Maintenance
Consumed continuously to keep the facility running. Starve it and it degrades.
SuppliedDimensional pockets hold stable, items folding and unfolding through spacetime with only brief negotiation. Nothing has ever been permanently lost.
StarvedAt least, when supplies hold out. Pocket dimensions destabilize, retrieval times extending into minutes or hours. Items return subtly wrong or not at all, testing the definition of 'permanent.'
Upgrade Chain
Dimensional Vault has no upgrade path — it is built once, at this level.
Lore
Storage at Nexus Prime doesn't occupy volume — items are folded into stable pocket dimensions tethered to the station's coordinate frame. Retrieval is instantaneous once the dimensional address resolves, which usually takes a few seconds. Occasionally longer. The Voidborn assure visitors that nothing has ever been permanently lost. Their definition of 'permanent' is unsettling.
