Description[edit]
First built during the reign of Magestrix Floral Centrella around 2550, Canopian Pleasure Circuses have been described by ComStar as space stations that travel throughout the Inner Sphere and Periphery. Other sources indicate the circuses are typically housed in DropShips.[1] [2] Essentially flying casino hotels, they offer food, accommodation and entertainment of every stripe. They are a natural base for the Magistracy Intelligence Ministry (MIM) to operate in and has been instrumental in the effectiveness of the spy network. Their revenue represents a major source of taxes for the Magistracy of Canopus and are thus heavily supported by the state.[3]
Among the thousands of pleasure circuses that exist, it is the policy that only legal and consensual activities are allowed. Whether this is true or not depends on one's faith in human nature.
