I always used the guides from the old FASA book, "Trader captains and merchant Princes."
The Federation rarely, if ever, uses hard currency by the late 23rd century, all your financial information...

From my first foray into the wonderful world of LUG:
The Federation was being invaded by a decent sized group of extragalactic aliens, the Tenarii. One Constitution class ship, Excalibur, faced...
Awww, poor kitty! It's kinda like that old article, "How to bathe a cat." (Fill tub. Get cat. Put cat in. Bandage wounds and get cat off of ceiling.Put cat in again. Reattach nose. Get cat off...

The caption: "It feels so good when you squish them!"
THe Tribble: "Eek!"
