Known as the Shadow Trade in the fantasy setting. They offer goods and services that are illegal or frowned upon in the nations and may sell things that the trade guide try to regulate or monopolize. --- When you need unlicensed/illegal weapons, clandestine transport, or illicit information; you’re going to need to deal with the black market. You’ll need to find a [[Broker]]. Once/if you do, you can then build a relationship with them over time. You might get a few tidbits of info or scraps of tech at first, but it will take a while before they will offer up the good stuff. The black market exists everywhere in human space and sometimes beyond. Brokers have networks set up almost everywhere. The city of [[Farport 1]] on [[Ares]] has been a hub of illegal trade and dealings for over a thousand years.
