History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The scene of some of the most flagrant contraband and arms dealing in recent years, Uushar is a first-class example of the "anything for the right price" principle. Uushar, like all worlds offering these services, attracts more than its fair share of low-lives. Representatives from more than one organization under investigation for major criminal activities move through here regularly or have settled in.
