Even though it was extremely expensive to live in the Centerpoint System, plenty of people managed to eke out a living anyway.
Some of the people who lived in the star system were either internal members of the MTA or family members of one. In fact, just like the Common Fleet Alliance, entire families or dynasties emerged who continually brought up descendents to work for the Mech Trade Association.
These were the most privileged residents of the star system. The money they earned from their service to the MTA came in the form of MTA credits.
Often called mech credits, they were almost identical to the CFA's fleet credits. It was as if the two organizations copied each other's homework.
A mech credit possessed an extremely high purchasing power even in the shops of the MTA. According to the current exchange rate, a single mech credit was worth around 3.6 billion bright credits!
"Damn! So high!" Ves cursed when he looked up the figures.
