Thesys is a small planet which became something of a haven for criminals, pirates, murderers, and all forms of life that are not tolerated in other parts of the universe.
There are no laws, there are no protecting forces, and pretty much anything goes whether it be drugs, gambling, prostitution, death matches, and so on. It is, however the best place to hide, as no one asks who you are, where you've been, or what you've done. Those of Thesys guard their own, as they have their own secrets to be keeping as well.
The only form of government goes by the name of The Matron. She makes no laws, but she protects Thesys from all the other organizations who would like to clean up the crime hole by way of a loophole in the Triadic code. The Matron is the host body for the last surviving natural born Thesysian, a small parasitic like creature. With careful arguments, and the assassination of most visiting lawyers, the Matron successfully sealed a sort of sanctuary for Thesys, which would remain unbroken so long as she and the last living Thesysian stayed on the planet. Although not an official governing force, what the Matron says, usually goes, and some have said she makes the occasional visit in the night to those who would stand against her, and slits their throats.
For the most part, the Matron remains hidden away from people, the list to see her running months long. It is possible to get in to visit with The Matron, though, on account that the visitor hands over a rare or interesting book that isn't already in the Matron's extensive collection.

Ghost's escape pod goes speeding towards the planet. Reverse thrusters go off automatically once the pod gets into the atmosphere. Ghost gets thrown around as the decent quickly slows down and the pod gently lands on the surface. Happy to be free of space Ghost quickly slips out landing on his back with a smile on his face. "yay ground..."

The Toolness Ghost's escape pod goes speeding towards the planet. Reverse thrusters go off automatically once the pod gets into the atmosphere. Ghost gets thrown around as the decent quickly slows down and the pod gently lands on the surface. Happy to be free of space Ghost quickly slips out landing on his back with a smile on his face. "yay ground..." The surface of Thesys was filled with other ships, buildings, floating platforms, layers and layers of city. The true wilds of Thesys had long since died out, though there were a couple close moons holding forests and other forms of nature, but Thesys itself had been built into a mob ridden, maze-like, rat hole. A tough looking man glanced in ghosts direction. "This ground is owned, you haveta pay a fee to land here, buddy."

The man walked over to the ship and hit its side, before nodding. "Deal. We'll take this beauty off your hands. I'd get the hell out of here before we decide to take somethin' else."
As Ghost walked, the general crowd seemed to stay the same. They were a group of rough people, pickpockets, criminals, and general dissaray.
There was, however, a pretty looking woman with rust colored braids, arguing with a man at a stall, her silver-lilac eyes flaring in anger.

"These are quality drugs lady. I can't give you a refund just because it wasn't what you were expecting. But if you can describe to me what kind of high you'd like, I'm sure I have something that you can purchase that will help you achieve that feeling." The man crossed his arms and waited for a response.

"Is there a problem here, people?" A middle-aged Hispanic woman towing a very quiet 10-year old boy interrupted the woman and shopkeeper. "Good afternoon, miss. I'm Theresa Santini, customer service in these parts... and bouncer, if it comes to that." The woman smiled politely, but there was something shark-like in her eyes, just as in those of everyone of this planet.

The man crossed his arms and waited for a response. (Rofls...you crack me up) "For the last time!" Pen yelled out in an exasperated sigh. "I don't want drugs, I want directions. Di-rec-tions!" Pen glanced briefly at Santini, "yes, there is a problem. I just need to find the closest inn."

In fact, my boy and I will lead you right there, missy, just you stick with me." She winked and started walking down the street, passing Ghost, and obviously expecting Pen to follow.

Ghost, hands in his pockets bumps into the hispanic woman. A hand going through his pocket and into a pocket over hers then pulls back to his own pocket taking anything that might be there with his hand. he keeps going hoping she would let him running into her go and not make a scene out of it.

Pendari followed after the hispanic woman. She noted Ghost bump into the woman, but payed little attention. "You're a Thesys resident, I take it?" She asked, trying to make something of small talk as they walked.

"No don't think so." Ghost keeps walking and working to ignore any further attempts by Larry to get him to spend money he doesn't have on whatever Larry sells.

And he really didn't have money, because any savvy Thesys native will never leave anything in her pockets.
"Sure," she answered Pen. "And here's my boy Antonio, along for 'Career Day.' She shot Pen another grin. "You know schools these days, they all want to be lazy and convince your kid to apprentice to you instead of finding him a place themselves." They turned a corner. "So, I take it you're very much not?"
