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.
