You'd have to be pretty good reading between the lines to get a good idea if someone is hiding something, or just not knowing something. Me, I am better reading machines than people, I'm afraid."<br/><br/>A gulp of beer later he refills his glass and those of the other beer-drinkers around the table. "I also don't really leave Demawand, and the Vandorian nobility doesn't often pay a visit to this lovely little backwater. Once in a while we see an exec from Crown Star, but that's about it, and those folks don't really mingle with us commoners."<br/><br/>Crown Star, he explains, is the largest Vandorian corporation (you've seen the logo next to the Hoop Barn's door). They manufacture mostly consumer goods, from video monitors and communicators to droids and landspeeders. The companies headquarters (and most of their plants) are on Almaraz. Ownership of the company is completely in the hands of the Vandorian nobility and perhaps their largest source of income. Shares in Crown Star are handed out by the royal family of Vandor to the lower levels of nobility like land is in some more primitive cultures. Most nobles don't take a direct hand in company affairs, but they still get a share of the profits, according to their share in the company.<br/><br/>"Of course, if you really want to ask one of those nobles what they know you might as well just go to Vandor, what with Vandor being the capital world and all that. Or maybe Tovar. That's where I hear many of the younger nobles hang out. Lots of resorts and entertainment for the rich and shameless there. Not that they'll be all that willing to deal with non-humans, I guess."<br/><br/>He runs his eyes from face to face – and plate to plate. "Lets finish our drinks and go somewhere a little more private. Your ship perhaps, captain?" he asks with a glance at Anya. "There's something I'd like to discuss with you all in private, but if there's anything else you lot want to know, just shoot."
