History
Founding
The station officially opened to the public on Year 22 Day 225. The station was purported to be independently run by the local Issor Chamber of Commerce, with security being provided both in-house and guaranteed by The Resistance, although sceptics have questioned the level of involvement of the latter.
Consequences
Prior to the formation of the Galactic Bazaar, the Issor system was largely regarded as a backwater. Taxes gained from sales aboard the station have since been used to improve local infrastructure and support a number of grassroots initiatives. Passing trade has strengthened local hyperlane networks and helped to transform the former backwater into a thriving commercial hub.
Security Concerns
The Bazaar celebrated it's first anniversary in Year 23 by hosting a grand ball aboard the station. During the event, a press conference was held by Resistance Major General Eli Descartes who announced an additional security package consisting of various technologies and non-lethal weapons.
When pressed, Descartes revealed that the in-house security had thwarted an attempted attack on the station with the aid of intelligence provided by The Resistance, although little additional detail was provided.
Amenities
As well as the typical amenities found aboard such a station, The Galactic Bazaar is home to a Cantina, Museum, and Art Gallery
Trade and Commerce
As of Year 24 Day 12, there are nineteen active vendors within the station halls.
