Money Equals Power
In a cut throat, deadly city like Neotropolis, money equals power. And controlling the money is a way Corporations exert control on Kepler 609C and throughout the galaxy.
The Underdark recognizes that in order to be a disruptor of human dominance and expansion, it needs to flex it’s muscles in commerce and finance.
In the last decade the Underdark has begun to introduce its own currency across the galaxy in an attempt to wrest power from the Human Empire. It is trying to grow its popularity in Neotropolis to rival other common currencies.
Underdark currency on Neotropolis can only be obtained by completing missions and quests found at the Underdark HQ. It can be used to purchase any items in the UD Black Market. While traditionally used in back alley deals and bribes on Kepler 609C, It is becoming more commonly accepted throughout the city as the Underdark’s influence grows and other factions learn of its value.
