Run a mom and pop shop or a tavern on the fringe of civilized space. Sell your genetic samples from exploring planets. Subsist as an explorer, selling the maps of virgin worlds. Buy low, sell high, and smuggle clandestine Old One artifacts past the Servitor suppression fields. A full player-driven economy drives the galaxy, and all the best stuff is made by players. Economic balance is preserved with local goods markets.
