Commodities/Supply and Demand
This is a list of goods which are available to trade on the Commodities Market. Each individual good belongs in a group. Each good tends to be supplied or demanded by one or more categories of star system, e.g. Extraction systems tend to produce Minerals and Metals, while each Mineral may be demanded by Refinery, Industrial or High Tech systems.
The categories of star system given here are based on those on the Galactic Map. There are some additional subtleties - for instance fishing, biotechnology and service industries exist in addition to the main category.

Some systems (if not half) are a mix of different economies. They interact in different ways - not always obvious at first glance.

There are various unique items available from various star systems as well - they increase in value the further you travel from the system of origin.
