Lunar Citizens on official business could stop(cf. the Roman Cursus
Publicus and Mansiones). Such stations could (and did, in
the Roman world) take on the character and function of an inn,
mutating from 'official business only' to 'any money's good here'
after the Lunars are pushed out.

inevitable.
