Distress Reek (zone)

Central to all energy consuming operations, Ion Cells and Plasma Cells are mass-fabricated in huge numbers in the Cell Fab Matrix. The highly-sophisticated production lines are run autonomously and fully automated to increase throughput and reduce the risks of radioactive contamination to workers and engineers. Upon detection of system failures or for scheduled system maintenance, the Cell Manufacturer Complex must first be brought to a complete halt before any servicing be attempted.

Much like a smaller version of the ATF (Arms Tech Fab), the Arms Tech Supply is sub-contracted to manufacture specialised weapon system components. Security considerations aboard the ATS platforms are as strict as those of the ATF.

The H2O Additives Facility (more commonly known as HAF), uses distilled water from various sources and enriches it with minerals and trace elements as required by the appropriate target species. Most life-forms can consume enriched water meant for another species for a limited period but prolonged exposure to the wrong mixtures is not recommended.

The materials manufactured here are not only used in the construction of space installations or vessels but also for building structures on planetary surfaces. Regarded as a low-tech operation within a high-tech environment, the Metalworks Yard is an indispensable part of the general construction industry. It is usually operated without the aid of any advances AI or AGI.
