====Neural Processing Units====
The Repair station was used to repair a great many devices on planet and soon restored Replicator Industries and ither needed things for the people of this devastated world.

Individuals serve as Neural Processors and receive substantial funds.  They are linked into a complex computer system using their brains ans high speed processing units.  They are intravenously fed and hydrated and physically maintained.
 
 
 
 
====Gretileon Station====
 
A massive artificial structure for repair of Star ships by an automatic system. Established by the Gretilion Corp, the structure is responsible for the renaissance and transformation of Randal from a damaged system after the micro-singularity passed through it.
 
 
 
Gretileon Station is an extremely advanced automatic construction facility able to repair anything from ships to people.  It uses extensive replicator technology and holographic systems to locate things as minor as a squeaky floor or clogged coffee pot up to complete destruction of a ship.  It has the ability to repair living tissue in a similar manner.
 
 
 
The Station uses ''Neural Interfaces'' to provide the processing power to manage the complex overlapping repairs.  They legend is that Delwin Gretileon found the station in space and it was acting as a merchant station trading goods for services, but occasionally crew of ships being repaired "Died"  Close examination determined that the "dead" crewman was actually duplicated exactly and replaced.  The living crewman being implnated in a part of the computer system.  Gretilion captured the device and reconfigured the system to allow voluntary service as "Neural Units" and paid well for it.

In the beginning people served one month "In Service to the Machine" and received a large regular monthly stipend for 11 Months.  The 11 Month Period was considered the amount of time required to fully recover from the service.  Later medical experts determined that only 3 months were required to fully recover though the discomfort of recovery was relatively minor.  As the popularity of the Service increased the time "In Service" was lowered to one week, though the pay was still in 11 monthly increments.  There are now three units in the system and it is a common advocation, especially for those in college and other educational opportunities.

There were few large mammals on Randal when the company arrived.  Homesteaders placed to raise large hogs and cattle provided a stable food source.

===Marcus Tentar  and the Tentar Tigers===
 
Marcus Tentar was a high level board member of Randal Corp in the early years of the move to Randal.  Little about him is remembered except for the Tentar Hunting Preserve and the associated Tiger Raids. 
 
 
 
Tentar was a big game hunter on several planets and part of an active social group fond of hunting prey on various worlds.  The lack of even medium sized game on Randal made him convince Randal Corp to include importation of Game Animals for hunting.  Considering it a personal issue of a board member it was not overseen by the company.
 
 
 
Eventually Tentar imported numerous types of antelope,  deer, buffalo, bear, a large variety of wild boars, and other frolicsome animals.
 
 
 
Over the years the organized hunting excursions gained popularity and even profitability. 
 
 
 
One year Marcus Tentar, as he approached his senility, hired a company to bring him 10 tigers and deposit them in a region near the popular hunting tracts for a group of experienced hunters.  The order set the location for the deposit but nothing else.  Since the nature of bureaucracy is a universal constant a mistake was made on the invoice and instead of the ten tigers that Tentar ordered, a thousand were delivered.  This included enough breeding pairs to establish the animals on planet. 
 
 
 
Tentar's hunting party equipped to hunt the ten tigers included many high level Randal Corp personages, and Dependants.  Forty two people, including Marcus Tentar, were eaten.
 
 
 
Afterwards the hunting camps suffered from frequent raids of tiger groups as the prey stayed closer and closer to the camps.
 
 
 
When the Singularity struck the hunting region was abandoned.  In time when hunting groups returned the wildlife was truly wildlife.
 
 
 
==Race Tourism==
 
 
Race Tourism has been a staple of Randal since its early beginnings.  Almost anything is raced but the most popular are horse racing and motorcycle racing.

The two main race formats are the '''Fig Five''' and the '''Five Solid'''
 
 
 
The '''''Fig Five''''' or '''''"Five Ring Route"''''' is one of the most popular formats on Randal.  It is televised regularly and experienced riders can build a strong fan base.
 
 
 
Among the most popular motorcycle, Zipp and Hoverpod race formats.
 
 
 
 
 
*4 rings( A,B,C,D), surround a center ring in the middle of a square called the Flats. Starting on the North Flat, near the B Ring the riders go toward A Ring where the Spots will dictate if they enter the Left or Right entrance to the Ring.  As they exit "A ring" the Spots on the center ring dictate which Flat they take. The race continues with riders following the directions of the spots, which vary from rider to rider .  The race proceeds till the lead rider has passed through the designated number of passages; usually a race is 20, 42, or 100 passages.
 
 
 
*Fig 5 vehicles had a pair of direction mounted lights on their display that informs them which is the next left/right or flat designation they must proceed to.
 
 
 
A the race progreses differant  directed left or right at each of the 4 intersections causing the riders to risk crashing into each other.  Green or Red Lights tell the rider which left or right course to take.  Races take 50,75 and 100 Circles and the winner is the first to complete that number.

*'''''Rigging''''' or Fixing results is not illegal but tends to be frowned on. It plays a part in many stories of a theatrical nature and in much of the popular entertainment methods. However Court cases involving assaults, even murders, involving a ''Sports Rigger'' tend to be considered justifiable.  A sportsman discovered to have taken money to lose a result for the profit of gamblers is often blackballed in respectable establishments.  Should they be murdered, the police rarely make a big effort to solve the crime. Crime Lords involved in ''rigging'' sports results often meet messy ends and are not missed.

=====Knife fighting=====
 
Knife Fighting is a common sport in small venues, clubs, alleys, and private residencesWhile knife fights occur in the WC&LCA they are not strictly speaking part of the underground communities of knife fighting.  Participants fight under agreed terms at best and with no terms at the worst.
 
 
 
While not strictly speaking illegal a lot of the locations seem involved in less then savory enterprises along side of them.  Knife fighters are seen as dangerous elements of society.
 
 
 
*Tregal Far, Lord of the Games-32: 
 
 
 
A legend arose among the knife fighters when Shega Far, daughter of Tregal Far was raped and slain while attending the Wolf's Den for knife fights.  The event was captured on recorders showing 12 identifiable knife fighters, a few friends and a group of their ladies involved in a drunken scene that led to her temporary death.  Taken to a medical center she was put in stasis, transported to a Star Fleet ship and taken to Vulsar Base for long term regeneration.
 
 
 
The knife fighters made sport of her and her treatment afterward releasing the recordings for the public.  Much of it was used in niche porn.
 
 
 
Outraged at the incident itself and the aftermath,  Tregal Far returned from Vulsar Base regenerated and having had complete facial renovation and the removal of all the tattoos and markings that were part of his public recognition as a Lord of the Games.  Returning to Randal he acted like a youth diving into the underworld of the club scenes that revolve arou
