Can someone identify this game for me?

Many, many years ago, when I had a 130XE, I had a massive space game that I cannot remember the name of and I was wondering if anyone here remembers it.

The plot of the game was this:
Earth had discovered an alien artifact that could send spacecraft on a one-way trip to another solar system. So this new system was colonised with Earth regularly sending supplies and communications via this space-based device. One day, the messages and supplies stopped, leaving the colony on its own. However, there are rumors that another one of these artifacts exists in the colony system.
You start the game as a trader, earning money to run your ship while searching for clues to the where abouts of this supposed second artifact.

The game was a 3D (wireframe) space trading game and the most distintive feature of it was the fact that it required 2 disk drives to operate and it came on 4 disks (I think all were double-sided too)

Does anyone remeber the name of this game and who made it?

How much wouldn't you give?

Yeah... I should probably choose my words more carefully.

But since you asked, I would trade any two games from my trade list @:
http://classicgames.talkspot.com

Or come to think of it, any one game from that list and one game from my "Currently not for trade list" on that site.

Money-wise, say... $150 US, or $70 US plus one game from my trade list.
