You are a merchant employed by the [[Trans-Solar Federation]], sent on a trading mission to the [[Nanotrasen#Epsilon Eridani Holdings|station]]. As a "Sol Trader", your goal is to trade the items that start on your freighter to the crew, typically in exchange for a large supply of credits, plasma, etc. These items being sold may or may not be legal, so make sure to remind the crew that you are not legally responsible for any crimes committed using the products you sold.
'''Traders''' are merchants employed by one of the various galactic factions who sell their stock to any station they may come across. Their inventory can vary in legality in whichever sector they choose to sell their goods in, so crew are recommended to acquire legal carry permits before purchase. Typically accepted currencies by the Traders are plasma ore and credits.

Two or one trader are picked to spawn in inside the Trading Satellite through a [[Random Events#Traders|Midround roll]], depending on the number of polled [[ghost]] candidates who accepted the offer to play as one. "Trader" needs to be enabled in the Antagonists panel in order to get a chance to play as a Trader. .
