Interstar Credits are the units of exchange used by the Melnorme in order to facilitate trade. Since all sales and purchases with the Melnorme are translated into Interstar Credits, they may be described as a type of currency. However, the Melnorme would disagree with this description as they claim to have abandoned currency among themselves long ago.
The following table shows the equivalent value in Interstar Credits of various trade items:
| Commodity | Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Sold by The Captain | BioData | 2 Credits per unit |
| Coordinates of a Rainbow World | 500 Credits per planet | |
| Purchased by The Captain | Fuel | 1 Credit per unit |
| Information | 75 Credits per fact | |
| New technology | 150 Credits per technology | |
| Other | Data on the life in Source | 10,000 Credits/"Gree-dots" |
| Catalog item 2418-B | 10,000 Credits |
By selling fuel bought from the Melnorme at the Earth Starbase, one Interstar Credit can be converted into 20 Resource Units; however, RU's cannot be converted back into Credits.
