Maintenance
Consumed continuously to keep the facility running. Starve it and it degrades.
SuppliedArmored terminals flash with real-time prices, traders barking orders across the alloy-plated floor. Every deal closes fast — the Fleet doesn't tolerate inefficiency.
StarvedNot today. Half the terminals display error codes, and cipher verification crawls. Traders resort to handshake deals in the corridors, which the Fleet pretends not to notice.
Upgrade Chain
War Market has no upgrade path — it is built once, at this level.
Lore
In the Crimson Fleet, commerce is war by other means. The War Market runs on intimidation as much as credits — but the prices are fair, because the Fleet needs suppliers alive. The trading terminals are reinforced with alloy plating, and every transaction is cipher-verified.
