Starbreak Cove

The Cove is a neutral trading and governmental spaceport. Built by the itnergalatic trading guild (ITG), it serves mainly as a place of negotiation for business, sharing of goods. It started solely as a trade port for merchants, but has grown into a destination for interaglatic travel, entertainment and shopping,mostly serving the wealthy elites of each species.
Government authorities began to see the benefits of having and establishing diplomatic corps on the Cove. After years of negotiation with the ITG, a diplomatic wing was established, with strict rules. No combat is permitted, and if species declare war on each other, the governments must vacate the Cove. The guild agreed to this not for altruistic purposes, but to maintain strong trade agreements and to work outside of politics. The ITG agrees that conflict is bad for business, and hopes that a neutral and regular place for discussion would lead to less conflict.
The Cove is new, only five years old, built after the war with the Tolana and Rhonian. The Solis helped push the initiative, in part absolving guilt they felt for their role in helping the Tolana, and in part in an effort to restart their damaged trading efforts. The Rhonaians, devastated by the war, needed to start trade negotiations again to stand any chance of restarting their economy. They mined har minerals on their planet, hired out security units, and used their blacksmith skills to sell repairs.
The Cove is the only place in the three galaxies where there is interspecies mixing, although it is mostly limited to work. Int he after-hours, some species will congregate together in different areas. There is some interspecies mixing during after-hours, but it can still be challenging for species to openly congregate together. The wealthy elite that visit frown upon it, and anything that causes conflict is quickly shut down by the ruthless Cove security force.
