Engine Components 
Engine components are used in the manufacture and repair of spacecraft engines. The 
plasma drive is the most common engine system used in modern spacecraft. It makes use of 
a high-energy ionised plasma stream from a fusion core to propel the ship. These drives are 
very stable and simple in construction and need little maintenance. 
 
Entertainment Chips 
Entertainment chips contain films, books, or interactive entertainment. They are used all 
throughout the known universe. Many Boron titles, however, have been banned in the Split 
sectors. 
 
Food Rations 
Small packs of food usually used in combat or refugee conditions. These packs of food 
contain freeze-dried Argnu beef, dried BoFu and water rations. Although not appetizing, these 
foods can mean the difference between life and starvation. 
 
Hand Weapons 
There are many different designs of hand weapons to allow for the physical capabilities of 
each race. They range from Knives and swords to sophisticated military guns and rifles.
 
 
Hackerchips 
A new and expensive computer chip created by some raider parties. These Hacker chips are 
designed as an adaptive hacking tool, automatically redirecting signals, creating viruses and 
generally making a hacker's life easier. They are easily identifiable because they contain their 
own power source - a small fusion battery that powers the chip for a Jazura. They cannot be 
obtained through the usual sources and are used by some pirates to hack station reputations. 
 
Luxury Foodstuffs 
Many planets produce they own Luxury Foodstuffs that are coveted by connoisseurs all over 
the universe. They are packed into refrigerated boxes and shipped quickly to their destination. 
Because of the cost and short shelf life these foodstuffs are usually only used at important 
functions. 
 
Majaglit 
Majaglit is made from the shell of the Maja snail and is a very precious material used by many 
races for creating jewellery, and ornamentation. Due to its precious nature it fetches high 
prices. The few space jewelleries capable of processing Majaglit are famous for high quality 
artworks. 
 
Maja Snails 
Maja snails are found in pools and rivers deep underground on the Paranid home planet. 
Their shells are very shiny and, when subjected to certain light sources, produce a myriad of 
different colours. In Space they are cultivated on Snail Ranches. 
 
Massom powder 
Massom is a powdered form of Scruffin. It is a basic yellow powder produced by the Split from 
the Scruffin, a sweet potato like food grown by the Split. Other races that use it to mix and 
enhance their own foodstuff trade this powder. It is manufactured in Massom Mills found 
everywhere in the Split territory and sold in large, one tonne bulk containers. 
 
Meatsteak Cahoonas 
Argon meatsteaks are traded throughout the universe. They provide a nutritious meat based 
food suitable for most types of races. Some races prefer to use Argon meatsteaks in 
conjunction with different Boron Spices. It is traded in blocks known as Cahoonas. 
 
Medical Equipment 
Medical equipment can be found all over the universe. This equipment can range from small 
medicinal bottles to life support systems and portable operating theatres.
