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.
 
==Becoming a Trader==
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. .


==Tools of the Trade==
==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|Trading Satellite]] and their own personal [[#Freighter|Freighter]], along with a bountiful [[#Items For Sale|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.

The customer's side has an ATM attached on a wall, allowing for easy cash withdrawal.
'''<span style="color: red;">WARNING:</span> Leaving the Freighter to go onto the station is not allowed without prior administrator approval. Make an Adminhelp first!'''
