{{Tocright}}'''Trade hubs''' are centers of [[trading]] in a region of space, usually found in a solar system with many gates that serve as a main pass-through center. Volumes of goods traded in trade hub systems far exceed goods traded in other systems in the region, marked by high availability of goods in one place. The volume of goods increase customers to the system, attracting more sellers, increasing volume, and stabilizing prices. In busy regions such as The Forge, a large fraction of trade takes place at the hub, such as Jita. | {{Tocright}}'''Trade hubs''' are centers of [[trading]] in a region of space, usually found in a solar system with many gates that serve as a main pass-through center.

|If your corporation is at [[War Declaration|war]] (as EVE University often is), be cautious around trade hubs, as your enemies will often be lurking there, hoping to catch you hauling valuables unawares.

There are huge trade hubs in Nullsec, but almost all stations are owned by alliances and are restricted to members of that alliance and their allies. | There are huge trade hubs in Nullsec, but almost all stations are owned by alliances and are restricted to members of that alliance and their allies. | ||
Historically, the Scalding Pass region has been a notable exception to this with several ''freeports'' <ref name=freeports>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160222065907/http://www.themittani.com/news/scalding-freeport-zone The Mittani News Website on Freeports]</ref> (everyone is allowed to dock; there are no docking fees; and all services may be used). One of the first freeports has been opened by the alliance ''Phoebe Freeport Republic (PFR)'' at 4-CM8I VI - 4-C0EL0M8 4 LYFE (Scalding Pass). But free docking endangers the sovereignty in sov warfare, that's why its uncommon to open a station to the public in claimable nullsec. | |||
== Wormhole Space == | |||
The [[Thera]] system is a unique wormhole system in that it is the only wormhole system with NPC stations. With it's increased wormhole connectivity, it is usually reachable in reasonable time from anywhere in known space using the bookmarks provided by [https://www.eve-scout.com/ Eve-Scout]. However, Thera is also known for ridiculously overpriced items and the PVP dangers associated with shopping there. | |||
