Their vanguard laboratories ran the most dangerous projects in the world, while their databases preserved cosmic mysteries that had nearly touched the boundaries of reason. Even the tiniest technological products leaked from the Black Dot logistics network could sell for astronomical prices on the black markets of various star sectors. Under normal circumstances, all those secrets were protected by fearless clone legions, swarms of intelligent drones, and layers of fortress artillery.
