Background Notes:

Birthplace: Orion

Vertika is a courtesan (i.e., prostitute) working in the orbital station. She entertains only business-class clients, mostly travelers, and certainly not the miners on the planet below. She has a few higher-class clients who consider her below their level, but fun. Like all Orion females of the courtesan caste, she is very - very - good at what she does. But she does more than just entertain. She listens, and asks "harmless" questions. She knows what is on most of the ships coming and going, which Houses are working deals, where to buy things you wouldn’t think are available, and much more. She’s not actually a spy (although if she was, she would be a good one), but more of an independent information broker. If you can afford her rates (¤500 per half hour) you can spend them asking questions instead of what everyone else thinks you are doing.
