Interstellar Trade within Charted Space
Commerce and trade are the lifeblood of any civilization. And interstellar trade is the lifeblood of an interstellar civilization. Charted Space is no exception. Every one of the polities, or supra-polities, of the major races prospers in part due to successful trading practices.
- Trade, at its most basic level, is the mutually beneficial exchange of goods and services.
