CHANNAIN-I just made up the story elements as I went. Figured story would kind of write itself if given a basic structure. However, Hara is not a core planet. But it does have strategic value to Alliance commerce. Acts as a way-point between core planets and outer rim worlds. Moderate industry. Some small shipyards for repairwork, upgrades, and overhauls. Shopping centers, tourism of war sites. Some farming and lumber work. Has more alliance patrols lately due to Reaver attacks infringing upon shipping lanes. These are just some general concepts. Also has a thriving black market underground economy run predominately by former Independent Browncoats. Perhaps Rowan and Thorne know of other local nuances that will be revealed later?
Well, I see you've been to Hara before. Got it first time. You'll also remember that despite the strong Alliance presence, there is no love lost between the purple-bellies and the locals, who remember the atrocities during the war, ending with the carpet-bombing of the Serenity Valley. It's still a lifeless wasteland after several years.
Family ties are very important, and even distant relations can expect help and support. Local police are "realistic" about the unauthorized trade which takes place (probably because it likely involves a relative or two), but are otherwise generally honest.
As usual outside the Core, most everyone is armed. Usually pretty peaceful, though. If you shoot another local without a darn good reason, their family will be in touch.

Great post CapnRahn!!! I will make my post later tonight .... in a few hours ... as I am gettin' loaded and I can't think straight. Soon enough that danm Niska will be spillin' his stinkin guts.... you wanna take the lead on the interrogation while I'm gone or wait for me? either way I am good. I will presume that Book helps Simon up, and asks what he did, but I can't think further right now.

CHANNAIN-You're welcome. Hope the info was helpful. There are no small parts. It's entirely what you guys make of it. I personally think that we don't need to go entirely off of series eps. Kind of fun to make up new characters and adventures of our own. I think we've really lucked out and found a good group of writers that think creatively, and at times,on their feet as well. Hope you enjoy the RPing. (P.S.:Checked out your art site. You should post your work on Image Gallery for this site. My fave is The Muse. Reminds me of Inara. Beautiful work.)

GEEZER-Yeah, I like the idea of shady cops. Was playing with the idea of a local Maffia. Then thought Maffia would be good story for later RP. I like your ideas pertaining to the local's eye for an eye philosophy. Wonder if the Shepherd could be used in this regard? Perhaps Serenity could also smuggle some Tequilla as well as weapons? I look forward to seeing what you do with Thorne character.

If there were a Firefly Bible on the Internet, I think we'd've found it by now.
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=16&t=1882
That was a recent thread where people tried to find it but the thread deteriorated into people talking about the King James Bible and whether or not the translation is dependable.. or something. And talk about the Star Trek bible. I have a copy of the first season for STNG. It didn't even mention Worf yet. Still have it around here somewhere. It's probably keeping an end table steady or something.
But I don't think the Firefly Bible was ever made publically available. So we might have to make our own.
I am working on a character rundown for Inara. Should I post it in here or start a new thread?
