====== SALVAGE SPACE: SALVAGE ====== Many star systems across Alliance space provide breaker yards, scrapping, and salvaging from starships, space stations, and colony modules. The xeno-archeological starship graveyards in the [[Niecti]] star system provided ample reason to quickly establish breaker yards in such a new and remote system. Adventurers may find many opportunities to hire onto or mount their own xeno-archeological salvage expeditions, asking themselves, //"Why just take a few treasures and trinkets from a derelict, when you can take the whole thing?"// Due to a number of unfortunate salvage operations failing in the past, the Alliance Navy and Alliance Xeno-Archeological Agency (AXAA) strictly license and monitor salvage operations and the breaker yards which support them. Inspection and licensing promotes safety and security protocols which enables accredited scientific evaluations of finds during the breakdown. Spacers frequently whisper rumors of illegal salvage operations in dockside bars, allegedly funded by wealthy patrons and corporations willing to bend or outright break Alliance laws and regulations. The quietist of whispers claim entire illegal breaker yards exist, such as mobile spacecraft specially outfitted for illicit salvage and recovery. ▲ [[:Chronology:]] ~~DISCUSSION~~
