OORP, any trader will do.
In rp, the Xenos are funded by Interspace, in part, and also have a sizable base of civilian supporters. The 'Xenos' that you see in space are merely the elite, the fighter jocks and so forth...They've a massive support structure, as any faction that is capable of fielding any fleet must have, and are 'poor' only in comparison to other factions. So, they're mostly funded by a grassroots, and possible Interspace funding initiative. There are rumors about the Hogosha supporting them, as well. Of course, the Xenos wouldn't know any of their money was coming from the Hogosha.
