## Rumors

* I'm not bound by jurisdiction, so if a company puts a contract out on you, I'm going to hunt you down. And when I find you I'm gonna kill you, because that's how I put food on the table for my son.
* I'm a Leedite, born and raised here in Leeds, son of a Uranium miner. Did a turn in prison too, but that's all behind me now. I know where the Jump Holes are in this system. I learned about them in Newgate. You can get to Manchester under wraps in the East Leeds, New London through the West Leeds.
* If you choose the life of a Bounty Hunter, you should know that you'll never win any popularity contests. The crooks hate you cuz you make a living of putting them in the past tense. The police and military envy you because you can take on the jobs they can't always do. The corporations dislike you because you don't follow the rules, and other Bounty Hunters might not like you because you are their competition.
* If I'm hired to pop Gaians, I'll head for the Edinburgh Jump Hole. If the contract reads for Mollys, I'm gonna head for the New London or Manchester Holes -- most likely the New London Hole. That's really where the majority of 'em come from.
* The Edinburgh Jump Hole is a dangerous place to hang out. It's in the LD-14 field, and all manner of thieves and killers pass through that area. Not only that, it is just slightly west of a pocket of radiation in the field, so an inexperienced pilot might get cooked.

* The best way to climb your way out of this dirt hole is to become a pilot. It is possible; I've seen people do it. Slowly they change from creatures into people with enough self-respect to stand up for themselves. That's what happened to me.
* This police post is a new construction designed to monitor this Trade Lane. There have been numerous attacks here by all the resident criminal factions within Bretonia's boundaries.

* This base was built to protect the shipping coming into Leeds on its way to New London. This is the main trade artery between Kusari and Bretonia and is Bowex's bread and butter. If you want to talk about a company with its hands in The Crown's pocket, it's Bowex.
* The East Leeds Smog Cloud is as dangerous a place as any. The Mollys especially like to use it as cover, and so do the Outcasts. Even the Gaians will use the East Leeds to get up into the Stokes Asteroid Field where they hit Planetform shipments moving in and out of Stokes.
* You might hear a lot of talk about the Outcasts and the Gaians, but the highest priority in this system is the Mollys. Sure, the other factions cause trouble, but the Mollys pose the greatest threat to Bretonia.
* Some of the Bretonian Police will eventually join the military. This is good training in that respect. Both institutions are honorable and you do a lot of the same things, though I'd say our job is a bit harder because we are supposed to apprehend criminals where we can. The military doesn't see things quite the same way.
