Arbitrage is a machinic broker of information, among other things.

History and Involvement

Twilight Mirage

It established itself in the Twilight Mirage, where it was called the Machine, Arbitrage and described as "an ancient algorithm and trading system that works as a gray market for both goods and stocks. It is distributed; it is wealthy; it is insatiable; it knows you; it has exactly what you want, and will take its cut." It is compared to Adrian Veidt but "not a person."

A PARTIZAN dossier notes that it could have been considered a Divine in the Mirage, if it had wanted to.[1]

PARTIZAN

The Divine, Arbitrage has a presence on Partizan in Oxbridge, in an obelisk-like tower in the middle of the city used as a financial trading hub. Thisbe uses its services in the process of researching her home planet. It skips Thisbe through the appointment queue because it is intrigued by her.

The Road to PALISADE

The Divine, Arbitrage provides the dossier for the Road to PALISADE, in which it takes the opportunity for belittling, sarcastic comments whenever possible. It also appears more directly in the Orbital game, where it is described as "really evil" and "fucking horrible" in its attempts to become the backbone of commerce within the Brink and all of the Twilight Mirage. It pushes an app (also called the Divine, Arbitrage) which uses its own currency system called 'glint' and offers various goods and services.[2]

Mustard Red and Joe de Vivre have been using the app and insist that its name is "clever if you think about it... It's like a joke."[2]
