The Maldovarium

The Maldovarium Trading Post, better known as the Maldovarium and also known as the Maldovar Market and Maldovar's, was a market settlement in the 52nd century. It was located beneath a space-time rift, known as Geryon's Eye, and atop a planetoid.

Dorium Maldovar established the Maldovarium after the War Doctor suggested that he open a bar and serve banana daiquris.
