Completed in 780 A.S., Montezuma is the home and birthplace of the Liberty Rogues' infamous spacecraft, the Greyhound, and is rather less well-hidden than most other Rogue bases. Some of the more paranoid elements within the Rogues suspect that the Liberty Navy has a very good idea where the Cortez Rogues take their spoils after a long, hard day of honest piracy.
Regardless, Montezuma remains, as it has always been, a popular destination for much of the pirate element that accumulates around western Liberty. The colourful assortment of Rogues, Lane Hackers, Outcasts, and the like sprawled across rickety chairs or lounging at the tiki bar serves as a vibrant reminder of the diversity Liberty has to offer in criminal terms, though it also has a more sinister connotation, as the more discerning visitor aboard the ice asteroid may soon realize what a potent threat the pirate hordes can and do pose to the safety and sanctity of the House where they ply their trade. Nick Creeley, Montezuma's greying chief, once proposed that the Outcasts aboard the station teach the Rogues the tricks to their skilful piloting, but arrangements eventually petered out in the face of disorganized chaos.
Practically any good or ware can be purchased in Montezuma's expansive storage bays, from artifacts to niobium, it is for sale here. The prices are in proportion, as well, since Montezuma's dealers do a brisk trade most every day supplying Liberty's undesirables with their daily necessities. "Shady" transactions aren't made aboard this base, with bales of dried cardamine lie heaped beside food rations and superconductors. The nature of the ware doesn't matter, only the amount of credits in the buyer's pocket do.
Crime in the region generally is centered on here and Bretonia, as the only House that yet maintains truly positive relations with Liberty, does a brisk interregional trade, and the Rogues accordingly fatten their pockets with trader spoils. Life is easy on Montezuma, they say, and the Rogues certainly maintain that appearance, for the sake of business if for nothing else, but the ominous threats of the Navy finally getting wise as well as of the roiling pirate masses loom more or less constantly, and every now and again, as the space-raid klaxons wail, it's all the Rogues of Cortez can do to thrust aside their fears.
