Location: Fringe Outpost 8-B
This sizeable if slightly unglamorous space station sits deep within the Fringe and serves as a secure point for Fringe merchants to stop over and, indeed, trade. It is home to all the necessary amenities such as breathable oxygen and artificial gravity as well as a permanent population of around 10,000 civilians, most of whom work as mechanics or technicians. As the station is firmly outside Earth's military sphere of influence, and the outpost is close to a number of focal points for trouble, Fringe Outpost 8-B also serves as a rest-and-relaxation spot for Mercenaries, and a meeting place for those looking for work. The station is a beacon of peace between Mercs, as it is owned by the aggressively militaristic Fringe Traders' Alliiance and policed by several thousand elite FTA Marines. For the use of the visiting Mercs, the outpost is filled with low-budget bars, brothels, motels and eateries. Aside from this it's mostly armouries and weapon-outlets.

Most new Mercenaries looking for fame, action, glory and - more immediately - employment, come to Fringe Outpost 8-B. You are one of these new Mercenaries...
