'''Location:''' Jita IV - Moon 4 - Caldari Navy Assembly Plant

The current center of trade in Jita is at Jita IV - Moon 4 - Caldari Navy Assembly Plant. This is the largest trade hub in the game, often having over 1000 players in the system, with consistent traffic in and out of the system. Unfortunately due to its intense activity, trading in Jita is highly competitive. This often results in fairly low profit margins, and is harder for players with low ISK to succeed in due to the richer able to shrug off the low margins by trading in volume. Be careful as well, since if you do find products with decent profit margins (say above 20%), these items flow a lot slower than those with narrower margins.

Which trade hub is second to Jita is debateable (and debated). Some people think Amarr is the second largest trade hub, some think it is Rens. In the end there are 3 major trade hubs beneath Jita.

===Rens - Minmatar Space ~~- Heimatar~~===

===Rens | Heimatar | Minmatar Space===

''~~Rens VI - Moon 8 - Brutor tribe Treasury~~''

*'''Population:''' 8,372 <ref name=QEN/>

*'''Location:''' Rens VI - Moon 8 - Brutor tribe Treasury

~~===Amarr - Amarr Space - Domain===~~

''~~Amarr VIII (Oris) - Emperor Family Academy''~~

~~===Oursulaert - Gallente Space - Essence==~~=

''~~Oursulaert III - Federation Navy Testing Facilities~~''

~~===Hek - Minmatar Space - Metropolis ===~~

''~~Hek VIII~~ - Moon 12 - ~~Boundless Creation Factory''~~

Hek is maybe not really one of the major empire trade hubs but as it is the one closest to the Uni HQ it is listed here as well. It is only five jumps away from Aldrat. The other closest minor trade hub to Aldrat is Pator.

===Amarr | Domain | Amarr Space===

*'''Population:''' 7,894 <ref name=QEN/>

*'''Location:''' Amarr VIII (Oris) - Emperor Family Academy

~~Note that the route from Aldrat to Hek takes you briefly into Eystur~~, ~~which is in Heimatar -- Rens~~'~~s region~~ -- ~~as the last system before Hek. This means you can check prices in Rens, if you want to, before shopping in Hek.~~
