Description

First built during the reign of Magestrix Floral Centrella around 2550, Canopian Pleasure Circuses are massive mobile space stations that travel throughout the Inner Sphere and Periphery. Essentially flying casino hotels, they offer food, accommodation and entertainment of every stripe. They are a natural base for the Magistracy Intelligence Ministry (MIM) to operate in and has been instrumental in the effectiveness of the spy network. Their revenue represents a major source of taxes for the Magistracy of Canopus and are thus heavily supported by the state.[1]

Among the thousands of pleasure circuses that exist, it is the policy that only legal and consensual activities are allowed. Whether this is true or not depends on one's faith on human nature.

Armament

Given the business, there are likely minor to moderate defenses for every pleasure circus.
