Supplies gathered and stored for over one and a half decades from Nuevo Amanecer ended up supplying most of the construction for Puesto Avanzado Fantasma,
Focus on the newer installation had turned to producing weaponry and cutting edge equipment to best arm the Maltese nation. As a result, production of the station itself had fallen to lower priority. Times hasn't changed, some supplies were much harder to gather and so as per usual capitalist fashion, Chenzo had reached out to the primary external suppliers of goods for things out of direct reach of Maltese hands.

Bretonian ships Purchased from Bowex , jumped from where they were made available by MNS-Fantasia dubbed to be The Three Legs of the Tripod given their essential role in supplying Chenzo's hidden deep Omicron Alpha projects. The ships ability to operate autonomously being a key factor in their selection. The robotic arms allowing cargo to be loaded and offloaded without additional support. A key feature when labour was hard to come by.
The most recent efforts are to expand Puesto Avanzado Fantasma. Construction being in it's final stages. to maximise space and operational capacity.
The same members of the Zoner group who delivered to Commercio Fantasma could have easily been paid extra to deliver these crucial supplies direct, however that would have given away the station's location. Something Chenzo would prefer to keep in the knowledge of only trusted Outcasts. Everything which had made it's way to Puesto Avanzada Fantasma had been done so in absolute secrecy, via these three legs of the Tripod.
Aptly named, the ships bare no callsigns or allegiance, only their base ship names: Ghiaccio, Economo and Acer.Acire
A journey made countless times, making goods required from so far away get to their destination.
The route chosen rarely changed, always at the lowest traffic times. Sensors at all corners within Alpha along with the physical view across the underside of the system, always being watched with powerful telescopes gave a crystal clear view of every window of opportunity to meet minimal encounters from even other Outcasts.
The approach carried out more times than logged, a crucial life line to the operation.
Each pass would check the signal strength and functionality of every tracking beacon placed across Omicron Alpha.
It had never been shared with other Maltese, but this detection system had been in place not just to enable the Shetlands to pass through without question, but as an early warning defence system.
Comercio Fantasma, the place where almost all goods were hauled to for collection onward to the secret Puesto Avanzado Fantasma.
Of course, not all goods came from here. Some came direct from other Maltese instalations
Regardless of goods location, the three Shetlands worked around the clock. It takes hours to complete just one trip, given how far away and how deep into Omicron Alpha Puesto Avanzado Fantasma was.
All of the goods hauled, always reached their final destination
The final delivery for this core upgrade was complete. All that was left for the workers to complete the build before the station could finally operate at intended capacity.
