outpost where rogue spaceships go for parts, Norton Sales has some amazingly advanced junk. Its location in North Hollywood, however, is as mundane as its wares are exotic. While Norton mostly serves private space companies, it also does a fair amount of business with movie studios and car modders due to its inventory of cool-looking tech and powerful hydraulics. Take a tour behind the unassuming storefront, and peep at Norton's musty shelves and expansive salvage yard filled with thrusters, valves and fuel tanks.
