Historic Jin Ship - Huo'zha
It would be reasonable to presume that Huo'zha was named after the traditional Jin Ir-Vothiam position, which translates as, 'held comet', but it was in fact the other way around. The Jin that we know in Starmourn today are all descended from a large alliance known as The Departed, who fled a mad Godking ruling their far-off home system, Ijzala. The Departed seized the Blood Ark - one of the three huge worldships constructed by the Jin at enormous expense to someday carry the over-populated Jin to new systems en masse - as well as a fleet of warships, and they fled the Ijzala system, forever. In 212 A.E. they finally made their way into the Starmourn system for the first time, the Ark and her fleet having wandered the galaxy for around 150 years. This is one of the warships they brought with them - beautifully refurbished and restored (some may say repurposed) to fight another day.
This historic ship is a cruiser with the same spec as previous auction ships (so it will be fair). It comes with 10 thematic rooms with interactive items, and also includes customization options for your other ships.

Ship - The Troublemaker
A badass destroyer with the ability to summon trouble wherever it goes. Can send out a bad luck beacon once every 4 hours to call a random hard incursion to itself. Great stats, basic design (no additional rooms or progged items included so you can redecorate or not, that's up to you!). Built in trouble magnet. Also includes customization options for your other ships."

Starmourn's very first player hab!!!
HABS ARE COMING! Pay upfront to guarantee you get the first one. The entrance to your new home can be located wherever you want, (not on a ship, obvs) and will include up to 10 rooms (depending on lore appropriateness - we can probably work most things, but you can't build a 10 room hab in a hotel room or whatever. Was going to say you can't build a ten room hab off a service tunnel or in the rootsnarl or whatever - but actually those might be pretty cool... like a bunker or a hobbit hole. Not redeemable until December 2021.

Custom design type

You will be able to apply your own designs to a template object, which you can then sell in your shops throughout the sector!

Your very own food truck
Ever coveted Kiru Ano's zippa stand? Ever wanted a noodle stall like that Tukkav dude (or Wes Watanabe, you weirdo) or a sashtar wagon like Norsitya? Here's your chance!

Stock up to 50 of your designs in a food truck, emblazoned with your branding and designed to your specifications! Placeable anywhere that isn't already an NPC shop.

Portable festival rig

AUCTION INFO:
-------------

***HARDCORE PLAYERS*** are not allowed to bid on auctions unless their current character is more than 30 days old. Admin will remove your bid if we see this happening. This is to stop people from dying purposefully to have a big pile of credits to spend. Also... a lot of these things would die with you, so there's probably little point in buying them if you're HC, sadly.

AUCTIONS Lists all auctions you can bid on.
AUCTION INFO <#> Tells you more about that one auction.
BID <#> ON <#> Bid on an item. The amount will instantly be deducted from your account - it is safe!
BID INCREASE <#> on <#> Increases your maximum bid on a specified auction.
(The amount you are increasing is ADDED to your previous bid; it does not replace it.)
AUCTION ESCROW BUILD Calculates the trade-in value of your current artefacts as 'escrow credits'
which you can also use to bid with.
Note: You do not have to bind credits until after the auction is finished, escrow build will
count them).
AUCTION CREDITS Reports on bound credits, and escrow credits.
Note: Escrow credits aren't real credits! They just help you bid on things without having
all the bound credits on hand ahead of time. If you win the auction, you will be expected
to buy credits, or trade in artifacts, or do something to raise your bound credits level to
high enough to resolve the auction.
AUCTION <#> RESOLVE If you have enough bound credits at the time the auction ends, they will automatically come
out of your account. If not, you can use this command to pay once you've realised the amount required.

At the end of the auction, either the credits or marks will be taken away, and the item/artefact/special-prize will be awarded. If you need to get more credits, then it'll all wait till you RESOLVE the auction (see above).

If there were any unused bid monies, you'll get them back at this point.

General Notes
-------------
Bids CANNOT be retracted. You bid, you're stuck. If you're outbid, then and only then do you get your marks/credits/whatever back. PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO YOUR BID SYNTAX. If you enter the wrong amount, you are still responsible for that.

When an auction appears, everyone in the game is notified.

Items won in credit auctions are generally NOT transferrable to anyone else. Bound credits are used for credit auctions, so whatever you win is bound to your character. Artefacts won in marks auctions are similarly non-transferrable. Any other items won in marks auctions where you would need staff intervention to transfer it to someone else should be assumed as non-transferrable unless otherwise noted in the auction description. Items that could be freely transferrable on the promo market may still be considered free to transfer via the promo market.

For more info, see HELP AUCTIONS!

Happy bidding, beautiful spacers!
