The Shopkeeper paused for a moment, as he moved more space herb onto the parchment, "Ah yes, two pounds." He used his right hand to correct the mistake on the terminus, "My apologizes, my apologizes. Yess... yes, my cloak." The Shop keeper took off his cloak with his left hand, as he held it out towards Serenity. "This cloak was passed down to me by my ancestors, yes." He gestured at several of the inner runes, which were glowing bright blue. "These runes in the center, are personal." He pointed at a rune which looked like a circle with a seven diamonds entanged within it. "Yes, this shows the heritage of the mining of my clan, yes. The number is luck, as we were rather fortunate not to be culled during the War of Kal'rik Belt." 

This war was primarily financed between two mining corporations for the rights to mine in the Kal'rik Asteroid Belt, and the war lasted for twenty four years, well judging by the calendar they use. Most of the native inhabitants of belt, were dislocated due to the war, especially those who fought among the Gorplex Excavation Corporation. After the war the company stocks dropped so low, and they were immediately bought out by Victorious Ventures (the winners of the Kal'rik Belt Wars), and was immediately gutted out to make more credits. Victorious Ventures still operates, and still maintains the rights to the Kal'rik Belt, alongside other asteroid belts, and a variety of planets.

The shop-keeper then pointed towards a rune which seemed to mark the cloak the most. The rune was composed of a triangle marked out with an x, and all of the points of the x had a small circle on them. "These runes, well they are simply the symbol that an old space-faring crew I used to work with. As for why it has the most marks on the cloak, well, the loyalty I shared with them affected me greatly." The shop keeper wistfully remarked, as he returned the cloak back onto himself, "Well, that wasn't all of the things I could share with you about the cloak. But, I figured those were the ones that mattered. Oh yes, yes, I shall make sure your order heads to your ship."
