What Value-base are they using for deposits?

---

Biomass. It's the one thing not easily available in the greater solar system. Energy is, if not strictly free, cheap, metals can be found in the asteroid belt, hydrogen from the gas giants, straight carbon from Venus and Mars, hydrocarbons from the outer system, etc. The single most valuable thing in Fenspace (aside from intangibles like IP) is biomass. Seeds, plants, animals, soil... hell, even sewage has a high intrinsic worth, especially in the terraforming projects. So instead of having a "gold standard" for the currency, you have a "biomass standard."---
