-Algol's is a relatively new import store opened up by [[characters:algol marida]], a relatively unknown immigrant of an [[species:iromakuanhe|unknown race]] who successfully completed his citizenship months before the store opened. Very little is known about the roguishly handsome and somewhat dishonest character who owns the store and loft complex stacked over it, other than that he paid entirely in precious gems and hard cash and subsequently opened his bank accounts on-world.+Algol's is a relatively new import store opened up by [[characters:independent:algol_marida]], a relatively unknown immigrant of an [[species:iromakuanhe|unknown race]] who successfully completed his citizenship months before the store opened.

 The store turned out to make a decent profit over the course of the next few months, selling high-class luxury items to marines coming off the post-mission high such as Elysian firearms, Lorath consumables and Freeespacer VR experiences. In order to avoid being pursued by the authorities for his moonlighting and justify the reason why about an eighth of the apartments were permanently vacant, Algol's quickly became licensed as a pawn shop and brothel, subsequently tripling its profit margin and doubling its infamy((Nepleslians don't really consider brothels to be all that bad, but Pawn Shop brokers are seen as sharks.)). The store turned out to make a decent profit over the course of the next few months, selling high-class luxury items to marines coming off the post-mission high such as Elysian firearms, Lorath consumables and Freeespacer VR experiences.

 Algol's Incredibly Legitimate Import Emporium reflects the slightly tastes of its owner, with rich (fake) mahogany floors and elegant (fake) crowning and detailing around the walls and ceiling arches. The space is strewn with pillows, rugs and curtains which give it an unusual atmosphere, with [[wP>hookah|water pipes]] set around the corners and various incenses and scented oils burning.  Algol's Incredibly Legitimate Import Emporium reflects the slightly tastes of its owner, with rich (fake) mahogany floors and elegant (fake) crowning and detailing around the walls and ceiling arches.

-There are display cases and racks around showcasing various imported good such as wines, spices, kitchenwares and exotic foodstuffs. While weapons sold in the store, they are not displayed publicly and are kept in the warehouse section of the store. At any given moment, there will usually be an attendant at the desk, either [[characters:Algol Marida|Algol]] himself, his [[species:helashio]] daughter or one of several [[faction:nepleslia:robots:yorna]] and [[faction:lorath:technology:silver_android|SILVER]] he keeps around to keep his running costs low.+There are display cases and racks around showcasing various imported good such as wines, spices, kitchenwares and exotic foodstuffs.

 The back of the store section opens up to a large warehouse with several robot arms lifting and stacking various containers on semi-magnetized holding racks, which still carries the gritty aesthetic of the previous owner. Most of this area is filled with these storage racks, and has not been extensively refurbished, with only the far left of the area altered and modified up to contain his pawnbroker office and auction stage. The office consists of a reinforced room (once the welding room for the factory), with holding racks and safes effectively lining the walls, with Algol's other daughter and chief appraiser behind the desk. Although some marines do sell their belonging at the front store for quick cash, most would rather go through the back where they can get a fair deal for their belongings. The auction stage consists of a few raised (fake) wooden platforms and splotlights, and enough room for a few dozen fold-out chairs. The back of the store section opens up to a large warehouse with several robot arms lifting and stacking various containers on semi-magnetized holding racks, which still carries the gritty aesthetic of the previous owner.
