Though society in the Solar Echoes
universe has completely converted to a cashless system, many
governments across a number of worlds in the Union have been
considering reverting back to a cash-based system. While armed
robbery upon businesses and banks is far less common than in the days
of cash, digital theft has risen to staggering levels, and these
silent crimes have jeopardized anyone connected to the Stream in some
way. Efforts are continually being made to engineer information
networks to isolate and control data exchange in order to prevent
hacker intrusions. However, systems are becoming frustratingly
difficult to use for the average citizen as a result of the
restrictive security measures. Pre-loaded data chips with varying
limits of Credits (the currency used across the Union) have seen
increasingly popularity. However, the downside to the pre-loaded data
chips is that personal theft is again on the rise.
