Jack of Harts

Many systems didn’t see new arrivals more than once every few years before the Peloran made Contact. They were islands of civilization in the vast interstellar oceans. The improved Peloran hyperdrives made people like me possible. We travel from system to system, bringing the news and both solid and virtual luxury goods with us. There are courier boats too, and warships are always making the rounds in the Core Worlds and Inner Colonies. But there just aren’t as many ships flying around outside The Wall. I’m often the first ship an Outer Colony has seen in months, and so I get to charge for all the news I’m bringing. I don’t mind that cash infusion one bit let me tell you.
