Stepping into the familiarity of the spaceport, Rafe spent a moment scanning the almost empty area, just another sign this way station was remote and not on any major trade routes, not any more.
Usually, the outer rim of the space station was always the busiest, as all the docking arms spilled into this general area. Only two dozen or so ships were docked, a tiny amount considering the available berths. The loss of the Lhavva galaxy when the star went super nova killed most of the business coming to Triple Cock - Rafe's nickname for the place.
Still, a lack of ships didn't mean the place was entirely empty. By some standards, it could even be considered busy - if you'd been raised in a small village, in a remote area. Various small groups of entities moved about, along with small lift vehicles carrying pallets and, in some cases, passengers who found too much walking a chore.
