Galactic Trader: Your great grandfather united the twenty planets, but the current Emperor is strangling it for his benefit. You must raise one billion credits in order to finance a revolution to save the crumbling Empire. The only way to do so is to become a trader, roaming the galaxy, buying low, selling high, and always looking for a deal. Watch out, for pirates abound, and assassins on Galactica are trying to reap a huge award for your early demise.

Galactic Trader is the sequel to Galactic Empire and the second game in the Galactic Saga. The planet Galactica's forces have conquered the Central Galactic System, but with the new empire now established and at peace, the fleet commander responsible for the campaign finds himself without a job. Left with only a small personal ship, some fuel and a few credits, a career change from conqueror to trader is in order.

The goal in the game is to amass the number of one billion credits within 1000 years. Profits are made by transferring cargo from one planet to another - the farther away a commodity is sold from its source, the more profit is to be made. Keeping with the absence of faster-than-light travel or communication established in Galactic Empire, it is impossible to know what a commodity goes for on a certain planet unless it is visited. While the ship computer keeps track of prices, these might be out of date when a planet is revisited. The prices follow a dynamic economic model of supply and demand. Finding a good trade route might invite to reusing it again and again, but there's a catch: if a big consortium gets wind of a profitable route, they can lay an exclusive claim to it, shutting it off from further use by the player.

Flying around from planet to planet isn't free: an eye must always be kept on fuel consumption, which depends on distance traveled and the mass of the carried cargo. To avoid being lost in space when it runs out, fuel must be bought from the fuel cartel. They accept credits, but when cash flow is low, cargo can be traded in for fuel as well, but usually at less attractive rates. Bartering is also necessary on most planets, since only on Galactica cargo can be converted to credits. The game goal thus necessitates visits to Galactica from time to time, but this harbors another risk: the new emperor, jealous of the former fleet commander's popularity, might attempt to assassinate him. Each visit to Galactica increases the chance of an untimely death.

The game interface is for the most part unchanged from Galactic Empire, but adapted to the new gameplay. The ship's console displays an image of the current locale, the current stardate, and statistics about cargo, cash and fuel. The ship's computer can be accessed to display the galactic map, give information about trading rates at planets already visited and calculate the fuel needed to reach the next destination.

The Galactic traders were a Guild in the Galactic Empire. Some of the Galactic traders were sympathetic to the Independent Systems, such as Aquilae because of the restrictions the Empire placed on their operations. They had a base on Norton Three, in the Norton Asteroid Belt of the Aquilaean system. Trade frigates were operated by the traders. They were overseen by the Imperial Ministry of Transport.

Bail Antilles, a trader, was also a spy for Aquilae. Another trader was Aay Zavos, who had contacts with the Chrome Companies on Ophuchi. When the Empire announced plans for the annexation of Aquilae, all trade frigates were grounded at Alderaan.

Intergalactic Space Trader is a solo player game where you take on the role of an Intergalactic Space Trader. You have a freighter which you will use to fly from planet to planet selling your trade goods in the hope of making a profit. You can upgrade your ship, buy bigger ships, make investments and trade goods. Along the way you might do some mining, find a derelict ship, fend off space pirates or head into the entertainment sector. Who knows whom you might meet there.

IST and all its expansions such as this spaceship expansion is designed to be portable, being in an A6 format. Each page is A6 but can be printed A5 also. Using a PDF reader you can set the files to print as booklets if you have A5 paper, and you can always tear in half A4 pages in half. The game was always designed to be carried in a pocket.

This game is inspired by my love of Sci-fi and the Amiga game Frontier Elite. Of course, the original Elite has a part to play as the god father of space trading games but I sunk most of my time into Frontier at just about the right age. Han Solo probably has something to do with this game as well.

A Cerean Jedi Master who serves on the High Council, Mundi at first did not believe that the Sith had made somehow a return. Mundi is leading his galactic marines into battle on Mygeeto when Darth Sidious issues Order 66 which destroyed the Jedi Knights. As a result, Ki-Adi is shot to death by his own clone troopers.
