Rough Guide
The Rough Guide to the Ooniverse has an entry on Xexedi.

The Traders Almanach
| If the limiting factor is the size of the cargo bay, you've got to get the best gain per unit: You can't do anything wrong with buying memory chips here. You've got the choice to move them to Laenin with a plus of 39 Credits per ton, with Reinen, Esbeus, or Xeoner being the second choice in destinations and Terea, Oresri, or Uscela last. |
