These passengers usually carry weapons and other goods andtheir destinations might be dangerousMining EquipmentMining Equipment, produced by the Galactic Mining Authority, is used to repair or replaceequipment on asteroid mines. The equipment ranges from the standard mining drill toadvanced laser equipment.NarcoticsNarcotics are used widely within the pirate community. These drugs alter the person'sperceptions and brain functions. Unfortunately these effects cannot be controlled and thenarcotics can usually result in unwanted side effects and in some cases death.NividiumNividium is a rare mineral that is found in some larger asteroid fields located in the universe.Its use is limited, although it has been used as a superconductor. Nividium in its purest form istraded as a unique and valuable commodity.Nostrop OilNostrop or Teladian sun oil is the main Teladi food product. It is mixed with various spicesand sold in different flavours. The Teladi produce and mix it in so-called Sun Oil Refineriesbased on sunflowers.OreOre is the most common mineral throughout the whole known universe. It is used in theproduction process of almost all technical goods. Ore is produced in Ore Mines which arebuilt on suitably mineral-rich asteroids.PassengersAll races have access to commercial spacecraft; these ships can take large groups ofpassengers to space stations or to other planets or systems.Pirate SidearmsUnlike the military issue hand weapons, these Pirate sidearms have been declared illegal bymost races. They are popular amongst Pirates as they are very effective at short range andeven minor wounds can be fatal. The favoured pirate sidearm is the rare IMB-42 Blasterwhich literally rips the molecular structure of a living organism apart. Transporting and owningthese weapons is a capital offence in some sectors.PlanktonBoron plankton is found as a scum like surface that floats on the surface of the chemicalswamps on Planet Boron. It is produced naturally from certain chemical reactions that arefound in the swamp mixing with the ammonia-based air. This scum is collected and thentreated with additives and other Boron minerals to produce a wide range of different, andnutritious spices. Since the Boron seas are now completely protected from any industrialusage, Plankton is mainly produced on huge Plankton Space Farms everywhere in the BoronKingdom.83Quantum TubesQuantum Tubes, also called Planck Tubes, are used inside the engines and controls of manyof the larger transporter ships and destroyers. The manufacture of Planck Tubes is bothcostly and complex, making Quantum Tubes one of the most expensive trading goods.Radioactive WasteRadioactive waste is a by-product of weapon production, especially the Hornet Missile. Untilrecently the only way to dispose of the waste was to dump it in disused silicon mines. TheBoron have discovered a micro-organism in the sector Light Water that digests the harmfulwaste and excretes an inert material. How this useful radiation-resistant organism evolved isunknown.
Rastar OilRastar is oil produced from the animal fat of the Chelt, a farmed sea-bound animal on Split.This oil, once refined, is very fine and is used by most races to lubricate engines and othermoving mechanical parts. It is refined in Rastar Refineries and sold in large barrels known asGretts.Scruffin FruitsScruffin is a large type of edible vegetation similar to sweet potatoes. It is grown by Splitfarmers in large open fields, as well as on gigantic space installations called Scruffin Farms. Itis a versatile foodstuff that, when processed, provides a number of Split food types. Eventhough scruffin is traded inside and outside the Split territory it is mainly demanded by variousSplit food factories..Silicon WafersSilicon is the main mineral resource that all modern technology goods are based on. It isusually found just below the surface of asteroids and mined in huge Silicon mines in space.SlavesPilots who lost their freedom and are captured by pirates often end up being sold as slaves onillegal markets.SpacefliesThis creature is a small unintelligent spacefly that lives in the vast emptiness of deep space.They are the size of a small bird and seem to be made out of delicate shining gossamer thatreacts to light and shimmers and shines in a multitude of colours. The Markus live in vastcomplex hives in hollowed out parts of asteroids and perform a valuable function by collectingspace junk and other debris, which they capture and take back to their asteroids to be used inthe construction of their hives. They travel together in great swarms and communicate with aseries of musical notes, similar to bird song, that impossibly echo in space. Their beauty, andthe beauty of their music, is famed throughout the X Universe and all intelligent space racesdelight in seeing them. Pilots will stop to watch a swarm fly past. Creatures working on theoutside of ships and space stations have claimed that the Markus will fly near them and evenperch on them, singing all the while. However, throughout space, sightings of The MarkusSpace Fly are becoming very rare. This is mainly due to the actions of The Split, who captureand use the small space fly to power their spaceships. Currently the Foundation Guild arepressing for the Markus to be made a protected species and pressure is being put on the Splitto change their system of powering their spaceship engines. It is believed that, despite auniversal ban on their capture or trading, some pirates still hunt and capture this creature inorder to sell them to the Split.84Space FuelMembers of the Argon race never trade Argon Whisky openly. It is known as Space Fuel andis smuggled in containers known as Fuel Tanks as only few stations have a tradingconcession. A cheap imitation of Argon whisky, called space fuel, is produced in whiskyproducing plants, and smuggled into all other race sectors.SpaceweedSpace weed can be smoked or ingested through the mouth. Because of its intoxicating effect,and the fact that it is supposedly habit forming, the governments of all races, with theexception of the Teladi, have outlawed this plant. It is suspected that the Teladi produceSpaceweed in a factory they called the Bliss Place.Soja BeansSoja beans grow naturally inside large caves found throughout the Paranid home planet. Asthey grow in the dark they are white in colour and retain a large amount of moisture. TheParanid farm them and gently squeeze out this moisture, which they then use as a source ofwater. The dry beans are then mashed, and processed to produce a type of basic foodstuffused as the base for many of the Paranid different food types. It is traded as Soja husk. Thespace installations growing these beans are called Soy Farms.
