Control Tower: Difference between revisions

In order for the [[Astroengineering|installation]] to maintain the vast variety of life the Forerunners had collected from across the [[Milky Way]] for eventual [[Conservation Measure|reseeding]], a flexible environmental system on the Ark was essential. Working similarly to the output nodes of [[mass-particle replicators]] or the archaic 3D printers of the 22nd century, the towers are capable of generating kilometers-deep environments around them through manipulation of raw materials stored deep within the superstructure of the Ark, meaning all habitable surface area could be covered in an environment to match any life-sustaining planet in the galaxy. Atmospheres, soil and vegetation makeups, bodies of [[water]] or other liquids, and even gravitational conditions generated from the base of each tower could be custom-set in areas as large or as small as needed to sustain collected specimens from a particular planet.<ref name="Control Tower log" />
