Gold Pod

The gold pod can carry money and contraband. You can offer the contraband for sell to a planet or to an enemy base. If you sell to the planet the contraband will be offered to all the races that have a base on that planet. Only races that have a demand for a unit of contraband will suffer side effects from the contraband sell. The money that you earn will be transferred to a nearby base or ship by secret means. When a contraband item is sold to a base or planet it may have rather odd effects on the colonists and natives on the planet. Their happiness will increase, but so will crime. Rouge elements may increase in numbers

The contraband will not only effect the colonists on the planet that the items are being sold on, it will effect the surrounding planets as well.
