Jita
The most prominent trade hub in the universe, at the moment is, the Caldari Navy Assembly Plant station orbiting the fourth moon at the fourth planet in Jita in The Forge region, the common reference is Jita 4-4 or just Jita.
The average population in Jita varies between 400 before downtime and above 1000 players at weekend prime time.
The daily tradevolume in Jita exceeds several hundred billion isk, making Jita by far more important for traders than all the other trade hubs combined. In comparison, second and third largest trade hubs Rens and Amarr have ten times lesser tradevolume than Jita
The income from the trade in Jita due to taxes and broke fees count to the billions daily, making Jita one of the richest systems in the whole universe.
Past trade hubs
The Yulai system was the the first trade super hub and operated at a universal scale, linked to the sovereign space of each empire faction by a superhighway of gates. Concord decided[1] to close to the superhighway to ease congestion and trade quickly declined. Today it plays an insignificant role in trade.
