As such, in a lot of places its horribly primitive.
This is true, im merely pointing out that you dont have to be unneeding of resources to be an intergalactic capable community. There are plenty of other examples. Star trek for one. Half of voyager is spent needing to gather supplies, food, fuel, repair material, etc. I know, I know, voyager sucks, but that doesnt change the fact that the magic cure all replicators cant handle everything. Much of the federation may be a post scarcity utopia where they dont even need currency, but the rest of the galaxy isnt, hell lets leave voyager and go to deep space nine where we learn the entire cultural backbone of the ferengi is the Great Material Continuum. Trade is life, profit is all, and they have need of just about anything because according to their outlook, someone somewhere needs whatever you have to offer.

Thats both of the two mainstays people think of when they think sci fi. Both have a robust economy, both engage in plenty of trade, both require raw materials to make the things they sell. Deus could go to either and turn a profit. And we have absolutely no reason to think the grrl power universe will be any different.
