[[Apex Interstellar Transport]] is a shuttle service that commanders can use to travel to other locations without needing to use a personal ship. Commanders simply pay to book a flight to the destination of their choice, either local or in another system, then take a lift to Apex's shuttle hangar, board the Apex [[Adder]] shuttle, and settle in for the ride. Apex shuttles can be booked both at a Concourse and at settlements. | [[Apex Interstellar Transport]] is a shuttle service that commanders can use to travel to other locations without needing to use a personal ship.

=== Mission Providers === | === Mission Providers === | ||
Mission Providers are minor faction representatives who are seeking to hire commanders for lucrative off-the-books missions. In contrast with accepting a mission through a [[Mission Board]], commanders can negotiate with Mission Providers to try and coax greater rewards from them for successfully completing a mission based on their [[Mercenary]] [[Ranks|rank]]. If a negotiation fails, the commander will have no choice but to accept the default reward if they agree to the mission's terms. | Mission Providers are minor faction representatives who are seeking to hire commanders for lucrative off-the-books missions.
