Description
Star Trader is a game of interstellar economics set in the 24th Century. Each of up to six players is master of a fleet of spacefaring trade vessels, competing with opponents to increase his own profits at the expense of the other players. The basic monetary unit in Star Trader is the HectoTran (HT), which is equivalent to IOO Transfers, or $50 000). All transactions in the game are conducted in HT’s.
Players familiar with SPI's role-playing game of the future, Universe will find that the spaceships, Star Systems, commodities, and other features in Star Trader are adapted from concepts presented in Universe. Although designed as an independent multiplayer game, Star Trader may be used in conjunction with a Universe campaign as an adventure generator or as an economic sub-system. Section 24.0 of these rules offers suggestions on using the two games together.
