Trade Negotiations are opened when a player resolves the Trade/Trade II/Trade III Strategy Card. Players may then negotiate to swap Trade Agreements with other players. The player that initiated the Strategy Card must approve of the trade (Excluding trades with a Hacan player).
If a trade agreement has been in a Player's area since the start of the game round, they may then use it to obtain Trade Goods (Note: The Trade III Strategy card allows players to use trade agreements they just formed)
Each player with an active trade agreement may receive the number of Trade Goods written on that Card, unless otherwise stated
Each player may not have more than 2 active trade agreements at any time
Any 2 players may only have 1 Trade agreement with each other
Any player may break a Trade Agreement during the Status Phase (Excluding a Hacan player)
Trade Agreements between two players are automatically broken if they initiate a Space Combat or Invasion Combat with each other
