The year is 2325. Callisto City is the biggest city in the Asteroid Belt Territory. Even bigger than most Earth and Mars orbiting cities. Callisto City is a city in two distinct parts - the city on the surface: dedicated to mining, water extraction, food production, shipping, transport, etc. And the giant spinning city in orbit, at 2/3rds G, with the Administration, the residential district, the entertainment district, import/export, the big brain science divisions, etc. Connected by 2 giant space elevators. And so many ships. All over Callisto (and Ganymede) are small little mining towns, pop up colonies that mostly come and go, a few linger, a few last and grow. And all around the Jovian system, mining. In the Trojan asteroid belts, small mining towns of hundreds of people, dependent on air, water, and food from Callisto. In the Belt itself, large mining platforms, always in need of secure supply lines of air, water, and food. And so Callisto City, home to all the water you can dream of, and massive, vast greenhouses, is the jewel of the outer system, the place to be. And thus, as it ever was and ever shall be, is crime. The underworld. The gangs, the mobs, the foreign agents. The pirates and drugged out cultists, the lost and forgotten. All living water shipment to air shipment to food shipment, all desperate among all this money, all this wealth.... BREAKING NEWS: Earth announces new taxes on the outlying trade routes from Callisto City to the Saturn Colonies.....

I'm trying to start up a Pirate's Union, FYI. Too long have we worked at cross purposes! When, if we simply communicated - nothing more! - we could all increase our hauls substantially. Without impeding on anyone else.

As a charge d'affairs at the customs house on Callisto City, my job is to cooperate with the law. That doesn't mean I like it but we can't just pick and choose. Also my girlfriend and I can't marry because she's a Five-Type and I'm a Four-Type and I am addicted to the secretions of a native mollusk.

Piracy is a real career choice. The shipping lanes are fat with unprotected ships. There's no police out there, Earth ships are especially tempting.

Customs enforcement is no laughing matter. Did you know that the possession of stolen property of ANY SIZE OR QUANTITY from the Callisto government can be punished by 10 enriched life sentences in hard labor? Mentate before you pirate!
