OtherSpace: Millennium Business System

Similar to Space code for pilots, crafting code for engineering types, and infomatrix code for computer gurus, the OtherSpace: Millennium Business System provides support for those who wish to play commercial beings within the OtherSpace universe. It should be noted use of this system is not mandatory, and exists only to assist those who work with 'advanced' finance oriented characters, like those who live off of interest or ownership of many businesses.

=Owning Other Businesses= +npc is primarily used for a PC to simply own and provide guidance from afar on a business operation. Most of the action, in this case, is offscreen, and a character receives the net income (or loss) at the end of a month.
