Information

Megacorporations wanted to maintain their monopolies “efficiently” in their respective economies. The key to this was logistics. Energy and raw materials, manufacturing and assembling, production and consumption—all these processes, spread across the Earth and Orbit, needed to be combined into one and managed as a whole. It was then that a large-scale global fulfillment system was created.

On Earth, Hypertubes played a major role. Hypertubes are just as the name suggests: giant tubes that transport cargo at high speeds. Magnetic levitation tracks were placed inside the inner walls, allowing cargo platforms to move in all directions. It must have been a magnificent sight to see tens of thousands of cargo platforms zipping by like bullets.

Like other relics of the past, the Hypertubes are now in ruins. However, it is said that some sections are still operational. Rumor has it the entrance is in the west of the Great Desert. You could use it to quickly move to a location of your choice by following the tracks—but it also means you’ll have to take the risk of flying face-first into a pile of scrap metal.
