 ''Tansad Beach'' has 15 levels of designated open trading space. Spacers often buy floor space in one of the large open bazaars located on each of these levels, and sell their cargoes directly from the floor. Other merchants use teh bazaars to sell [[droids]], illegal ship parts and weapons, food, and so on. The infamous Level 12, the meat market, is a level many spacers avoid.
+===The Slavers Market===
+There aren't many smugglers who feel comfortable dealing in slaves, but those who do have to buy and sell them somewhere. Shadowports are the ''de facto'' places to make these transactions, and the ''Beach'' is no exception. Level 12 is devoted entirely to the buying and selling of slaves. While most of the slaves brought to the ''Beach'' are aliens, humanoid and near-humans have also been seen leaving. It's a good idea not to lose your last credit while on the ''Beach.''
+===Kail's===
+Kail's specializes in extensive redesign of existing starship systems of all sorts. It fills the largest repair bay in the entire space station. This is where [[Kail]] works his miracles. People whisper the old man has a pipeline into some of the [[Par'tha Expanse|Expanse's]] and [[Valcarian Imperial Republic|Empire's]] top R&D labs. This may or may not be true, but Kail's work is definitely first rate, and some of his improvements border on genius.
+There have been plenty of attempts to work Kail out of his prime spot, both financially and criminal, but those stupid enough to lean on cheerful old Kail don't quite realize what they're taking on â�?��?? Kail is the man who procured and installed ''Tansad Beach's'' armaments, and as far as [[Khazam]] is concerned, anyone messing with Kail is messing with ''him''. Not that Kail has trouble justifying this use of the bay â�?��?? he usually has a list of ships waiting to put in for repairs several months long.
+===Uljin's Trifles===
+Uljin has a small stand just inside the main intercourse on Level 2, where he sells flowers he grows himself in a small hydroponic garden in his quarters. Uljin makes a nice enough living as a florist, actually. People who spend weeks at a time shut up with nothing to look at besides blackened rock and old bulkheads are drawn irresistibly to the bright and colorful plants which remind them of bright sunny days on their homeworld, or dark, methane fog-banked ones, as the case may be. Even hardened pirates with the death sentence in a dozen systems have been seen creeping away from his stand cupping a small delicate flower in their thick, calloused fingers, glaring wildly about as if to dare passers-by to comment.
+But as lucrative as the flower business is, Uljin's real line of work is somewhat different â�?��?? he's the local infochant (information merchant) and newsnet code dealer. If something remotely interesting is going down anywhere within light years, Uljin is sure to know of it. He seems to know the business of everyone visiting ''Tansad Beach'', and for the right price, will match buyers with sellers, and vice versa.
+He charges top credit for his codes, since he has to have a private courier [[Droids|droid]] run the public network feeds out from [[Lagor Ciro]] (regular distributors do not service the station). He will warn customers that as far as they are from the core of civilized space, news will be days or weeks old by the time they get it. He has access codes for the Fringer's Infonet, but will only sell them to smugglers who come recommended by current members.
