Costa Serena was a nice town, but what made it better was the complete lack of backbone. The local gangs and thugs had little to no power, the authorities could easily be paid to look the other way, and with inflation going through the roof thanks to the brewing war, foreign currency could buy a lot more than what it does where it came from.
For the veterans working for the Castor Security Firm, it made for a great vacation spot, one were their strength could earn them special treatment, and no one would dare to mess with them. After weeks spent in the middle of the freezing ocean, they would travel to the shore and spend some time on the island, blowing off some steam before heading back to their boring work of watching those mining rigs.
