Maintenance
Consumed continuously to keep the facility running. Starve it and it degrades.
SuppliedThe trade patrol officer reviews manifests with practiced efficiency. Violation notices are issued promptly, fines collected electronically, and the filing cabinet is only slightly overfull.
StarvedThe filing cabinet lost a drawer. Manifest reviews are backlogged, and the officer has started prioritizing by cargo value — a practical choice the Federation's compliance department would not approve of.
Upgrade Chain (3 tiers)
| Tier | Facility | Build Cost | Build Time | Labor | Power | Life Sup. | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| L2 | Federation Enforcement Bureau | 85,000 | 300 | 150 | — | — | 4 |
| L3 | Federation Trade Authority | 200,000 | 400 | 250 | — | — | 5 |
Each tier is built by upgrading the one below it. Cost, build time and power draw climb with the tier; the recipe it runs stays the same.
