It is good food, clothing and furniture, it fits everyone pretty well, but there are very few specialist pieces. In fact, Stranden is the only world producing luxury grade goods. Even so, lives are improved by the diversity of goods, as Lindwyrm cuisine and fashion is introduced to the market, especially the lives of Lindwyrms are improving, as they are being civilized.
>Action 1: Establish Heavy Industry (Metals producer) on Friedrich 2 (frozen planet).>Rename Friedrich 2 to Verk J'tuun.Fenrik society has a clan-like structure of Laains, but land is important for Laains, as they put excess wealth toward building it up and the prosperity of this land. Prosperous Laainland brings great prestige. While the God Engines had made a miraculous peace deal that was enough for all Fenriks to agree to peace, the unfortunate reality of war saw many Laain landless. While many landless Laain are absorbed by Laains who do, Laain J'tuun meanwhile threw themselves into Orkan service. While many Fenriks admire the fertile worlds, Laain J'tuun had an older idea of offworld industry, so they set their eyes upon the 2nd world in the Friedrich system while others obsess over the 1st and 3rd. They are among the only Fenriks who have subjected themselves to life on the inhospitable world.
As Orkan found fuel demand matching supply, Laain J'tuun worked with Orkan to develop the fuelworks, and now that Orkan finds a similar issue regarding heavy machinery, Laain J'tuun strikes yet again. The ice harvesters have revealed patches of soil which are sampled for mineral composition, thus identifying potential dig sites for ore. Soon heavy industry arise on Friedrich 2, though the Fenriks on the planet propose a different name, Verk J'tuun, as Laain J'tuun claim the world as their Laainland. Orkan sees no reason to object, and the new name is recorded into the database. Verk J'tuun thus produce not only starship fuel, but also components like guns, armour plating and targetting systems.
>Action 2: Fox-Ice Panser Mk 2. Improvements in the manufacturing process make it sturdier yet doesn't hinder healing.As Orkan inspects the improved structure in the Schwersyklons, as well as the layering of conventional armour plating on top, they reconsider the Fönix-Eis armour. With far more expertise to draw from, including having Crith engineers on their team, the research department start developing new ways of forging the Fox-Ice, creating better alloys, as well as changing the structures themselves. A shift away from Fox-Ice armour plating to using it for structural pieces instead, as the larger displacements of the new ships give space that can be sacrificed as ablative armour, focusing the Fox-Ice around vital systems, so the ablative armour around those heal during combat, and nonvital systems are repaired once combat has concluded.
