-Opened in February 2626 by [[Space Drinks Inc.|Space Drinks Inc.]], the Space Market became the settlement’s first purpose-built liquor store — ending months of dubious home-brew and potato-still hangovers. Stocking Space Beer and an ever-growing line of “orbital spirits,” the shop quickly supplied ≈ 80 % of all alcohol consumed in New Kourou and shipped casks to [[Hope|Hope]], [[Morningstar|Morningstar]], and even distant [[Firetown|Firetown]].

-Though a retail outlet by day, every Friday 8 PM – 11 PM the sales floor transformed into a pop-up bar dubbed Space Friday: collapsible tables emerged from storage, a [[butler_bots|Butler Bot]] mixed discount cocktails, and local musicians filled the aisles with frontier jazz—turning grocery run into social ritual.

 The story ended on 8 April 2631, when the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]] dissolved the [[free_state_of_settlers|Free State of Settlers]]. All private corporations were nationalised, alcohol consumption was capped at one drink per guest per visit, and each settlement was limited to a single, state-run [[federal_hostel_saloon|Federal Hostel & Saloon]]. Feder-engineers judged the ageing Space Market structure unsafe; it was torn down rather than repurposed, leaving only foundations where New Kourou’s boisterous Fridays once echoed.

 ===== Look and Feel =====
-Metallic walls shimmer under soft blue strip-lights; bottle glass refracts color onto the deck. A perpetual whiff of malt, citrus, and cleaning solvent hangs in the cool, recycled air. During Space Fridays the hum of refrigeration gives way to laughter, clinking bottles, and upbeat string solos as Butler Bots pivot from cashiers to shakers.
