Juun Carpentry
--------------
The owner is a Juun man, around 50 years old, very convinced of the
quality of his wares. The shop sells Juun carpentry, mainly tables and
chairs but also painting frames. All of the items are crafted by hand, or
at least that's what the owner claims. They also do rebuildings of
quarters, with a specialty in second floors and lofts. Although not a
large shop, few wares are actually in it, so there is quite a lot of room
to walk around. (Additional items are on sale through a catalogue.)

Cosmic Treasures
----------------
The owner is Q, who was banished from the Continuum a few years ago. He
is 1.80m tall (5'11"), with blue eyes and blond hair. His apparent age is
29. His manners remain very Q-like. He sells archaeological items from
all over the galaxy and as many of them are on display in the small shop,
leaving the customers little room to look around.

Cocoon Antiquities (located next to Bond's Iced Java)
------------------
Owned by a respectable Ferengi businessman named Moreg, the store
combines the sale of various antiques from all over the Cocoon
ranging from cheep trinkets to (nearly) priceless antiquities from
ancient civilizations, with a museum that shows off an alternating
variety of visually and auditory stimulating goods like statues and
chimes. The museum, which is in the back of the store, charges a
small fee for its visitors. Also, an occasional auction is conducted
when a series of new, hot items comes into Moreg's possession.

Rising Star Bar and Grill
-------------------------
Owned by Rissa, an Orion woman (more under Club 101). Run by a Klingon
man named Korj, formerly bartender on the USS Curie. It is a bar and
restaurant, grittier than Club 101. The bar itself reflects Earth design
from the era of sea sailing pirates. It is a fond pastiche of
rough-and-tumble port bars, set in to replicated-oak furnishings. The
smell is as authentic as are the furnishings.

The Haberdashery

The owner is a Human man of British descent, a typical English gentleman.

in the future, but only very few people know this. They are mated and
have a five-year-old daughter, T'Hannah. The shop sells mostly books on
chips, but also some paper ones, on a wide variety of topics. Previews of
all chips can be watched on displays mounted at the top of all shelves.

Cafe Matisse
------------
Owned by Joe O'Neil. It is a medium-sized French style cafe with chairs
and tables outside. It serves drinks and typical French food like
croissants and is quieter than Club 101 and the Rising Star. Tinkerbell

Bajoran Shrine
--------------
Run by Vedek Hylan and Prylar Karan, both Bajoran men.
Refs: RPG 522, 2996
Club 101
--------
Owned by Rissa, an Orion woman and former slave. It is a popular bar with
the Starfleet officers from DS101 and visiting ships. It is modeled after
20th century Earth clubs. Along the wall behind the bar are green
florescent shelves that hold liquor bottles. The walls of the club are
black. Running vertical up the walls are transparent tubes, each
containing a different color compound. This is reminiscent of the lava
lamps that were popular on Earth in the 1960s. In comparison to the Mall
and most shops, the light level in the club is lower, being provided
mostly by the lava lamps.
At the far left of the club, located on the opposite side of the bar
table, is a large viewscreen that can be viewed at nearly any point in
the club. It is the first thing people see at the entrance of the club,
since it is so enormous. The screen displays news reports and other
events from a variety of worlds. Directly below the viewscreen, the floor
is elevated about three steps up and shaped like a half circle shape.
In addition to being a bar, the club functions as an informal restaurant.
There are black tables that are located throughout the bar, including the
elevated floor part below the viewscreen. There are servers who wait on
these tables, providing food from most worlds, thanks to the many
replicators located behind the bar.
There are several holosuites on the second level, accessible from the
club.
