Alcatraz Depot

Perhaps the most recognizable Rogue base of all (for scoundrels and rapscallions, anyway), Alcatraz has become a welcoming beacon and a safe haven for all the flotsam and jetsam Liberty has to offer.

One of the few Liberty Rogue bases within Liberty proper (most criminals tend to live at the fringes of society in more than one sense), Alcatraz was originally constructed in 715 A.S. as a waystation and resting place for Californian pirates and drug runners headed into New York, as well as a remarkably secure place of refuge for those attempting to evade the long arm of the law. Housed within a hollowed-out ice asteroid deep in the notorious Californian Whitney field (the LPI harbours a whole range of superstitions about the cloud, since pirates that manage to enter even the outskirts of Whitney almost always manage to slip away), Alcatraz had always maintained a colourful assortment of patrons and population. The lively if somewhat chilly bar pours a mind-boggling assortment of Liberty's best drinks, and the local bartender is rumoured to be one of Sirius' most well-informed, and for the right price, he can put in a good word for even the most despised foe with Liberty's criminal triad.

Said triad is well-represented here, with Outcast cardamine smugglers abound in the system and a sizeable percentage of the orange dreamers frequent Alcatraz for a Sidewinder Fang and the latest news from around the area. Alcatraz's version of the Colony News Service has a direct port to the Newark Station feed, which was a gift from a particularly technically-minded Lane Hacker that happened through the area one day, and is as such a popular source of amusement and first-rate information. Lane Hackers from Magellan drink their fair share here, as well, and even Corsairs have been known to dock here once or twice, although they never stay onboard long due to the amount of Outcasts and Lane Hackers around. The omnipresent Liberty Rogues that run the show here maintain a solid background core, keeping a watchful eye over proceedings and moving quickly to quell any potential fights before they start.

Alcatraz might be best compared to an unlawful Freeport of sorts, since if you're not a Xeno, you're welcome here to drink, deal or simply kick back after a long, hard day busting Universal Shipping open. Be warned though, the no-blaster rule is strictly enforced.
