Competition: Port Ol'val Front Businesses

Finished
Port Ol'val Front Businesses

To remain undetected in the day-to-day life on Port Ol'val, House Qel-Droma must use businesses that hide their activities called fronts. Develop a front business that your character would run to help House Qel-Droma gain control of Port Ol'val, yet remain in the shadows. Submission should be set up as if part of a Wiki article. Graphics are not required but may be added if you so choose.

This competition will be graded on creativity/originality, spelling and grammar. Even if your front business does not place in the top three, there is still a chance it may be added to Port Ol'val’s wiki page.

Officially called "The Ol'val Herbal Exchange" and affectionately nicknamed "Steep Trouble", this tea shop is subtly tucked away in a quieter corner of Jerem Plaza. The Arconan Adam Bolera serves as proprietor when he visits Ol'val, allowing his droid partner Keeper to tend to customers. The Exchange develops and collects dozens of tea blends from across the galaxy, and claims to hold at least a dozen recipes for any species that walks through the door.

The shop's true, shadowy purpose is trade of information, as well as subtle shipments of small items between Arcona and its allies. Such shipments are often marked by atypical naming schemes, such as nonexistent tea "colors" and flavors arriving at the shop. Tea drinking is obscure enough in galactic popular culture that the shop can get away with the deception technique, provided the trades take place behind closed doors. Arconans fond of tea or caf sometimes slip into the out-of-the-way shop for inconspicuous rendezvous, business related or otherwise.

Solus Memorial Clinic

Located on a side street of the Besadii Entertainment District on the street level of a tenement, the Solus Memorial Clinic is frequented by mercenaries, street thugs and junkies alike. While the clinic does pro bono work, it’s primary clientele come from the Triumvirate gangs when they need to get patched up without arousing suspicion. The clinic is named in honor of Dr. Mordin Solus, a notorious underworld physician. The gangs of the Triumvirate consider the clinic neutral ground, but the clinic keeps a strong security presence just in case.
