Species

''Soomi's Dive served everything and anyone. In truth it was a delicate little operation, managing the different stocks of narcotics, alcohols, hallucinogens to satisfy its diverse and demanding clientele. Soomi herself often marveled at how some drinks seemed to worked no matter the species, like Orvaq Vodka. Others were fatal to most forms of life, and had to be handled with the upmost care. Not that the patrons ever noticed. They came, they drank, they waited for their ship to be refueled, and they left. The science behind their intoxication was irrelevant to them, the labyrinth of supply lost on them. The only thing they cared about was the price and the potency. A fleeting buzz, a warm feeling, a loosening of the tongue, a rush of courage and a dulling of the senses, these things united all forms of sentient life, or so it seemed to Soomi. In fact, the uniting lust for intoxication was a source of great comfort to Soomi. Whatever their number of limbs, eyes, teeth or toes, all could find fleeting relief in Soomi's Dive.''
