The war continues. Reyab Corporation has adapted Maar's geothermal operations to meet rising demands for materials and weapons, creating the Solar kit. This includes a thermal-powered suit and firearms treated for heat absorption and durability but offers no more protection or power than standard equipment. Despite supply shortages, Reyab's innovations allow the Solar kit to convert thermal energy into propellants, reflecting their focus on sustainability. The Colonists, seen as a minor threat, have stolen—or reclaimed—several blueprints, including the Solar kit from Maar's artifacts.
