Scourge Prime
Scourge Prime is one of 15 dockable ports in CONTRABAND. Each port has a market, a shipyard (sometimes), repair services, and at least one NPC who will react differently depending on your reputation, faction standing, and chapter progress.
Services available
- Market — buy and sell cargo. Prices vary by chapter and reputation.
- Repair — restore hull and shield for credits.
- Crew board — occasionally lists a hireable crew member.
- Mission board — local jobs, sometimes faction-specific.
Why dock here
Scourge Prime sits in Scourge Prime — a Scourge Reach system worth visiting because the local market often has a 10–25% spread on cargo if you arrived from a complementary economy. The mission board here pulls jobs from the surrounding systems, which means you can find a reason to fly almost anywhere.
NPC interactions
The NPCs at Scourge Prime react to your reputation track. If you have positive standing with the dominant local faction, expect discounted prices, friendlier dialogue, and the occasional hint about side content. Negative standing flips most of this — prices climb, NPCs grow tense, and you may be denied service entirely if your reputation is severely negative.
Strategy notes
If you are new to Scourge Prime, dock and walk through every menu once. The first visit often unlocks a small piece of dialogue or a tutorial hint that you cannot retrigger later. Treat first dockings as exploration even when you are in a hurry.
