Thaler

The universal currency of the Coreward Periphery, introduced by a conglomerate of mega corporations and simply accepted as a good standard, if one could call it that, is the Thaler representing a fraction of FTL travel expenses. In theory, one Thaler represents one second of flight within bluespace. This makes the currency precious in the Rim, but less so in the developed systems of Humanity and Aliens, where it is required to be exchanged to more conventional currencies, either backed by fiat or by kilowatt hours of energy.
