And so, basically, just last week, one of my clients — a Roxildanian, you see — he was flying his starship across the Bethilus Debris Field. It’s kind of an old hunk’o’junk — big and clunky — so it can’t really maneuver. And when he inevitably wrecks the rustmonger, he loses everything. His blade, his rope, his jet pack. But guess what he did have? After all that posturing and denial, you bet he was happy he bought that holopad from my shop.

Items, weapons, equipment, and armor come in all shapes and sizes in the Cosmos, drawn from millions of races through a spectrum of nations and cultures. In the largest of stellar station markets, almost anything can be found, from exotic foods and luxury clothes to refind weaponry and technomantic datapads.
This chapter details various equipment and gear that adventurers may purchase while traveling across the Cosmos, often essential for a traveler's survival in the deadly vacuum of the void. This section also describes certain rules required to run a cosmic game.
