The Bounty Hunter Guild's Branch within the Starfort Lycurgos was a relatively small building, but that was enough, as it was mostly empty. Aside from a few people, mainly Asuryans that were present, there was literally no one.
The building itself looked very simplistic, even inside, as the design was heavily utilitarian, focusing more on practicality than for anything else.
The Bounty Hunters and Star rcenaries didn't really have a lot of missions within the Imperial Territories and only a few of the Asuryani people decided to work as the Bounty Hunters or Star rcenaries.
Most retired soldiers who didn't wish to really retire and wanted to make so money for themselves went to work as the Bounty Hunters and Star rcenaries, who were afterward typically affiliated to the Imperium in so way.
Most of them afterward served as spies and informators of the Eternal Imperium of Asurya.
Deciding not to waste any more ti, he went to the receptionist, who was a middle-aged man with short black hair and beard, and sharp yellow eyes. The man was reading sothing through holographic projection on the Imperial Netsphere or Extranect; Arcturus didn't really know which one.
And because this place was mostly empty, there wasn't really anything to do aside from finding sothing to keep himself entertained.
Arcturus went to the counter as he tapped several tis on the deck as the receptionist canceled the holograph and turned his attention to him.
"What can the Bounty Hunter Guild do for you today?"
The receptionist asked as he took a glance at Arcturus, who was mostly looking around the building for the ti being. There were not many people who were coming to the Branches within the territory of the Eternal Imperium of Asurya...
"Register and also submit two bounties on the space pirate crew."
The man behind the counter nodded and passed him a similar datapad, which he filled and was registered within the Bounty Hunter Guild as Bounty Hunter. Not only that but due to their close relationship, he was also registered within the Star rcenary Association as the Star rcenary.
Both the Star rcenary Association and Bounty Hunter Guild were closely tied to each other, so Arcturus applied for mbership of the Star rcenary Association right here, from the Branch of the Bounty Hunter Guild.
Soon enough, his Neural Extranet Terminal Gene Implants showed him the Bounty Hunter ID.

After the initial registration was done, he could take the mission directly from the Extranet or Imperial Netsphere through his NETGI. After that, he submitted the two Bounties for the two space pirate crews that he destroyed and received altogether 80,000 Universal Credits for both of them.
It was even higher than he had initially anticipated, which made his mood very good. Now, the only thing that he needed to do was to sell the things that he robbed from the space pirates.
And because he was within the Eternal Imperium of Asurya, nobody really cared that he was legally going to sell things and goods that were robbed from several Type 1 or even Type 2 Civilizations and space-faring nations.
For the ti being, he would remain at the Lycurgos Starfort, as he had enough Universal Credits to stay in the Lycurgos Starfort for a long ti. Even though dwelling in the Starfort was relatively expensive, it would take Acturus a few days to arrive at the nearest habitable planet.
As he learned from Colonel Ruford and from the information obtained, Rylon Star System was on the frontiers against Arachnid Swarm. Within the Androda Galaxy, they were located in the North-West Quadrant of the Androda Galaxy, in the Unknown Regions of Space.
Galaxies were also ever-expanding, and they were too expanding at a slow rate.
Arachnids were constantly attacking the borders of the Eternal Imperium of Asurya from the fringes of the unknown regions of the Androda Galaxy; that was also the reason why they were Imperials stationed here the Ramiel-Class Starfort.
The closest habitable world was a good few Star Systems away from the Rylon Star System, which was the closest world of the Imperium, which was naturally a Fortress World, like any other world of the Imperium.
Even this system, which served no different purpose than defending the borders of the Imperium and Imperial Space, was defended to the extre, and aside from the Starfort, there was an entire Star Fleet of the Imperium stationed here.
Together with various interplanetary-based weapons and defensive asures, including the Star Defense Grid.

Slowly, after finishing so minor details, he left the branch of the Bounty Hunter Guild; he decided to go sell the things obtained from the space pirate crews that perished at his hands not long ago.
"Alice, where is the best place to sell the things from the pirates on the Lycurgos?"
As he left the Branch of the Bounty Hunter Guild, he spoke to Red Queen Alice, who was hidden within his Neural Extranet Terminal Gene Implants.
"Making a list of the Corporations that are dealing in business like this... wait for several seconds... I would recomnd going to the Starlight Drive Yard Industries. It is partially owned by the state, so certainly, as Highborne Asuryani, you will get a very good price. Not to ntion, they are also one of the biggest producers of the Spaceships and Droids in the Androda Galaxy."
Soon enough, he got his answer as he walked in the direction of the branch of the Starlight Drive Yard Industries that was at the Lycurgos Starfort. Many major trading companies and corporations of Imperial origins had their branches even at the Starforts of the Imperium.
Reason for that?
Profit, they could make a lot of money by providing their services to the Military directly on the Starforts, because each of the Starforts in the Imperial Military served aside from being a Military Fortress as an enormous trading hub.
