Because it costs your contact influence to usher you into the Black Market, they will not do so unless you have sufficient rep with them.
4 Life Saving Talents (Applies to Black Market)Īccess to Black Markets can be difficult. Black Markets ignore conflicts such as Trade Bans. All "big trade" talents in the Black Market are more powerful than their legal Exchange counterparts. Black Markets have less impact on supply / demand, allowing a captain to complete longer trading cycles in a single zone. All sale prices are (25%) higher - better profits for smugglers. Black markets will only appear on planets that have a government rating of 4 or higher.īesides ignoring the legality of goods and trading without the proper permit there are other advantages to trading in a Black Market. These access levels (1-5) function much the same way trade permits do but they do not cost money and are not permanent, being granted each time a captain access the market. Some trades may be limited by the access level that the captain is granted to Market. Once in a Black Market a captain can both buy and sell regardless of the legality of the goods and the trade laws of the zone. Other contacts (Courtesan, Gestalt Technologist, Retired Explorer, Retired Spy, Retired Xeno Hunter, Song Blade Dancer, Spice Runner, Spice Trader, Spicetender, Troubadour and Warlord) may be able to help a captain enter a Black Market if they are Greedy, Corrupt or have Underworld traits. The captain must have a Smuggler, Smuggler Prince or Fixer contact, with whom they have enough personal reputation to be ushered into these black trading houses. 
It is not easy, however, to find such markets. Black Markets allow such captains to sell their illicit goods outside of legal zone exchanges. Enterprising captains often find themselves in possession of goods that they are unable to sell either through lack of the correct permit or because the goods have been deemed illegal on a given planet.
In the Star Trader's universe, trade is highly regulated by faction laws and also by the trade laws established by each zone prince.
