Launch a satellite into orbit around Planet to utilize space-based solar power.
Each Orbital Power Transmitter increases the energy output of all of its faction’s bases by +1. The energy bonus is halved for bases without Aerospace Complexes. A base can utilize one Power Transmitter for each unit of population.
Power Transmitters can be destroyed by Solar Storms on Alpha Prime or by other factions using Orbital Defense Pods.
Can only be produced by bases with Aerospace Complexes.
The launch of a faction’s first satellite enables them to map all unexplored portions of Planet.
