Its immediate value is -9% Credit Cost, -6% Common Minerals Cost; +15% Production, -5% Wages; +5% Ground Defence.

Player hints
This is an inexpensive path entry. Research it early when you want to test this direction without sacrificing strategic flexibility. Favor this technology when its Troops benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects.
