Energy Credits

Energy Credits are a form of currency used in the Amaranthine Sector's energy economy. A single Energy Credit (1 EC) is considered equivalent to an amount of energy, measured in megajoules, determined by the Consortium's energy market. Transactions are timestamped with the current MJ value at time of sale to assist in bookkeeping, though civilians making personal purchases rarely have to consider exchange rates.

Utility

Units of EC are represented either digitally (such as on a card or chip), physically (through local coinage or paper money), or directly (via portable energy storage mediums). Exchanging EC is easiest through the latter, as this only has to pass ISC scrutiny once.
