Trade Hub

The Trade Hub is your empire's income engine. Each owned system has one. It produces Credits, which pay for your fleet's upkeep.

What it does

Each level produces a fixed amount of credits per day, contributed to your empire-wide treasury.

Costs and trade-offs

• The Trade Hub costs palladium and iridium to build and upgrade, like any other structure.

• It draws Energy each tick. Your Reactor has to keep up.

• In an energy deficit, credit income drops alongside your other production. A starved Reactor costs you treasury, not just minerals.
