Laj Vinross Yu hails from Delsauria; that's how the naming scheme is to natural Delsaurians, I think I once read. If it's not...well shoot, I guess it is now. I kinda like the name; has some bite to it.
The heavy affiliation with the Black Market means a lot of things that I'd rather not state in the open, for plot-related reasons. You're welcome to bring it up in GM Planning and Communication, though.
Actually, the Sink Strip *is* intended to be both a mine and a heavy industrial area...it's just fairly new, so it hasn't reached full steam yet. Good call though, and a very good suggestion.
Exports include...well, pretty much every natural metal and even manufactured alloys, as well as precious minerals found in excavation. If it really will enhance the quality of the submission, I'll try and form up a list.
Good suggestions overall.
