Spoilers are encouraged - they help us track down books. So spoil away, please. But I'm confused over that one sentence - controlling the galaxy economy and making clothes?

[Robert]

ughh lol i know it sounds dumb but ok so if memory serves right the guy goes from almost a nobody to a thug , and if i am correct moves his way threw the organization to the top to shadow companys in the most part taking over most of the galaxys trade becoming one of the most powerful people to brokering peace with an alien civ where they (pulling hard here ) are bugs and he now has bugs that come out and changes the appearance of his clothes depending on the mood i think, theres a whole lot more on that but thats whats jumping out in my head atm.

Angel Station Angel Station has a brother and sister who are impoverished traders on a small ship, but who manage to make first contact with an alien species that "manufactures" most things biologically, and thus become the most rich and powerful people in human space.

It's a shame it's abandoned - I really think it's Angel Station.

I couldn't understand what Robert was saying at all. Bugs? As in insects, or computer glitches? Can you confirm the part about bugs making their clothes, whatever that means?

[Andy]

In Angel Station the heroes, who had been terribly down on their luck interstellar traders, encounter an alien species that is insect-like. This species starts trading with our heroes, making them rich, and furthermore the heroes get access to servant insects that act like living nanotech - so at the end of the novel, the hero's clothes can be transformed at a whim by the tiny creatures he now controls.
