Routelayers

"Clearly defining the paths taken by Routelayers may be a lower level task, but it is one checked and cross-checked by many at more senior levels. It is vital for the overall efficiency of The Alliance, that these routes are optimal."

Background

The Automated Cargo Conveyor (ACC) is a vehicle which is designed to transport raw materials to Factory Planets and then transport created goods from these Factory Planets to the civilised planets and space stations, to then be distributed across the Peacekeeper Territories
The ACC runs along predefined routes and "revolutionised the ability of The Alliance to streamline its previously resource-heavy haulage processes".

Purpose

Routelayers are large industrial vehicles which are designed to:

1. Combine the two elements of ACC Routes
2. Lay the route between planets

The ACC Routes are made up of a combination of faintly magnetic compounds along with gravitationally dense material with electronics inlaid along one side.

Technology

The magnetic compound and the gravitationally dense material are piped into the arms on either side of the vehicle. The two elements are combined immediately before the two routes are laid, creating something like tracks along which the Automated Cargo Conveyor is able to travel.

"Since their introduction, the ACC has a successful haulage rate of 97.54%, and has reduced the fatality rate associated with sending personnel to the uninhabitable Factory Planets from 48.32% to zero."
