Storage Facilities

Barren environment storage units require a great amount of technology to be reliable and effective. The super structure is made from adaptive materials designed to withstand a wide range of extreme weather conditions, as barren planets have little to no atmosphere and are therefore prone to extreme climates. Likewise, each module of the structure is designed to store different states of matter, further compounding preservation and containment concerns.

The problem of how to safely store mass quantities of harvested materials and assembled commodities until they can be transported to higher orbital facilities was difficult to solve. The issue was alleviated by the invention of the equilibrium cargo silo system, an arrangement of empty canisters suspended in a hollow chamber, which is then carefully filled with a specific type of common material from different strata of the host planet. The result has an effective net mass of zero kilograms, causing the facility to hang eerily at the exact desired altitude.

"At some point, it all comes down to more metal." The designers of this storage site believed this adage above all else. The outer walls of each container are comprised of almost a meter of titanium alloy around a flexible, lightweight tritanium frame, all sealed with a few layers of active nanite coating to prevent microfractures and thermal warping. This combination allows the building to withstand nearly any environmental challenge. To prevent the tritanium supports from decaying, the interior is kept in a constant vacuum, and workers must wear fully sealed atmosphere suits at all times.

Goods and commodities are stored on ocean planets in a similar fashion as on more habitable terrestrial planets. Even though most underwater industrial processes conventionally take place inside residential dome habitats, underwater silos, due to their sheer size, must be stored outside these domes and be able to withstand the immense pressures and environmental stresses at the ocean floor.

Terrestrial storage units require a great amount of technology to be reliable and effective. The super structure is made from adaptive materials designed to withstand a wide range of extreme weather conditions, as temperate planets tend to experience more pronounced seasonal changes. Likewise, each module of the structure is designed to store different states of matter, further compounding preservation and containment concerns.
