"What's the final amount, by the way? I wanna do the tally and see what our margin was."(OOC - As I understand it, any transaction using Imperial Credits can be undertaken whether there's a local account on that particular world or not (so long as it's an Imperium planet). So say the Zax has a ship account based on the Imperium world it was registered in the Imperium at...we'll say Formulhaut or something. They then travel half a sector away to Rigil and incur 700 credits of fees, and sell a cargo for 5000 credits. Well, their account isn't on Rigil, but because it's Imperial credits, the merchants don't really care. The account adjustments will be X-boated back to Formulhaut within a few weeks. If there's been any funny business, the Imperium will cover the transaction (they basically insure their own currency in this way), and then go after the Zax for fraud. This kind of thing is necessary, since merely having a local account active wouldn't really help protect the starport, and it would mean an incredible hassle for the starship, as their funds would be dispersed over potentially hundreds of different planets. If they wanted to pay their refit fees, they might have to do dozens of account transfer orders...all of which would take a different amount to complete because they'd all be varying distances from the refitter's world.)</blockquote>
