History and background

Native Edshamites have a relaxed view toward the use of alcohol and recreational drugs. This world is one of several cited as the home of the notorious "Scouts Brew".

The complete lack of regulation means there are areas of the city near the Scout base that are off-limits to serving personnel. There are reports of civilian off-worlders, visiting these areas, mistaken for Scouts by the base's shore patrols and roughly incarcerated. Travellers are advised to keep their identification ready to hand.
