Re: Paper #06 (EXOTIC RESOURCES) by: Paul Zimmerman
It sure seems outside the current SEIV system, but it would be Tres Chic! The possibilities would be nearly endless, and trade and piracy would take on incredible importance. Imagine...
... you're the only one with access to 'spice' (Dune). You trade it at great profit, but in truth you do it out of fear that others will come after you if you don't.
Then one day the universe does come after you. Once you've lost the planet though, you've lost your main source of power. The good news? Nobody's trying to kill you now!
I'd love to make some addictive resources. Improves your planetary happiness for a while, but if you ever run out, the riots will bring your empire to it's knees.
