Circuit Reticulum

The Circuit refers to the culture, communication and trade routes that connects the human colonies with each other, with Stralea and the Reticulum.

Member worlds are obliged to pay an annual tribute to maintain their particular part of the Circuit. The primary mission of the Reticulum Guard is to safeguard the Circuit.

The Reticulum's city-sized Capital Ships carry goods, people, services, expertise, but also data, mail, communications and mesages.

As the Reticulum expands its exploration and colonisation, it also has to extend the Circuit out in longer branches.

Non-Reticulum colonies sustain themselves by trading through a Circuit planet, but the markup can be prohibitive. Such colonies need to be highly productive to join the Circuit.
