Yes. Each discarded game card pays for one point of a development’s cost or a non-military world’s cost; discard them face down. The Develop bonus reduces the development payment by one card, while the Settle bonus gives you a card after placing a world (pp. 4–5).

Normally, a military world must be conquered by having Military equal to or greater than its defense; you then place it without paying. A Contact Specialist can instead let you pay to place certain military worlds, but Military strength does not reduce that payment (p. 5).

No. You can sell one good only if you chose Consume: Trade, and you must sell it before using your consume powers. Trade is part of the Consume phase, not a separate phase (p. 6).

Consume powers must be used if possible, and each good can be used for only one power. You choose the order of powers, but once you invoke a power, you must resolve it fully when its rules require it; you can’t interrupt it to use another power (p. 6).
