up if they ever want to do business with the Corse.
