Zippro Supply Outlet













Zippro's was originally formed in 820 in the Old Expanses sector, Zippro's began merchant life as one of many frontier generalized purveyors of expidition equipment at reasonable prices. Soon, a windfall of additional company property allowed Zippro's, (known at the time as "OEV Provisioners") to begin producing its own lines of high quality, low-cost goods, in addition to expanding its export and delivery services. By 870, the operation had expanded to 15 stores and a service fleet of 5 Fat Traders.

By the present day, OEV changed its name to "Zippro" to emphasize the new direction of fast service and high quality provisions.

Zippro sells all manner of adventure gear, and its only primary failing is a lack of actual selection of Vacc Suits. Two basic models are offered, but this is augmented by a wide array of aftermarket vacc suit accessories. Oxygen tank refills are always free at Zippro.
Aas is datanet hookup.

To date, Zippro has 759 Outlets at A and B Starports and 1250 Clearance Outlets at several F class spaceports. All outlets are 100 ton mobile, self- contained modules. A fleet of 10,000 ton Module tenders make regular circuits to Store placement sites and restock and refuel them. Often this work will be contracted out to local labor, as will actual store operation. This gives Zippro's an advantage by knowing the local market and ordering according to demand. Each Zippro unit comes with a utility servo for cleaning and merchandizing.

Zippro has an excellent reputation among travellers for offering a good selection of the comforts of home, in particular a good array of armaments and ammunition.

The Zippro module is either free standing on a self leveling foundation frame, or easily attachable to orbital facilities by the front facade hardpoint.
