How is ArcCorp sustaining its population, considering there is no vegetation or water on the planet to support a functioning biosphere?
TL;DRArcCorp sustains its population by importing, at great expense, much of what it needs, supported by the UEE's wider economy and farming worlds, though natural areas may be added later.
Importing, a lot of importing.
It is at the center of commerce of the Stanton system. They got money, and they got a lot of paths in and out.
So yeah, they just import everything they need, which is, I imagine, incredibly sizable and very expensive.
And again, as we've discussed, as ArcCorp is further developed, it will have some natural areas and stuff.
But I think overall the UEE has this kind of interstellar economic powerhouse that does a lot of growing. We have Bremen, our breadbasket, that's shipping out all over. So I don't think every planet is considered in any way sustainable. There are some pretty hostile environments. On Lo, I think, it's got a pretty... Yeah, people living in domes and stuff. And so that's the major infrastructure of why you all have Hulls carting stuff out there, to provide sustenance for all these people living out in the wide 'verse.
