The Ixarum Trade Security Act
A poor artists' impression of Lord Xul
With the introduction of the Ixarum Trade Security Act, the cost of doing business has risen across several of the Dominion’s outer worlds. Additional credits are now flowing into the planetary treasury of Ixarum IV, and while the short-term impact remains modest, the longer these tariffs endure, the greater their potential to compound.
Over time, the increased cost of Ihiri and Tobrade exports could create new opportunities for other worlds in the Dominion, which may now find themselves better positioned to compete within the Dominion’s internal markets...
Owing to the recent introduction of the Ixarum Trade Security Act, the following modifiers are now in place for the planets of Damolla, Ihiri, Ixarum and Tobrade.
These modifiers will be reviewed again on 05/12/25 to determine whether they should be removed or further adjusted.
Planet | Description | Effect |
|---|---|---|
Damolla | With Damolla's main exports being food and Ihiri and Tobrade being their key market, Damolla has been less impacted by the new Trade Security Act. At least for now. | A -5 modifier to any Wealth roll on Damolla assets. |
Ihiri | Although the Vetrax Corporation is excused from the tariffs, the cost of doing business on Ihiri has increased nonetheless. | A -10 modifier to any Wealth roll on Ihiri assets. |
Ixarum | With credits now flowing into the Ixarum coffers to support local growth, investments on that world just became cheaper. | A +5 modifier to any Wealth roll on Ixarum assets. |
Tobrade | Much like Ihiri, Tobrade will find its ability ot cheaply export has been impacted by the new Trade Security Act. Investors are less likely to build on Tobrade as a result. | A -10 modifier to any Wealth roll on Tobrade assets. |
