Interstellar ~~Factors is a station service that allows players to pay off/clear outstanding~~ [[~~Bounty~~|~~fines and bounties~~]] ~~(given that~~ the ~~player does not have any~~ [[~~notoriety~~]]~~<ref name=~~":0"~~>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/407608-Crime~~-and~~-Punishment-in-Beyond-Chapter-One Crime and Punishment in Beyond Chapter One]~~

Interstellar Factor contacts are generally found in [[Star system|systems]] with low security. To identify systems with Interstellar Factors, open the [[Galaxy Map]] and set it to map mode. Then, select "Services" from the drop-down menu and check "Interstellar Factors". Systems with stations that have an Interstellar Factor contact will show up as a green dot.

Both of these suffer from a fixed increase (for fines and bounties) or decrease (for claiming bounty vouchers and combat bonds) of about 25% in price, making it less profitable to earn money from bounty hunting or mercenary work in a different system from where that ~~work was done, and more expensive to pay off fines from~~ a ~~system you are not currently in, however it makes it more convenient to claim or pay off large amounts of fines, bounties, and combat bonds from different systems~~.

External tools such as [https://www.edsm.net/en/search/stations EDSM's station search feature] can also be used to find stations with Interstellar factors by selecting Interstellar Factors Contact under the "Facilities" filter.

Interstellar ~~factors contacts will appear most often in low security [[Star system|systems]]~~, ~~however~~ [[~~Station|stations~~]] ~~with interstellar factors have been found in medium security and anarchy systems. To find systems with Interstellar Factors Contacts in game, open the galaxy map and set it~~ to ~~map mode. Then, select 'services' from the drop-down menu and tick 'Interstellar Factors'.
