Socorro… Land of black sands, old values, and deep honor.

If your a smuggler or pirate looking for the cargo that’ll make you rich, or just looking for contacts. Socorro is the place to be. Local manufacturers, and various ‘endeavors’ have just what you need to get back on your feet. From blasters to Raava, you can find almost anything available here. And if your lucky, good, or found worthy… maybe, just maybe… the Black Bha’lir will accept you into their ranks…

Note to Bounty Hunters: Bounty hunting is considered to be one of the single lowest professions available, the only one considered lower is being a slaver. Bounty hunters are ridiculed, vilified, and hated by the inhabitants of Socorro. Those hunters which do choose to set down on Socorro will most likely be taxed to bankruptcy on a planet without taxes. Not to mention any attempt to capture another on Socorro will likely bring the wrath of hundreds of smugglers and pirates down on your head… be warned.
