Contents
Business
Domestic
Home Furnishings
Whether filling a multi-room dwelling with creature comforts, or just a rug to avoid standing on cold metal in a stateroom, all sentients prefer furnishings to make a house their home.
Home Appliances
From the esoteric hover-masseuse to the ubiquitous Insta-Nuker, these are the champions of eternal consumerism. All these products are designed to simplify the life of the buyer, or so the sales pitch goes.
Robot Servants
Trained in the nuances of absolute servility, and having the abilities of a bodyservant and portable data storage unit, these machines are valued accessories for those too poor or too ethical to use human servants.
Personal Transport
Whether dropping down to the local dispensary, or travelling around the planet to visit friends, these wheeled, hover and flight conveyances serve every requirement of the average traveler.
Electronics
Standard PADs
Personal Assistant Devices incorporate functions such as planetary communications, data storage and retrieval, and electronic diary, all in one small, usually hand sized and hand held package.
Premium PADs
While costly, advanced developments in electronics now permit PADs that can be strapped to a wrist or similar appendage, rather than be carried in hand. A holographic projection provides the interface device, rather than hard wiring in the PAD itself.
Consoles
Popular descriptive name for a Central Entertainment System. These systems include wall mounted 2D video screens, holographic projectors, recording and playback devices for audio and visual, planetary communications and the ability to play games over virtual networks.
Luxury
Jewelry
All sentients enjoy personal adornment. Both for the visual appearance alone, as well as to serve as a measurement of personal success. Usually consisting of precious metals and gems worked into fantasic pieces of work by master jewellers. The most famous was Xilothee's Dress, consisting of several ropes of gold and three large gemstones, strategically placed and worn with no other stitch of material.
Pearls
Pearls are formed from the concentric nacre secretions of a mollusc around an impurity. They are usually of one color, but individual pearls of varying colors have been known to exist.
Personal
Personal Hygienics
As advanced as the sentient races have become, they have not escaped the need for a good scrubbing up every once and a while. Creams and balms promise to use the latest advances in nanoscale chemical transport to remove wrinkles and provide superior skin tone, anti-esthers seek out and destroy unpleasant scent particles, and lastly orifice specific probes to prevent or clean up awkward bodily excretions.
Clothing
Clothing of all manner of make and manufacture can be sold in almost any region of inhabited space. Ranging from military unitards influenced by ancient holovids, to the current trends of haute couture, to apparel derived from animals on lesser developed worlds.
Aromatic Scents
Scented oils, perfumes and fragrances derived from various plants and minerals that are pleasing to the senses. Often used for their effect on sentient biochemistry - whether for relaxation, stimulation or eroticism. Commonly mixed with water and delivered by evaporation, though some are applied directly to the body.
IntaTouch
A tactile simulator that provides an Aera with relaxing sensations.
VirtuArea
A wall hanging that projects the illusion of open space.
