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.

Becoming a Trader

Two or one trader are picked to spawn in inside the Trading Satellite through a 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. .

Tools of the Trade

The Traders are tasked by their supervisors to acquire a commissioned amount of plasma and credits through the sale of items. To achieve this goal, they are provided with the Trading Satellite and their own personal Freighter, along with a bountiful stock of merchandise. Their standard equipment also includes a hand labeler with two refills for pricing their items, a survival box for emergencies and a baton to defend themselves from any rowdy customers.

Trading Satellite

Headquarters of the Traders where their Freighter starts docked. It comes supplied with vendors for buying food, drinks, and emergency medical supplies, a bathroom for sanitary needs, a small conference table for planning out sales pitches and cryogenic sleepers for a well-earned rest after a successful business trip.

Freighter

Trading Satellite.png

The ship which the Traders use to deliver cargo from their satellite to the station. All their stock comes neatly pre-loaded in lockers for easy storage. It's piloting controls can be accessed with the Freighter Console, able to only jump between the satellite and the station. It has two entry ways for depositing items during sale, which have flashers installed in case an unwanted person tries to enter. The customer's side has an ATM attached on a wall, allowing for easy cash withdrawal.

WARNING: Leaving the Freighter to go onto the station is not allowed without prior administrator approval. Make an Adminhelp first!

Items For Sale

Traders are always supplied with 6 items each for most departments on the station and also have gear their faction is known for.
