Energy Grid  
Progenitor factions do not engage in commerce with humans. However, their experience with recycling does provide them with an Energy Grid at each base. Each Progenitor base facility is connected to this grid; every two base facilities generate one energy added to the base total, rounded up. Every two Secret Projects generate five energy added to the base total.

Nerve Stapling causes widespread disaffection among Progenitor citizens, resulting in the shutdown of the Grid for a limited time.
