====Berke's Peerage and Nobility====
*Imperium (500) x General Knowledge (3) x Broad Topic (6) + 10% for live updates = 9900 credits

A general guide to all the nobility of the Imperium. Of necessity due to the scope, most entries are very short, consisting of name/age/homeworld, geneology (if non-service noble), Imperial service/awards, current status, and notes regarding official connections to other nobility (Eg. "Despite being on different worlds, the Marquis of Valencia is a vassel of the Count of Barcelona.") In addition, one of the privileges of purchase and annual upkeep is that a noble subscriber is allowed to insert as much information regarding themselves as they see fit. Some subscribers decline to do so while others use it as a virtual blog, inserting reams trivial detail about themselves and their lives. Obviously any such information must be taken as biased and untrustworthy. Updated continually for the latest in noble births, deaths, promotions, and demotions.

====Vonda's List of Scout Adventure Novels====
*Sector (250) x Basic (1) x Specific Speciality (1) + 10% for live updates = 275 credits

The Imperial Scout Service is a popular topic for so-called 'adventure fiction', being viewed as the most romantic and exciting (which is to say dangerous) branch of Imperial service. Enthusiasts throughout the sector maintain a database of the latest and greatest stories and books, providing ratings and reviews on many a new novelist. If you access to this database enough to bother paying for it, you are truly a fan. Updated continually as a labor of love by the fan community.

====Cotsen Institute Archaeological Compilations====
*Sector (250) x Comprehensive (6) X Targeted (4) + 10% for live updates = 6600 credits

Contains the latest books and publications regarding archeology research in the sector. This is a professional-level database containing the latest theories, speculation, and analysis. Live updates bring the very latest in news from the field.

====Tourist's Guide to the Imperium====
*Imperium (500) x Specialized (3) x General (3) = 4500 credits

Maintained by the TAS as a profit-making enterprise, this handy guidebook lists the most spectacular sights for worlds throughout the Imperium. Reissued every five years or so, as good tourist spots are expected to last.

====Black Books Computer Hacking/Cracking Database====
*Sector (250) x General (3) x Speciality (2) x Restricted (2) + 10% for live updates = 3300 credits

Illegal as all hell, this underground database for crackers lists information on computer security throughout the sector. Obviously it's impossible to list every system, but common cracker targets and/or particularly large systems such as megacorporate databases are listed. Due to the constantly changing game of computer security, only the most general information can be listed. (Eg. "This system has nearly unbreakable security on financial records, but inventory records are lightly protected.") Occasionally job offers can be found on recent downloads. Extreme caution should be taken in utilizing data, as the reliability of the information cannot be assured. Updating is considering the responsibility of all subscribers.
