• The Buildings

This is an universal building which produces a small amount from each type of resource. It also generates some industrial and research points.

It is the ideal building for a newly colonized world before it is necessary to invest in buildings with higher complexity.

The only way to achieve knowledge goes through the research station. All the research stations of an empire work together as an unit on one project at a time.

It is very seldom that the surface of a planet is wasted for research. S.E.C.C.T.S. usually favor using the orbital structures for this purpose.

Production of small parts and semi-finished products are the major tasks of a factory belonging to any race. Their industrial performance speeds the process of building and ship construction up.

The assembly lines of factories cough up all the necessary subassemblies for the construction of buildings and space ships.

The module factories are responsible for the assembly and the calibration of the ship drives. This is why the quality of the drives produced here is higher than those from a standard factory.

Precisely built modules can for example provide more powerful protective shields or allow invasion modules efficiently and faster. While the production cost stays the same the modules get better!

Whoever wants to build more than just a transporter or a trade ship will need a facility to produce weapons. Due to the highly specialized equipment used in this factory, the quality of the weapons assembled here is much higher than those produced in a standard factory.

High quality weapons cause more damage, have an extended range and can deal damage to enemies that are in close range.

Within gargantuan processes the huge parts used to assemble the outer hulls of space ships are created here. The specialization allows these factories to build hulls that are more resistant than the ones from standard factories.

Ship hulls which are built with attention to detail are a lot more stable in the battle.

Ships which are assembled on a planet with a T.U.C. come with some experience points.

The T.U.C. provides the technology to reconfigure S.E.C.C.T.S. units with top-of-the-line tactical microchips of the next generation. The prime advantage of this technology is that the basic tactical knowledge is already provided to the neuronal network of the symbiont-individuals and hence can be directly put into use instead of these having to experience it on the field first to put it into action.

The I.C.T. administer, create and destroy Credits and hereby provide a flourishing financial system.

I.C.T. is the financial nerve system of the S.E.C.C.T.S.. It allows them to control and keep a perfect record of their financial matters. This way they can avoid losing money unnecessarily to contraband trade and such. The result is a higher liquidity of the empire.

Providing food to the enormous amount of people living on a planet is the major task of these facilities.

A strong military shall be provided with a good meal.

One of the fundamental materials, yet rarely used in its raw form. Through intricate processes molecules are augmented into different types of metals to achieve high end composite and alloys.

The more metal you extract, the more space ships can be constructed and used to bolster up your fleet.

Crystals are used to contaminate and to alloy other materials. Energetic materials such as deflection shields use a high amount of these.

Crystals are used mainly for energy based weapon systems and protection shields. S.E.C.C.T.S. have a high demand on these.

The polymerization of synthetics in connection with other raw materials leads to unusual substances which have a universal application in the construction of new technologies.

Synthetics are necessary and extremely important to produce a mighty force.
