Star Trek "The Trouble with Tribbles" (1967) There are some notes here.Ĭyrano Jones, tribble trader. Late breaking news: a programmer who goes by the handle of Makhidkarun has made a Python software library implementing the GURPS Traveller: Far Trader " gravity trade model" to generate trade routes (alas, to use this one has to be proficient in the Python computer programming language). It has detailed analysis of the economics of interstellar trade, and a system of equations to model trade routes and economic demands. Written with help from a real live economist, this allows one to model interplanetary and interstellar trade with equations and everything. Don't forget the entry in this website about Cargo HoldsĪs mentioned below, if you want to play around with interstellar trading, or even try doing a full simulation (to do worldbuilding for creating the background of your new novel), I'd suggest getting a copy of GURPS Traveller: Far Trader. Go to The Tough Guide to the Known Galaxy and read the entries "ECONOMY", "FREE TRADERS", "PIRACY", "REPLICATOR", "TRADE" and "TRADE FEDERATION". There is a long history of SF novels about interstellar free traders eking out a marginal existence on the fringes of the huge trader corporations, from Andre Norton's Solar Queen novels to the Space Angel series by John Maddox Roberts.
