The widespread adoption of Commercial Satellites had much the same effect that the introduction of the banking system had on Earth's medieval Europe, inducing a wild and sudden increase in investment and expansion across previously uncharted planet-scape. Yet these advances would have been far more difficult without the creation of the Nutrition Facility, the revolutionary portable ecosystem created to support new growth and which remains a staple of major metropolises to this day.
