Speed of light communication delays gave rise to four primary currencies used widely across the Niecti star system.

Trading with the Alliance using Core Credit (CCr) and related currency occurs deep in the heart of the system and around the Alliance Navy base building far in outer reaches of the system.

Within the inner system, the Niecti mainworld acts as the hub for local trade and banking.

Between the inner system and the outer asteroid belts, the Ekiri gas giant and its extensive system of moons prefer local banking and trade accounting in local currency.

The Outsystem asteroid belts prefer their own trade accounting and currency among their scattered domains.

Trade between system regions can involve currency conversions or swaps with different areas of the system accepting additional secondary currencies out of necessity.

Currency exchange rates are an arcane art which defies rationalization, much to the consternation of Alliance accountants trying to make sense of it all.
