+//A quatro of container habitats from the sidelines of the [[Rigel]] [[Battle Arena]], joined by a cleverly disguised [[commonwealth slums]] station at the bottom.//
+Container habitats are small slummy stations found in the poor areas of the Commonwealth. If you donate items they like, they'll reward you with some location-dependent rumors or a pointer that may be useful. They have no random name scheme and are always labled as "Container Habitat".
+===== Donation Information =====

+^ Criteria ^ Item value per Donation Point ^
+| "* + Meds;" | 50 |

+===== Rumors =====
+The rumors given by the container habitat are mostly flavorful minor tips about early encounters and situations.
+==== Starton Eridani ====
+  * "Watch out for Arco Vaughn. He is the most dangerous Centauri warlord; his heavy raider is protected against lasers and recoilless cannons. Avoid him if you want to live."
+  * "Arco Vaughn flies an enhanced heavy raider. His armor is protected against normal weapons; you'll need missiles to kill him."
+  * "Raisu Station is in trouble. The Centauri warlords have taken it over; don't go there unless you are armed and ready."
+  * "If you want to find Arco Vaughn, go to Raisu Station. Talk to the station master there. She will help you."
+  * "The Centauri warlords have many bases among the outer asteroids of Eridani; but if you go there, watch out: Arco Vaughn is there too."
+====Rigel Aurelius====
+  * "The Slicer is the champion of the Arena! No one has been able to defeat him."
+  * "I don't watch the Arena games anymore; the Black Market has totally infiltrated the show and all the fights are rigged now."
+  * "I remember watching Kate Morgental fight in the Arena. She put on a great show! I don't know what happened to her; probably working for her father now."
+  * "Let me tell you a secret about fighting in the Arena: load up with missiles. Who cares about beams and whatnot; a good missile will cut through armor like a knife through Salmonite!"
+====Everywhere Else====
+  * "The Charon pirates are a menace. They have bases in almost every system and they prey on defenseless freighters."
+  * "If you need a contact in the Black Market find the Aleksany brothers; they're always doing business in some fancy hotel."
+  * "The anarchists don't bother us, but they really annoy the Corporations: they're always stealing their fancy ROMs."
+  * "Stay away from the Abbasid fortresses. Those fanatics will shoot you rather than let you get close."
+  * "The Urak warlords are another nutty group, but their armor and weapons are pretty good."
+  * "Hiro is the best hacker in the 'verse. He's created some fancy ROMs that even the cyber corporations can't figure out."
+=====Help=====
+When the habitat likes you more, they'll offer more specific help. Depending on what stations are in the system, this can include:
+^ Option text ^ Points Required ^ Other Requirements ^ Result ^
+|**I need better equipment.** | 5 | //none// | Information about a random item you can loot or buy and a pointer to its location. |
+|**Where are the Centauri warlords?** | 10 | still in Eridani | Pointer to Centauri base if live one available |
+|**Where is Arco Vaughn?** | 20 | still in Eridani, Arco alive | Pointer to Arco's location |
+|**Is there a Korolov station nearby?**| 5 | not in Eridani and system level <= 3 | Pointer to Korolov's location, if it exists |
