alactic Weapons Output Surpasses All Limits: Supply Drones Back On Track
As galactic frontlines flare out of control, the weapons industry smashes record after record. Polycordis drowns in orders, but not everything can simply be manufactured: shortages of Shadowed Substrate hang like a haze over the factory domes.
According to fresh calculations by The Parabolic Synthe, the galactic arms industry has reached a level that forces even archive drones to rewrite their algorithms. On stardate 4422.335, total turnover among the hundred largest weapon conglomerates soared to dizzying heights, primarily propelled by the ongoing Battle for Klymora and the interminable Litany of the Compressors in the Rift of Rahma.
Demand from Syntheusium, where stockpiles were depleted defending Klymora against Sector R, sparked a frantic collective rearmament. Facilities like the Coreward of Aletheia and the Ascala Laminate reported production figures rivaled only by their meeting schedules. Meanwhile, Orbital Prime doubled its exports at the expense of its own armories-entire ring sections now stacked with empty crates and optimistic briefing notes.
Meanwhile, Hala-Core continues to excel in exporting barriers and plasma forts, even as the Rift of Rahma flickers from persistent unrest. Export revenues from Hala-Core-certified manufacturers climbed 16 percent, barely slowed by the latest embargo from the Council of the Endless Echo. That diplomacy is wishful thinking while purchasing orders keep pouring in appears to trouble precisely no one.
Yet amid all these numbers, a stubborn issue lingers: The Shadowed Substrate, vital in every armored hull, is growing increasingly scarce. According to Archivist Sylaren of the Spiral Dome, the Cerulean Consortium faces a spiral of shortages. 'You can't build tanks on rational conviction alone,' she warns, as her prism-eye flickers uneasily.
The Parabolic Synthe predicts the current trend will only accelerate-until even minute-taking drones opt for armored plating.
