In the second of my short series of posts on Traveller World Tags, I'm focusing on the following trade codes: Desert (De), Fluid Oceans (Fl), Garden (Ga).
My thoughts on world tags for these trade codes follow:

Fluid Oceans (Fl)

Garden (Ga)
Allies/Contacts: Big game hunter; Knowledgeable forester; Respected vintner; Spice farmer Rivals/Enemies: Clearcutting logger foreman; Drug crop plantation owner; Gluttonous noble; Vengeful game warden Targets: Bottles of fine wine/liquor; Exotic or addictive spices; Handcrafted wooden furniture; Prime livestock specimens Locales: Hunting lodge; Overgrown plantation; Vineyard; Wildlife preserve Challenges: Exotic local disease; Invasive offworld predators originally imported to handle a local pest; Trapped in a hunting preserve when hunting season starts; Unusual hunting or wildlife preservation regulations
