The Plenty System

The Plenty · The Goats · the-plenty

The goat-run system where the Pacifist Network will trade a ship and money for passage to the forbidden gate.

Story so far

The Plenty is the system Porthus intends to reach after buying a generation ship with the funds Rosetta unlocked. There, the goats will receive one of the expensive ships along with the rest of the money in exchange for passage to the "forbidden" gate of the Impetus Point.

The Plenty therefore sits as the crucial middle step in the Open Intellect Pacifist Network's escape route out of the center system, the last dealing with the wider galaxy before the crawler families vanish toward its edge.

Role

The brokers of passage through the galaxy's furthest tunnel node.

Relationships

Porthus — Buying passage from them with a ship and money.
