It's impossible to know. Even if you use the cheat to gain enough credits, they won't tell you.

Even though the text says 12,000 credits, I'm pretty sure I heard the Melnorme say twleve million instead.

I have about a dozen questions and so do many others so maybe you should start a thread saying "If you could ask the creaters a question about the game, what would it be" or something to that effect. But, I highly doubt they'd answer most questions for the following reasons.
1. They don't know. Many things in the game are just funny little things that weren't important, so they didn't bother deciding what it should be. For example it's unlikly they know what Frungy is (as Chad stated before) because they probably wanted to say the Zot-Fot-Pik had a sport, so they PROBABLY (this is just my point of view) came up with the name, but not the final product.
2. It was meant to be an idea for a future SC version and having not decided if they would one day want to make one or not, they don't want to give away all of their surprises.
3. Because...Because...Well just because.

If you remember talking to the Slyandro they mentioned the 'shaggy ones had a big circular ship even larger than your's' The real question is, where did they stash it for us to find?

That is answered, in part, by the game's finale.

When you first meet the Melnorme their bridge is red. When you're ready to trade the bridge turns purple. For a clue to the reason why, try threatening the Melnorme when you first meet them. Their bridge turns blue. You can ask them why and they'll tell you (for free).
I imagine that their bridge turns purple because it makes it easier to see their trading consoles. *amused look*
For a more convoluted explanation, I also imagine that the presence of the color purple in Melnorme society would also represent the extensive use of logical and analytical ability, which are important skills in trade negotiations, to properly assess the value of trade items to be purchased or sold, and the act of convincing other beings of the importance of the inventory that you wish to sell to them.
I suppose revealing this information would also give you leverage in trading with the Melnorme, for you could always cause your own bridge to emanate colors diametrically opposite to purple, causing the Melnorme's trading ability to be compromised. Which is why it is so expensive, whereas being told the color blue represents gearing for combat is free. (it's a basically a diplomatic way of saying, 'do not screw with us').
But seriously, would you really want to spend 12,000 (or 12 million) credits for this information on how to better trade with them, when you could really just spend all that on their actual wares?
On a side note, I wish you had the ability to purchase those 'trivial and useless facts at a discount' that he offers. I happen to be -quite- curious in trivial things like 'how Frungy is played' and the plot to 'Winky's Happy Night'..
