Romarr/Spinward Marches                   331-1116
The ruling council of Romarr today authorized Spinward Spice & Spirits, LIC, to export 250 tons of dust-spice without paying the normal duties and tariffs.

This measure, which will allow SSS to undersell its competitors, is likely to save the troubled company from bankruptcy.

A company representative, Captain Mark Spencer, denied charges of corruption or nepotism, stating the a business case for deferred payment of duty had been presented to the Council and accepted by them.

When asked whether he thought the shipments were at risk from ihatei marauders, Captain Spencer replied that SSS would be hiring additional security staff.

Now there's pre-CivilWar ihatei in the 'Marches too!

LBB Sup3 shows 'Romarr' as an Imperial world near the rimward edge of Glisten. It's on the Xboat net & has a Naval base & a Scout one.
