The Water Preparation Plant does not mine or harvest water itself; instead it relies upon third party water deliveries. The Water Prep Plant enriches water with minerals and trace elements required by various target species. While most life-forms can consume water meant for another species for a limited period of time, prolonged exposure to the wrong type is most definitely not recommended.

Solar Energy Arrays are huge fields of highly efficient solar panels. They function by converting more than 98% of all incoming sunlight into energy, then beaming it into a remote receiver station via focused microwave beam. SEAs do not have any material output at all; thus, no moving infrastructure is required, and the converters can be run totally unmanaged, at least theoretically, for prolonged periods of time. Solar Energy Arrays are most commonly placed in polar orbits around suns, but they can be found almost as often orbiting planets with direct beaming of power to planetary receptors.
