The Rusty Welcome
A welded-together tavern serving rotgut, spore spirits, and whatever the kitchen scavenged this week. The chairs don't match, the drinks are strong, and everyone with a working ship is welcome at the table.

Lore
The Rusty Welcome was built from three mismatched cargo containers and whatever the Patchwork's engineers weren't using that week, and it shows — the bar itself is a converted fuel tank, and the tables are a mix of salvage and pure improvisation. Frontier Rotgut and Spore Spirits are poured in equal measure, both distilled a few decks over and never quite the same batch twice. What keeps the place running isn't the drinks, though — it's the card tables in the back, where captains, mechanics, and the occasional visiting trader settle debts, trade rumors, and lose ships they shouldn't have bet. The Frontier Council has no jurisdiction here in any meaningful sense. Nobody's asked them to have one.
