PLANET TYPE C - GLACIAL
Federation economic rating: 60 credits per colonist group

Glacial planets are universally renowned for their amazing fighter production
rates. The extreme cold allows for enhanced precision in the manufacturing
process.

At optimum worker levels, glacial planets can churn out over 125,000 K3-A
fighters in a single day. However, this planet type's extreme cold makes
refueling difficult, so fighter bases can handle only 10,000 operational
units. Tight export deadlines must be maintained in order for production to
continue uninterrupted. Therefore, the Federation rating of 60 credits per
colonist group is extremely difficult to achieve.

Since glacial planets cannot rely on planet based fighter squadrons to defend
against attack, they must rely on their high capacity shield generators
(which can be constructed in only 16 days), and their moderate quasar cannons.

Properly managed, glacial planets have the greatest production potential in
the universe.
