Question about Insurance in ED Lore

[Dad Rock]

From what I've been able to read here, the Pilot's Federation loans you the money for your first Sidewinder. Are they also the insurance underwriters for the game?

It's probably a dumb question, but does anybody know who we actually pay the insurance money to "in-game"?

I have been looking for the same answer.

Looks like "Hell Razor5543" has it covered here:-

Seems that if you have enough balance to cover the rebuy then you are good to get a replacement, but you loose the cargo, so don't carry too much stolen goods around with you. [where is it]

Originally the idea was to have multiple options for insurance and credit providers but this got dropped for the initial launch. I think that now insurance is either provided by the Pilots' Federation or by the Bank of Zaonce.

Bank of Zaonce? Yet another little bit of game lore I will have to go and explore. Thanks for that, Commander!
