* '''The Republic Arms''': Upmarket nightclub that hosts live jazz bands. It has a quiet relaxed feel to it which helps everyone unwind after the stress filled days of Ketar. The floor immediately in front of the low stage is set up as a dance floor which is ringed by tables that separates the floor from the booths along the wall and the bar opposite the stage. There is also a gantry above where there were more tables overlooking the dance floor and stage. | * '''The Republic Arms''': Upmarket nightclub that hosts live jazz bands.

=== Liquor Licensing Laws === | |||
Ketar V licensing laws state that legal drinking age is 18, but a person between the age of 18 and 21 must be accompanied by someone aged 21 or above. If not, the owner or an employee of an establishment that serves alcohol is required to contact the person's parent or legal guardian. Failing that, the establishment is required to contact the CCMS, who will then detain them until they are able to contact a parent or legal guardian. | |||
The law was passed in 2362. In that year, it was found that many shipyard workers aged 18 to 21 were found to have been underpaid by Livernois shipyards, to the tune of 35%. When the shipyards were ordered to pay the workers the correct amount, which included years of back pay to most, it was "party time" on Ketar V for those in that age bracket. The local entertainment industry experienced a surge, and subsequently so did the local law enforcement industry. In a knee jerk reaction, politicians tried to raise the legal drinking age to 21 to combat the "youth led civil disorder". When it became apparent that some of those politicians would face electoral wipe-out if that law was passed, the proposed law was amended to state that anyone aged 18 to 20 Earth years, 364 Earth days had to be accompanied by someone aged 21 Earth years or over. The laws didn’t stop the drunken related trouble. In fact, it made it worse – groups became bigger as they were accompanied by their older friends, which meant more people were getting drunk, which led to more bar brawls, increased hospital emergency department admissions, and the need for more CCMS resources. However, politicians passed a law that gave the '''perception'' that they were doing something to control the "troublesome youth" of the planet, a move which proved popular with older voters in the following election. | |||
The laws were seldom enforced and ignored by most inhabitants of Ketar V.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/tbxLW2RYWv4/m/QG3Vop0qAAAJ ''"Jokers and Queens"''], Lt JG Wil Ukinix & Serran, SD239609.06</ref> | |||
