Disclaimer: The prices listed here are general market rates based on standard trade conditions. However, the economy is fluid, and prices may fluctuate depending on your location, availability of resources, and the current political climate. You may find yourself in a war-torn sector where essentials are scarce and highly priced, or in an affluent trade hub where goods are abundant and cheaper. Always check with your GM for official pricing and market conditions in your campaign.

CURRENCY:

As there is no galactic recognized superpower, currency is largely set on a bartering system.

Within Citadel-controlled space, electronic credit chips are used on an NFT system that is backed by Solar Cell Energy in a treasury controlled by the Citadel. However, the Citadel strongly runs on a communist system where all members of the Citadel are encouraged to work for assigned wages according to your assigned jobs based on needs. Credits are used largely to ensure one is not being a parasite on the system.

Within The Empire of Sol, large shipments of Gold are traded between bureaucrats. Gold can be used to barter, but within the loyalists, they are known to flash a seal of authority that holds an electronic signature that sends requests between patrons. The more well-known and respected the patron, the less likely their seal is to be rejected, assuming on their reputation that any required funds will be transferred in expedient time.

Orcs are the only race known to trade exotic game and creatures as barter.
