Lurin eyes the Romulan market as his profit windfall, a shadowy trading hub where he plans to offload the captured Enterprise to Romulan buyers.

Haggling echoes through narrow alleys thick with suspicion, plasma fumes, and the metallic tang of illicit deals. Guards patrol edges, enforcing secrecy while deals like ship sales unfold in back corners, drawing pirates and spies into high-stakes exchanges.
