Like most species in the Federation and beyond, Trill has harnessed the process of fermentation to produce a variety of alcoholic beverages.  Falling into similar categories as Terran beverages, they have fermented a variety of grains to produce a product similar to beer, fermented the juice of a berry known of juilea to produce a vast varieties of drinks similar to Terran wine, and distilled a mixture of grains and spices down into a unique spirit.  This guide includes details on a number of the agricultural products used to produce the drinks, as well as details about the various types of alcohol and their producers.  This guide does not cover every producer or variety of fruit and grain used in the industry and Trill, but does cover a number of the more famous and well known.

While there are exceptions most grains and fruits on Trill have a higher carbohydrate content that their Terran analogues.  Research suggests that this additional, easy access to sugar is what allowed the Host/Symbiont relationship to flourish and support the additional energy needs of the joined pair.  This results in alcohol that either has a higher alcohol content or sweeter depending on where the fermentation process is stopped.

Lightside station orbits a waste land of a planet in the Orstand system. A large station about 10km long, and 3km wide, the station was built as a haven when the planet it circles was dying hundreds of years ago. Built originally as an ark for the planets populace which, through ecological mismanagement, destroyed their own planet. Due to a combination of necessity and a natural inclination of the builders, the station became an economic hub for the region. Over time the population of the Spike diversified with a variety of races moving in. As the years went on the Kalinda slowly moved out of the station and on to their outer colonies. More non Kalinda made the station home, setting up businesses and catering to the merchant population in the region. Repair bays exist for small to medium starships, restaurants, recreation facilities, if there is a market for it, someone on the Spike is willing to offer it.

The Kalinda maintain control of the station as their territory, but operate it as a money making business. Few Kalinda still live on the station that don’t have some commercial interest there or aren’t part of the small Kalinda administration. The population of the station is diverse with Ferengi, Cardassian, Naussican, and other known independent and mercantile races making up a large amount of the populace. There are a number of residents from Federation species that have decided they want a more independent lifestyle outside the confines of Federation Law.

While most of the businesses operating on the Spike are legitimate and above board, it is well known that anything can be bought there, regardless of how legally questionable it might be. Officially the Kalinda administration frowns upon this black market but they don’t seem to take much action to try and root it out.
