Trade in the skins/furs of sapient and intelligent beings. Kamaney Foster was a prominent trader in furs.

Slave Trade

Chatcaavan slave trade:

• Chatcaava acquire Alliance slaves when they can, but many of their slaves are not obtained by the Chatcaava directly but by purchasing or otherwise acquiring them from independent pirates.
