Yes, it is a bit arbitrary.
There is also Gem Trader from the Xeno Entertainment tech as well as Hyper Silicates Trader from the Interstellar Survey tech, I believe.
That said, I made a mod that created 3 new techs that enable a total of 12 new missions to flesh this out.
I would provide you the link, but I realized in writing this that I updated the mod for myself to reflect changes to the game but have not updated it online. I will update the mod later tonight and post a link to its forum post here.
