In the absence of any further information I think it might be interesting to begin to get some basic trade/economy information set up in the Anargo sector. Bastardising the GT:FS rules which can be found here is the only really accessible option at the moment. There are, however, some tacit assumptions. If you wish to argue against these - and I'm sure that some will - then go to the other thread. This is for getting some numbers together so that we can progress forwards with the project.
Assumptions
The following assumptions are not exhaustive:
With that said:
Anargo Subsector
Two worlds of the Anargo subsector have been uploaded to the Archive: Anargo and Tryphon. Following the rules presented in the above thread:
Anargo WTN: 6.
Tryphon WTN: 4.5
Anargo GWP: $102,480,000,000,000
Trypon GWP: $46,116,000,000,000
BTN (Anargo-Trypon): 9.5 (Feeder Route, i.e. secondary)
Once more worlds are uploaded it should be able to perform the same calculation elsehwere.
Assumptions
The following assumptions are not exhaustive:
- Calculated warp jumps are possible and, for the most part, fairly predictable. To make an Age of Sail analogy, they are considered to be 'coast huggers', i.e. mostly operating within a single subsector.
- Navigated warp jumps are also (obviously) possible. They are equivalent to trans-oceanic transport (kinda).
- When we refer to 'ships of the Imperium' we do not necessarily refer to the "uber-ships" (kilometer-long monstrosities) that form the backbone of both the Military and Merchant Fleets. Smaller ships are feasible, but only to a 'minimally economically feasible size' which has been determined abstractly based upon the threshold of suspension of disbelief for some members.
- Bilateral trade is assumed, even though more realisticlly the Imperium operates on multi-lateral trade. This is to simplify matters but does not mean that multilateral trade cannot be considered as a part of the trade system created through the operation of bilateral trade (i.e. it can be incorporated, but let us not get mired down with it to begin with).
- No assumptions are being made as to whether this value includes or discludes tithes, although elsewhere it has been the latter.
