Interstellar trade

Interstellar commerce is one of the most important industries in modern human life. It typically involves transporting large amounts of cargo over lightyears of distance through a wide variety of environments and territories. The payment for these jobs can vary wildly depending on their volume and difficulty, with common routes in common ships barely paying the cost to sustain said ships over said routes, while dangerous routes carrying illegal commodities can pay a fortune.

Credits are the most widespread form of currency and are able to be used at almost any space station or store. They are a digital form of currency which are stored on what are called "cred-sticks", which can hold a varying amount of credits. Credits are usually used for large purchases such as weapons, cargo and starships, and as such small purchases usually cannot be made with them. These types of purchases are instead made using fractions of credits, referred to as micro-credits or MC, 100 of which make one credit.

Fencing goods
Commodities are created by specific stations and are in high demand in other types of stations. While it is possible to buy/sell commodities at other stations they are either more expensive or don't sell for as much.

Some goods, especially weapons and drugs, are restricted or outright illegal in certain locations.

Commodities
Commodities are common or well known trade goods that have a relatively well known price and can be bought or sold at a wide variety of space stations or planets.
