Targovi travels from Imhotep to Daedalus in his "...battered Moonjumper..." (p. 216) to sell:
Tigery cutlery, tapestries and perfumes;
Seafolk underwater art;
exotic natural products like skins, gems, pearls and "...flavorful wild foods..." (ibid.)
Massive Imhotep produces life edible by Terrans and Tigeries whereas terrestroid Daedalus does not. Poul Anderson examines every detail of interplanetary economics.

And it was Targovi's ambition to attain the freedom of the stars by rising high enough in the Service to rate it. He was not content with the new home the Tigeries had found on Imhotep.
Ad astra! Sean
