Within the local systems around Empire 6, there is a relatively small and volatile stock market. It consists of local businesses and political organizations in the system that look for ambitious investors to buy and sell stocks that’ll help them grow. While every Occupant can see the stock ticker board, the Stock Broker License grants you access to purchase and sell stocks. Funds are withdrawn from your Essex bank account to perform the transaction, along with a small fee.

While it would be considered market manipulation to influence stock prices directly, the Empire has no laws against working with an organization to make it more profitable. If you or your crew invest time and effort into helping a business, their stock prices might just grow as a result!
