Xeno Lifeform Trading License
The uncontrolled introduction of non native life forms into a biosphere has caused many problems in the past. However the trade of lifeforms is also seen as vital part of the society:


 * Livestock for food
 * Pets for entertainment and personal expression
 * Zoos and Research

Companies and individuals dealing with lifeforms must hold a Federal Xeno Lifeform Trading License.

Each License comes with schooling, tests and diplomas. The License includes insurances, and permits Union Police to check premises, sales records and sources.

Lifeform dealers must keep detailed record as where the lifeforms come from and where they are sold to.

Each class of license permits the trade of Xeno Lifeforms up to the corresponding Danger Level on a scale of 1 to 10. For example, the XLT-4 license permits the trade of Xeno Lifeforms up to Danger Level 4.
