You see it in your everyday life all the time: flashy neon signs pushing you to buy the latest clothes, or an ad before your video on youtube. Now, why doesn't Council Space have the same? That's a good question. It's because we don't know what products are being made/sold in this part of space. So i'm giving you folks the chance to invent your own brands, products, companies, beverage names, ect. Anything and everything you could think to want to have a brand name in the sector. Brand name sodas? Sure. Brand name cybernetics? Great! You get the picture. Basically, post any old brand names, perhaps a small description for them, and the ones that don't suck will be included in the wiki as recognized brands and products of the sector. The reason for this is so players have actual names to call products, and so that colonies can place advertisements for real products that actually exist in the sector! So now, as an example, here's a brand I personally didn't invent the idea of, but i've heard a lot so I'd like it to be official. Avosian Import, a wartwine imported from Avos.
