The sad story of McDowell Prime definitely casts the JumpCorp's benevolent reputation in doubt, the full story is lost in the shuffle of Tyran Freenze's war. You might ask, how you lose a whole planet? Looking back the chaos of JumpCorp's largest internal struggle, it's actually pretty easy. Regardless, now there's a sizable asteroid thicket and the Roogas clinging to what's left of their homeworld. Organized into loose "mobs" each maintains an oral history of the wrong done to them by various offworlders. No matter how long the litany of grudges, they all end with "JumpCorp stole the land beneath our feet."
Sometimes who you have on the ship is as important as what you're carrying. One of the few constraints that JumpCorp puts on its Charters is on the quantity of intoxicants, especially alcohol. Luckily for the crew and the destination, a good usquebaugh can make liquor out of nearly anything.
