The '''Barteinder''' is a contact found in [[Concourse]]s across the galaxy. Although ostensibly tasked with serving drinks to patrons of the Concourse bar, Bartenders offer two off-the-books services to [[commander]]s: [[Components|Component]] bartering, and paying [[Credits]] for both legal and illegal Components, [[Goods]], and [[Data]].

If a commander is in need of a specific [[Components|Component]], they can ask to barter with the Bartender. This involves trading Components for "Barter Value", and then spending the accumulated Barter Value on the desired Component. Each Component traded in is worth a fixed amount of Barter Value, with some Components being more valuable than others and therefore granting more Barter Value when traded in and costing more Barter Value when purchased.

Commanders who have acquired legal and illegal Components, [[Goods]], and [[Data]] that they have no other need for may sell them to the Bartender under the table for [[Credits]]. Unlike the [[Commodities Market]] or a normal [[Black Market]], the Bartender's prices are fixed. Bartenders will also refuse to buy any illegal items unless the local system is controlled by an Anarchy minor faction. Components are typically worth relatively few Credits, while most Goods and Data are much more valuable.
