THE ZOCALO
The Zocalo is a teeming marketplace set at the heart of Babylon 5. Stall holders and shopkeepers ply their trade to thousands of workers and tourists as they pass through the center of the huge spacestation. And all manner of goods, both mundane and fantastical, can be had. It is a cosmopolitan mix of races and cultures, built out of the need for progress and understanding, but beneath this facade of co-operation beats a black heart. A seedy black market of illicit goods and services can be had for those who know where to look.
