how does Sol get an infrastructure failure?

What we reached the budget ceiling of 200 billion credits?! I can believe that we already managed to hit 300 billion in the budgets, if we are not careful, at this rate we are going to shatter the 600 blillion credit ceiling we put on our self. Thankfully we were able to keep this years budget under the 10 trillion credit mark. That was close.

They can just print more money from Borann.

This is what happens when you're a corporate society which gives critical infrastructure maintenance to the lowest bidder, who then spends most of that bid on a new Orca for the CEO and sticks a new coat of paint on the cheapest fourth-hand power generators they could find.

There will of course be a full enquiry, and companies are busy buying up Congress representatives in anticipation.

I'm sure I've heard this before...

And it's ridiculous that any amount of players could even dream of disrupting Sol. It should require every active player attacking to do it.

There are some systems that seem to have a failsafe when trying to affect the bgs. Multiple times ive had the system im working in go from a week away from war for controlling faction to being in infrastructure failure and dropping to the bottom spot while previously seeming completely unopposed.

Well you know, Sol system is kinda special place, so that causes some orbital friction for space stations. Sometimes they crash into the skydome. And then there are sea monsters in the surrounding Okeanos. Sometimes some water just falls down into starports, splashing onto them, causing oxidization on their ion thrusters.

In the midst of a global pandemic that has shut down economies around the globe you ask how Sol can suffer a failure?

A tad bit hyperbolic to say that economies have been shut down. A system wide infrastructure failure sounds even more improbable occasion in 34th century world that has 23 billion inhabitants and is a capital system of a major galactic superpower.

Which economies?

Solar storms are just as likely in the 34th century as they are now.

Sure, but if we intend to actually colonize the solar system, there has to be a solution to protect technology from them. The technology must exist already in 34th century as there are systems colonized in the bubble that have apparently far more active parent stars, or even multiple.

But if we assume vulnerability to solar storms, they couldn't strike systemwide. One station? Maybe. Everything from Sheffield to Neptunian moons? Not really.

Maybe all the workers died early deaths due to the steady erosion of workers rights before that, and now all they have are lawyers, people who vote against their own interests, career politicians, and people who inherited money and think themselves above manual labour?
