Currency

Currency, also referred to as money, was used as a principal medium of exchange within a particular territory, and introduced into circulation by the appropriate regional authority on economic policy. While in times past a the main currency of the Republic or Imperial Credit would serve most causes, following the collapse of trade during the Vector Crisis, this central coinage collapsed with it. Over the next six centuries, most governments forged their own Credit designs, with unique colours and designs.

To counter-act the obvious market fluctuations that would emerge, most transactions use a cred-stick that keeps exchange rates flat - however, these are easily traced and thus in more dubious polities and circumstances you'll often require a multitude of currencies to fit the mood, especially if the planet was not part of the recognized governments.

Currently encountered examples include: The Party encountered the majority of these among Jiuroc's belongings following the Battle for Jiuroctown.
 * Reborn Empire: The 'Reborn Credit', silver in sheen and intricately carved into the shape of a tower
 * Great Hive: A dusty orange conical credit stick.
 * Ciutric Hegemony: Deep rusted brown and gold with blue inlays, most commonly oval-shaped.
 * Sith Empire: A resurgent 'Imperial Credit'. Deep black, presumably obsidian, with red inlays that create the image of a lavaflow.
 * Tek'rit IX: As this planet was outside of any of the major governments, they had forged their own currency - a deep rocky brown.
