For many retailers, this Friday is one of the busiest days of the year, as prices are slashed and consumers compete to take advantage of a range of one-day offers.
As the fateful day draws near, Tchernobog Free, a retail conglomerate based in the Tchernobog system, has placed an open order for various commodities to help it meet demand. The organisation has promised to reward pilots who deliver domestic appliances, clothing and consumer technology to its base of operations at Vancouver Ring.
A spokesperson for the organisation gave a brief statement to the media:
"Half of my suppliers have let me down and I've got investors breathing down my neck. I don't care how you do it – just get me those goods!"
The campaign begins on the 24th of November 3302 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

The Uibuth Empire Party has announced that its appeal for basic medicines has received the unconditional support of the galactic community. Over the past week, huge quantities of medication have been delivered to D'Arrest Station in the Uibuth system, which will be used to control the outbreak currently plaguing the starport.
Princess Aisling Duval, who funded the relief effort and whose repatriation centre is based at the starport, released a brief statement:
"I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude to those who supported this campaign. Medical personnel at D'Arrest Station have assured me that the situation will soon be in hand."
Pilots who contributed to the initiative are now free to collect their rewards from D'Arrest Station in the Uibuth system.
