[ Races, Racial Characteristics ]

Your race can maintain some form of telepathic communication over short ranges, allowing them to disseminate information quicker and better than others.

For every full billion of inhabitants in a system, a single fleet with its home port in that system gains a +● bonus to a single defensive rating. Every fleet can only gain a single bonus point in this way, but having multiple billions allows you to improve more fleets.

The placement of the bonus point is set when the fleet starts using the home port. (Note: this makes it possible to redistribute the bonus point by putting the fleet to inactive, and taking two turns to redeclare the home port.)
