Most planets in the Sirius Sector are rich in natural resources, but few are capable of supporting large-scale agriculture. As a result, Food remains one of the basic but essential inputs of the Sirius economy. While a large assortment of Food stuffs are available in the different colonies, Synth Foods has cornered much of the market with its revolutionary Synth Paste. However, the continuing expansion of the colonies guarantees that the ever increasing demand for Food will keep the market open.

There are also rum producers in places like Australia, Fiji, the Pilippines, India, Reunion Island, Mauritius and elsewhere around the world. Light rums are commonly used in cocktails, whereas golden and dark rums are also appropriate for drinking straight, or for cooking. Premium rums are also available that are made to be consumed straight or with ice.
Rum plays a part in the culture of most islands of the West Indies, and has famous associations with the Royal Navy (See:Grog) and piracy (See: Bumbo). Rum has also served as a popular medium of exchange that helped to promote slavery among with providing economic insigation for Australia's Rum Rebellion and the American Revolution.

Vodka is composed solely og water and ethyl alcohol with possible traces of impurities and flavorings. Vodka is made from a fermented substance of either grain, rye, wheat, potatoes, or sugar beet molasses. Vodka's alcoholic content usually ranges between 35 - 50 per cent by volume; the standard Russian, Lithuanian and Polish vodkasare 40 per cent by alcohol volume (80proof). Historically, this alcoholic - proof standards derives from the Russian vodka quality standards established by the Tsar Alexander III in 1894. The Muscovite Vodka Museum reports that chemist Dimitri Mendeleev determined the idealalcohol content as 38 per cent; however because in that time distilled spirits were taxed per their alcoholic streght, that percentage was rounded upwards to 40 per cent for simplified taxation calculations.

Minimal Price: 15 - Whisky (Rare)
Whiskey (or Whisky) is an alcoholic beverage distilled from grain, often including malt, which has than been aged in wooden barrels. The spelling 'Whisky' is generally used for those distilled in Scotland. no whiskey brewed outside of Scotland may legally not have an E although brands from Canada and Japan have in the past tried. The use of no 'E' denotes the Scottish exclusivity in the international law just as 'Champagne' has to come from France. 'Whiskey' (with an 'E') is used for spirits distilled in Ireland and the United States, but therefore exceptions. The Welsh version is wysgi. The name evolved from the Gaelic "uisge beatha" (water of Life). (Other countries also have their 'water of life': see Danish Akvavit derived from the Latin 'Aqua Vitae'.) Irish whiskey is typically distilled three times from a mash of several grains. Scottish whisky, properly called Scotch, is typically distilled twice, either from barley malt alone (see single malt whisky), or from barley malts which are then mixed together. Kentucky whisky is called Bourbon, is normally distilled once, as are most other American and Canadian whiskies. Whiskey is drunk straight, with water or ice, or mixed with other spirits or drinks (such as Rye & Coke and Rye & Ginger Ale). Whisky is sold in several styles. Malt whisky consists of whisky made from 100% malted grain, and malt whisky fom one distillery. rather than blended, is called single malt. The grains used to make malt whisky include barley in Ireland, Scotland Canada and the United States, Rye in Canada and the United States. Pure pot still whiskey is made in Ireland from a combination of malted and unmalted barley. Various types of straight whiskey, sich as Rye whiskey, Tennessee whiskey, and bourbon whiskey are produced in the U.S. which are aged in new, charred, oak barrels. Blended whisky is made from the combination of any of the above whiskies with similar grain whisky or neutral grain spirits, which are much less expensive to produce than the other types of whisky. Blends will almost always identify the the type of base whisky used, i.e. blended Scotch, blended Canadian, or blanded Bourbon. Light whiskey is a style of American whiskey made up almost entirely of neutral grains, with small amounts (typically less than 5-10% total volume) of straight whiskey and sherry added for flavor and coloring. At one time much of the whiskey is produced in the U.S. was 'Bottled-in-Bond' according to the dictates of an 1898 Act of Congress; this practice has been largely discontinued, because one of the requirements of the Act was that such whiskey be produced at 100 U.S. alcoholic proof (50% alcohol by volume). Little whiskey this potent is produced in the U.S. anymore, partially because of the changing public tastes but also because an alcoholic content so high is illegal in many countries, limiting the export market for it.

