The laws of weapon distribution in the UP (or, at least in Macht) was simple. Don't sell to foreign empire, and don't sell anything dangerous to anybody underage. If you used any acquired weaponry irresponsibly, you were branded on the neck and lost all weapons privileges besides your natural magic. The shop was small, as Nova Corp didn't sell many wares and usually just shipped it's items in bulk to other merchants to sell. But if you had the patience to go out of your way, you would be rewarded with the the Nova Corp Equipment Store. At the far end, there was a row of Shildwacht on display, posed in various ways like life sized action figures. signs put in front of them about features and a hefty price. Going through the rows, you would find an entire row of black, ridiculously over sized coats that any Paxan would know was a Jakleauti, a two solid pillars of Stage 1 and Stage 2 Magnifanium and a liquid container for Stage 3 with the words, "Custom items built to your specifications!" on them all, which was right next to the row with sturd, rigid plastic boxes containing the AAM device, AAP device, the PDG, the Hammerspace system, as well as the SPLITTER gloves. One row was dedicated to the EMP devices, whereas the other rows were more for civilians, although bold advertisements about the new Houtbewerker-class ship were posted all around, with order forms available. Nova Phones, the Nova Gaming System, every game available for it, Nova Screens, the shop was packed with all things Nova.
"Sir," he said, again, very politely but very firmly, "The UP has a very strict policy of not selling to foreign empires..."
