- Furthermore, these facilities are not even limited to one kind of environment. They can be located on vacuum-based space stations to terrestrial planets and more...
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Most data repositories are heavily guarded and anyone who can acquire such information holds great value.
- The Major Race powers and nearly every Pocket Empire would pay dearly for such information.
- The AAB was a very well-known series of data repositories originally created by the Ziru Sirka and treasured by the later Second and Third Imperiums.
