Tuna Prime Exchange.

The Posting

Life at the dock.

Tuna Prime is where the company keeps its appetite. The oldest station on the network is a ring of orbital aquaculture spheres, cold vaults, and auction floors in high Earth orbit, and it produces nothing at all. It does not need to. Everything good eventually comes here, because this is where the prices are discovered and the invoices are notarized.

The exchange floor runs on the five minute tick like everything else, and the spot board above the auction hall is visible from an approaching bridge at forty kilometers. Freight inbound to Tuna Prime is never wasted freight. The station eats more standard ration than any two other facilities combined, and the Auditor's office on Deck 9 has never once been late with a settlement.

House rules are posted at every airlock and enforced with perfect courtesy. No open flames, no unbonded cargo, and no cucumbers. Do not ask about the cucumbers. The placard is considered explanation enough.
