'There is nothing finer than setting eyes on so many tons of spinning metal, thousands of people and miles of electronics held together by millions of credits. It's beautiful.'

A wise person once said. 'Money is the root of all evil'. There is very little that has not or will not be done for money. Be it dollars, credits, ducats, toka or ook'ar'a... greed sees no difference. The life blood of trade lies in the worth of currency and few would argue against its greatness. While some understand just how powerful the application of funds can be, traders feel its weight like no other.

The Babylon 5 universe is filled with starship battles and riots that permeate the galaxy.. Yet not all plots and schemes are enforced from behind a firing console or powered-up PPG. Most are fought with credits and politics, boycotts and embargoes. Wars of this kind can be fought without a single shot being fired but still crush entire populations in their wake. A merciless master of trading warfare controls thousands, making pawns of others.
