Description

Well I was cleaning out the depths of my desk the other day when I encountered a book that came with the original Homeworld game. In it there was this cool little pic that inspired me to do this. Quote from the "Homeworld Historical and Tech Briefing" Inside the cryogenics hold. The pods are widely spaced apart in the buffer solution. Due to the narrow temperature tolerances of the cryo-pod system, a large bath of buffer fluid is necessary to maintain even temperature in the hold. In the event of a total power failure in the hold and spontaneous malfunction of all auxiliary fusion pylons, this system will still support its frozen occupants for six months if the insulated walls of the hold are not breached.
