    • @NoobNoobNews
      @NoobNoobNews 3 роки тому +18

      @@VishtheFish101 Let us not forget the smuggling routes will become a primary asset. While the cost of death sticks will increase, the cost of all goods will also increase. Smugglers will hold localized monopolies on the shipment of goods and essentials such as Star Toilet Paper, Star Milk, Star Eggs, and Star Weapons in a galaxy consumed by such a widespread Star War. More money can be made shipping low-risk legal goods than high risk illegal drugs. This will result in a constricting of drug supply as well as increased demand for drugs as the star war rages on, displacing trillions into poverty. Smuggling operations will grow into legitimate shipping corporations and pirates will be less inclined to interfere, as armed cargo transports will be in high demand. Former pirates with heavily armed cargo vessels will probably be offered pardons if they run legitimate trade routes during war time. Letters of marque may even be a thing. War is known to have the side effect of eliminating piracy and organized crime as both require a robust and stable peacetime society to flourish, as they are parasitical organizations.
