Very Fine TSR 3579 "Belters. The wild, wooly frontiersmen (and women) of space in the twenty-fifth century are alive and well in the asteroid belt.
Listen to what an anonymous longshoreman from Juno has to say about life out on the edge.
'It takes a special kind of individual to carve out a life here in this ring of rocks, an individual who knows what's important in life and is willing to work for it.
Not that everything here is uncivilized, oh no. Ceres is the seat of government and civilization for the entire Belt; For-tuna is known far and wide for the medical research conducted in its zero-gee labs. You want wild? Head for the casinos of Aurora, or better-yet to Interamnia —that's where the real wildlife is!
There's fortunes aplenty to be made out here, what with the shipping trade on Hygeia (that's where they make the bottles, you know?) and here on Juno, and the mining on Davida. I hear it's best to keep away from Pallas and Thule, though—of course, no one goes to Thule voluntarily anyway.
Then there's the RAM base on Vesta. Only place I know of where the locals aren't upset with folks coming and going, ordering them around... but then, I've never been there myself. Hearsay, y'know?'
Think you'd like to visit these space rocks? Read the information in this guidebook before you make your final decision, friend; sometimes it's easier to get there than to get home again."
