The Population Bomb A well-known phenomenon among the AUS is that the further one moves away from Brumas, the more people have sex. The colony on Somn has been tailored especially for this behavior. It is the only colony in all of Akkalah with a Fertility Center, known more informally as the population bomb. Collecting egg and sperm samples from colonies all over the star system (but chiefly their own), the Somn colony uses the Center to create dozens of embryos every day in optimal conditions for their nutrition and development; only the genetically optimal are chosen, and diversity is mapped out for tens of generations later. The requirements for upholding the Center are not particularly demanding. Housing districts across Somn are so damned immense that most are preserved in vacuum; with so many empty residences, homes would simply rot away otherwise. Most Somn colonists hold a job in either professional parenting or education, robbing the hopes for a strong industrial base but providing high-functioning and intelligent citizens to the rest of the State. More and more adults grown by the Center have been disappearing as casualties of the shadow war; in reality, they are being sent out of the star system to colonize a distant world.
