Help required re Slaves

[Krepose Gavayne]

Can anyone please tell me if Slaves (not Imperial Slaves) is available to view as a commodity choice in the Galaxy Map? It looks to me like all the other commodities are listed except Slaves. Is it just my game that's not running properly?

If you can see it listed, where abouts is it placed if not within Other?

Also, if you cannot see it listed, do you know of any way (ingame, not via third party trading tools) of checking where federal slavery is actually being traded, considering that the System Map information cannot be relied upon for accuracy?

TIA

Honestly, no clue, but then slaves don't seem to be the only commodity you can buy loads of but not have anywhere to sell to. I picked up a shipment of battle weapons and quickly found out that 2 of the 3 economies (military/industrial) advertised as buying them actually sold them instead. The third (agriculture) didn't seem to buy them or acknowledge them as a commodity at all. The situation didn't change no matter where I went, or what type of government ran the system. It's as if these commodities exist solely to be used on those bulletin board donation missions, rather than traded as normal. Something that bothered me quite a bit since I ended up selling the whole shipment back where I got it for a small loss. The money was immaterial but the time spent trying to find a place to offload them was a complete waste.
Stick to palladium and imperial slaves is the lesson I learned. Nothing else is worth buying if you value your sanity.
