			A broker cannot fetch commodities from other worlds when filling their shipment manifests. This means that commodities has to be stored in the city itself, this can be done with [[warehouse]]s.

This time is equal to the distance to the destination travelling at 2x [[lightspeed]], which is the equivalent of 5 minutes per [[parsec]].

Once at the destination, the shipment's [[commodities]] are added to the storage of the [[buildings]] in the city. Any commodities that exceed the storage capacity are lost after attempting to replace inferior [[quality]] commodities of the same kind.

	Shipments may be plundered if the originating or destination [[sector]] has a [[Pirate_Base\|pirate base]]. Plundered shipments are reported in the [[City_Report\|city report]]'s event log of the sending or receiving city, depending on where the shipment is plundered.		===Pirate Plunders===
			Shipments may be plundered if the originating or destination [[sector]] has a [[Pirate_Base\|pirate base]]. Plundered shipments are reported in the [[City_Report\|city report]]'s event log of the sending or receiving city, depending on where the shipment is plundered. This also generates a [[Diplomacy#Dossier\|diplomatic incident]].

			===Intergalactic Shipments===
			Shipments can be sent between differing galaxies. In terms of travel time, this is calculated as the shipment travelling to the core of the origin galaxy, and then from the core to the target system of the destination galaxy.

			==Trade Agreements==
			A trade agreement is a special type of two-way shipment. They are best used to setup trade between [[empire]]s.

	==Trade ~~Proposals==~~		Trade agreements function similarly to normal shipments from both sides. Except the shipments will not be shipped until both ends have filled the shipment manifest. Once the shipments are ready at both ends, they are sent simultaneously.
	~~A trade proposal is a special type of two-way shipment~~. ~~The proposal~~ will be ~~sent to~~ the ~~destination [[city]] and has to be accepted at a [[broker]] in it before it will be established~~. If the ~~creator of the trade proposal is in chain of command over the recipient city the trade proposal will be accepted automatically~~.

	~~Once~~ the ~~trade~~ proposal is accepted ~~it acts mostly like~~ a ~~normal shipment from both sides. Except~~ the ~~shipments~~ will ~~not~~ be ~~shipped unless both ends have filled the shipment manifest. Once the shipments are both filled, they are sent simultaneously~~.		===Proposals===
			To start a trade agreement, first a proposal will have to be sent from one city to the other city. The proposal has to be accepted at a [[broker]] in the other city before the trade agreement will be established.

	~~Trade~~ proposal ~~are useful~~ for ~~trading with other [[empire]]s. But they can also~~ be used ~~to quickly request~~ a shipment ~~remotely~~ from another city, ~~normal shipments are however more reliable~~.		If the creator of the proposal is in chain of command over the recipient city, the proposal will be accepted automatically. This allows for trade agreements to be used as a way of requesting a shipment from another city remotely, by setting the agreement up to only have the other city send something to the current city.
