Federation Credits

The Federation credit was the monetary unit of the United Federation of Planets. Although it was stated on more than one occasion that the economy of the future was very different, and that money no longer existed in the Federation as late as the 24th century some sort of monetary system still existed and could be accessible to Federation citizens. Some establishments would not accept Federation credits.

Based on group canon, the basic of Federation credits extends to those who have highschool equivalent or less and are unemployed. The basic amount includes a variety of simple food supplements, unlimited water access and plain, nutrition based meals. A minimalist studio apartment will also be provided.
As a person's credentials increase as do their minimum credit allowance. You must be an official Federation citizen to qualify for credits or have been granted asylum.