Light rums are commonly used in cocktails, whereas golden and dark rums are also appropriate for drinking straight, or for cooking. Premium rums are also available that are made to be consumed straight or with ice.
Rum plays a part in the culture of most islands of the West Indies, and has famous associations with the Royal Navy (See:Grog) and piracy (See: Bumbo). Rum has also served as a popular medium of exchange that helped to promote slavery among with providing economic insigation for Australia's Rum Rebellion and the American Revolution.

Vodka is composed solely og water and ethyl alcohol with possible traces of impurities and flavorings. Vodka is made from a fermented substance of either grain, rye, wheat, potatoes, or sugar beet molasses. Vodka's alcoholic content usually ranges between 35 - 50 per cent by volume; the standard Russian, Lithuanian and Polish vodkasare 40 per cent by alcohol volume (80proof). Historically, this alcoholic - proof standards derives from the Russian vodka quality standards established by the Tsar Alexander III in 1894. The Muscovite Vodka Museum reports that chemist Dimitri Mendeleev determined the ideal-alcohol content as 38 per cent; however because in that time distilled spirits were taxed per their alcoholic strength, that percentage was rounded upwards to 40 per cent for simplified taxation calculations.

Minimal Price: 314 - Whisky (Rare)
Whiskey (or Whisky) is an alcoholic beverage distilled from grain, often including malt, which has than been aged in wooden barrels. The spelling 'Whisky' is generally used for those distilled in Scotland. no whiskey brewed outside of Scotland may legally not have an E although brands from Canada and Japan have in the past tried. The use of no 'E' denotes the Scottish exclusivity in the international law just as 'Champagne' has to come from France. 'Whiskey' (with an 'E') is used for spirits distilled in Ireland and the United States, but therefore exceptions. The Welsh version is wysgi. The name evolved from the Gaelic "uisge beatha" (water of Life). (Other countries also have their 'water of life': see Danish Akvavit derived from the Latin 'Aqua Vitae'.) Irish whiskey is typically distilled three times from a mash of several grains. Scottish whisky, properly called Scotch, is typically distilled twice, either from barley malt alone (see single malt whisky), or from barley malts which are then mixed together. Kentucky whisky is called Bourbon, is normally distilled once, as are most other American and Canadian whiskies. Whiskey is drunk straight, with water or ice, or mixed with other spirits or drinks (such as Rye & Coke and Rye & Ginger Ale). Whisky is sold in several styles. Malt whisky consists of whisky made from 100% malted grain, and malt whisky fom one distillery. rather than blended, is called single malt. The grains used to make malt whisky include barley in Ireland, Scotland Canada and the United States, Rye in Canada and the United States. Pure pot still whiskey is made in Ireland from a combination of malted and unmalted barley. Various types of straight whiskey, sich as Rye whiskey, Tennessee whiskey, and bourbon whiskey are produced in the U.S. which are aged in new, charred, oak barrels. Blended whisky is made from the combination of any of the above whiskies with similar grain whisky or neutral grain spirits, which are much less expensive to produce than the other types of whisky. Blends will almost always identify the the type of base whisky used, ie. blended Scotch, blended Canadian, or blanded Bourbon. Light whiskey is a style of American whiskey made up almost entirely of neutral grains, with small ammounts (typically less than 5-10% total volume) of straight whiskey and sherry added for flavor and coloring. At one time much of the whiskey is produced in the U.S. was 'Bottled-in-Bond' according to the dictates of an 1898 Act of Congress; this practice has been largely discontinued, because one of the requirements of the Act was that such whiskey be produced at 100 U.S. alcoholic proof (50% alcohol by volume). Little whiskey this potent is produced in the U.S. anymore, partially because of the changing public tastes but also because an alcoholic content so high is illegal in many countries, limiting the export market for it.

Trading with illegal commodities is considered as criminal act. Crossfire mod contains two kinds of illegal commodities. These two below posted originated in vanilla Freelancer, and newly added were Black Market Goods (BMGs), which are presented on an additional tab. The advantage of trading with vanilla illegal commodities is the fact that they do not have preset routes (but are affected by the Dynamic Economy) and for police officers it is much harder to predict their trading routes (which changes daily).
- Artifacts (Mineable)
Remnants of an alien civilization that existed long before humanity crawled from the ocean. The particulars of each individual Artifact vary, but archeologists and scientists have been unable to determine their function; essentially, they appear to be inert chunks of crystal and metal inscribed with decorative patterns. A thriving market for Artifacts has sprung up over the years among art collectors and the social elite looking for a new status symbol.
