Trade

Trade is the exchange of goods, services, and resources between settlements, habitats, and political entities across the Solar System in the late 30th century.

Interplanetary Commerce

Commerce between worlds relies heavily on standardized navigation routes and communication networks. Major conglomerates like MercuryLink provide essential infrastructure for trade operations.

Regulatory Framework

The Interplanetary Astrodynamic Navigation Authority (IANA) governs transportation along the ecliptic, directly impacting trade costs and logistics. Trade regulations vary significantly between major polities such as the Jovian Union and Martian Necrarchy.

Major Trade Routes

Primary commercial corridors connect the inner and outer system through established navigation lanes. Economic hubs at Lagrange points serve as critical waypoints for interplanetary cargo transport.

Economic Blocs

Distinct economic zones have emerged around major settlements and political unions. Corporate entities maintain significant influence over trade policy and infrastructure development.

Transportation and Logistics

Interplanetary cargo systems must account for orbital mechanics, transit times, and the absence of faster-than-light technology. Efficient logistics networks are essential for maintaining economic connectivity across vast distances.
