 +===== Clout and Wealth =====
 +
 +Who says money can't buy you friends?  Levels of Clout can represent having a certain degree of wealth in a particular planet or with a particular group (e.g. "Chips" for Ace's World, or "Tabs" on Mytene).  Players that accumulate wealth will have it represented in the form of Clout with the location they have that wealth with.
 +
 +Wealth may be spent or traded just as Clout is by giving it to other people.  Ultimately, Clout is an abstraction to allow us to have multiple different cultures and economic systems working together in harmony - if in doubt, give some Clout.
