Why fool you? You are way too clever. Although it seems like you've never met the Keel-Verezy. They sell you the Cloaking Device, although your favourite trademaster in that region will charge you a high commision fee (price is 25000 credits + 10 percent commision fee) for introducing you to the Keel-Verezy, who even cloaked their complete system, since they are afraid of the Druuge (their ships are mere transport vessels, no weapons).
Their twingods of eternal galactic peace prohibited them to use weapons, that's why they had to hide.
Deep-Jiffa: And yes, i like seeing newbies cry for help, because they wasted 4 years down here to find such interesting and important stuff like Wimblis Trident and so on.
And if you do not wish to let this thread live, then do not answer. I might loose interest in telling the story of my adventures if you're not showing your annoyance.
Okay, so i have been telling "Seemansgarn" (german for exaggerated stories). So what? That's why i played this game in first place.

I had an unfortunate run-in with the Keel-Verezy...literally!
I was holding orbit around one of the planets near the portal ( Beta Arae V, after I snagged the Trident Activiation Device) when all of the sudden I hear this huge explosion! The engineering crew reports heavy damage to my starboard side. No sign of asteroids about, when all of the sudden, my comm is flooded with a voice.
"Watch where you're going, moron!"
Unsure what to think, I decided to send a lander down to the planet. The scans didn't show any biologicals... As the lander was entering the atmosphere, it was suddenly blown to bits! Some sort of defensive weapon hidden on the surface? I tried simply talking into my comm, and found out that I had inadvertently crashed into a Keel-Verezy ship! I quickly apologized, and explained my situation. They apologized for the death of my lander crew and the loss of RU from the lander. Quickly we became allies and yes, it's true what Luki said, they sell beer at REALLY cheap discounts! I picked up 50 units (kegs, I suppose) for 25 RU! My lord! The other thing that the KV offered was a dance show, but, well...we couldn't see it. We just clapped whenever we heard applause.

The proper measurment of a Keel-Verezy keg is 1 kilolitre. It comes in an assortment of stout, lager and ale. However, seeing as both the kegs and the liquid is invisible, the only way of telling one keg from another is by tasting it. I remember this one trip where we had to break open 7 1 kilolitre kegs (4 ale, 3 lager) before we found the stout. Oh yes, that was the trip when we accidentally left the port warp engine on Tau Ceti 2, and compensated by strapping a traddash ship to the starboard side. We were quite dizzy by time we came home, I can tell you that! On the other hand, the hula hula competition went really well, although I still suspect the Umgah cheated somehow. I mean, how does a blobbie win a competition like that?

Luki, they're bio-engineers, they could do it. 
Yes, I noticed the crew prefered the ale, but engineering liked the stout especially. It's about twice as effective as the fuel the Vindicator burns. After the entire crew puked all over (due to overdrinking and hurky-jurky starts and stops from throwing in kilolitres to get home and spread the good news quicker) those engineering guys rigged up a line-feed system from the stout to the engines. When we got back to Sol, the ship stunk and we had to replace ALL the thrusters. Apparently, 15 days in Hyperspace connected to KV Stout isn't healthy for them. Oh yea, don't get them linked to the turn-thrusters, you'll get sicker quicker. That thing'll spin like a top!

Have you ever tried to sell the lager to the Kzer-Za?
Watch their fighters flying then!
The stout is just perfect for the Kohr-Ah.
Or ever tried to sell the ale to the Druuge or Melnorme?
Just offer a keg for the taste, they'll drink it (hey it's for free), then ask for a special offer (Druuge) or refund (Melnorme). Actually, the Melnorme will give you for your last lander-upgrade as refund one Melnorme Trader with all their secrets! (The screen turns from blue to red because the screen is still blue, but when attacked the alcohol need to be barfed out of the stomach. And that brown glibberish on the screen makes it look like it's red). Yack!
And if you don't ask for a refund, he'll start drinking more and more. And starts talking nonsense, the poor Mael-Num.
Oh, damnit! I promised him i'd never tell anyone! What the heck, Blueish cannot remember me after the second keg he bought....
