Currency & Pricing Framework¶

The following guide explains the Latinum pricing scale used in our campaign, based on canonical references from the Star Trek universe. It includes a legend for the currency units, reference points from canon, and a proposed target scale for pricing items and services within the campaign.

Units¶

We use Latinum as the standard base currency for all our economic transactions, even though they might not be actually performed in Latinum. It mainly serves as a common reference point for pricing and economic decisions, allowing us to maintain consistency across different contexts and locations within the campaign.

Latinum Units ¶

A breakdown of the different Latinum units and their values, including the block, brick, bar, strip, and slip.
Converter ¶

A tool for converting between different Latinum units, as well as between Latinum and other currencies or resources used in the campaign.

Tools¶

The framework allows a variety of use cases and detail levels, from quick pricing decisions to in-depth economic analysis. The key is to maintain consistency and use the canon references and wealth classes as sanity checks for your pricing decisions.
