Soon to be revealed.
The trade pioneer crew are "trouble twisters" because, before they can establish trade and earn their commissions, they must twist trouble to their advantage.

Kaor, Paul!
And Mercury, in the Solar System, used to be thought a planet with one side permanently facing the Sun. We know now that is not the case.
That list you gave of rare and valuable goods will be good examples of what would make interstellar trade possible or plausible, given FTL.
Ad astra! Sean
