			These services come at a cost, however: the Interstellar Factor requires an additional fee of 25% of the value of any transactions they perform. This will increase the cost of clearing fines and bounties by 25% of their normal value, and will subtract 25% of the value of any redeemed vouchers and combat bonds. The advantage of Interstellar Factors lies in their convenience as a hub to claim or pay off large quantities of fines, bounties, and combat bonds from multiple different systems at once.

	Note that clearing bounties and fines will not clear them from all owned ships that have outstanding fines or bounties, only the ship that is currently in use. Bounties and fines force pilots to access station services through a restricted "Anonymous Mode", which blocks all station services excluding Interstellar Factors, security contacts, the [[Black Market]], and in-progress missions.
