Founded in December 2627 by former cage-fighter Yannis Christensen, the Rabbit’s Hole (“RH”) was a budget shelter for the Entertainment District — a place to crash in an armchair or on a thin mattress when pockets were light and the Dark Side cold could kill. Rumors long held that Yannis fronted for “the Cartel,” whose aim was to sweep unconscious drunks and broke gamblers off the streets. After early complaints and an intervention by the Settler’s Council in New Kourou, district venues adopted the “5-K Rule”: before placing any bet, patrons must prove they still hold 5 K — the cost of an 8-hour armchair slot at RH.

• Construction Materials: Volcanic stone walls faced with salvaged ship plate; timber joists; scrap-alloy doors.

• Rest Room: AuroraSan latrine stalls and a cold wash-basin; no showers.

Sour sweat, torches guttering, and the warm-metal hiss of the reception lamps. Snores, mutters, and the occasional boot scuffle roll through the dark as bodies steam off a night of Space Beer and bad luck. The counter light is merciless: ink-stained ledger, chipped tin for coins, and a hand-painted sign — “5 K or the street.” No frills, no questions, just eight hours between you and the frost.

• Adventure Hook — The Blanket Knife: A patron wakes bleeding from a shallow cut — their belt-pouch is gone, along with three others’ coin. The Zark bouncer swears it’s an inside job and slams the doors. PCs must quietly trace ticket swaps, torch-dark corners, and the cleaner’s sweep pattern before the alleged “Cartel alarm” brings in outside muscle that will make the problem — and witnesses — disappear.
