(Hub) One of the earliest-settled human colonies in the Hub worlds, settled in the first wave of human expansion to the stars. At the time of the Veran colonial venture it was already becoming dependent on resources from its own colonies, degraded by overpopulation and resource exhaustion. Its technological expertise and political importance kept it viable for another few millenia as a 'hive world', but it is in decline and will probably be abandoned as soon as its planetary government can locate and/or terraform a new planet.
Industry:Literature
Food-production technology based on terraform biologicals, using tissue cloning and artificial proliferation induction for animal products and grow-vat arrays for plant products.
Industry:Literature
One of the two oldest human colonies, 5,700 years old.
Industry:Literature
A small portable field generator that creates a barrier, ranging from a hemisphere to a complete enclosure, preventing atmospheric molecular exchange--thus, when used in full-sphere mode, a powered oxy rebreather is required. Most commercially-available models have a safety shutoff that trips when internal CO2 registers above a maximum threshold.
Industry:Literature
Enclaves within or associated with habitats that are specifically engineered to provide a largely self-sustaining but limited ecosystem of terraform or exotic life. Mostly for recreational and research purposes.
