Thaler

Overview

• The Thaler is the core currency of the frontier
• Thalers can be exchanged both digitally and physically - similar to traditional currency

Brief History

Soon after Phoron was discovered and true interstellar expansion began, several mega-corporations decided to introduce a new form of currency known as the Thaler. The Thaler, named after a large ounce-sized silver coin minted by the Holy Roman Empire, became the gold standard for interstellar exchange. Transit companies and government authorities alike adopted it to use as a measure of expenses when referring to travel within bluespace. In theory, one Thaler represents one second of flight in bluespace and thus became increasingly more valuable in places where bluespace was frequently used. The currency is precious in places like the frontier - however - its value depreciates as you travel closer to the core worlds, and as a result, should be exchanged into a more conventional form of currency.
