=== Infrastructure Hub ===

Infrastructure Hubs or I-Hubs are used to upgrade the system, ~~allowing it~~ to ~~spawn more [[Cosmic Anomalies|Combat Anomalies, Ore Sites]], or [[Cosmic Signatures|Signatures]], or allowing~~ the ~~owner to set up more advanced flex structures such as Jump Bridges or system-wide Cynosural Field Jammers. Maintaining an~~ I-Hub ~~costs an upkeep bill which is charged to the alliance wallet~~.

Infrastructure Hubs or I-Hubs are used to upgrade a variety of aspects of the system. These upgrade can be divded into three categories: Strategic Upgrades, Industrial Upgrades and Military Upgrades. Upgrades, which are actual items that must be produced and delivered to the I-Hub for installation, are unlocked by achieving specific System Index Levels.

Upgrades, which are ~~actual items~~ that ~~must be produced~~ and ~~delivered~~ to the I-~~Hub for installation~~, ~~are unlocked~~ by ~~achieving specific System~~ Index ~~Levels~~.

==== Strategic Upgrades ====

Strategic System Upgrades enable a variety of logistical options for the system, allowing the owner to set up more advanced flex structures such as Jump Bridges or system-wide Cynosural Field Jammers.<br>

This comes at the cost of increased upkeep fees while the upgrade is active. The required additional fee per day is listed within the upgrade's information, and the difference for the remaining days of the upkeep cycle will have to be paid upon activation of the upgrade. From then on, the additional cost will be included in the weekly upkeep payments for the system. Deactivating a strategic upgrade will not refund any fees but will remove the upgrades upkeep cost from future upkeep bills for as long as the upgrade remains inactive.

Strategic upgrades rely on the Strategic Index, which is dependent on how long the alliances claim on the system has been unbroken.

==== Industrial Upgrades ====

These upgrades provide [[Cosmic Anomalies|industrial oriented anomalies]], such as guaranteed Ore sites or an increased chance for Data Sites. They rely on the Industrial Development Index, which can be increased by mining ores in the system. The Industrial Development Index will degrade if no mining takes place. Alliance members are advised that it will continue to degrade over downtime and thus they should ensure they have mined enough to cover any degradation when aiming to reach the next index level.

==== Military Upgrades ====

These upgrades confer bonuses to the presence of [[Cosmic Anomalies|combat-oriented sites]] as well as the chance of [[Wormholes|wormholes]] appearing within the system. They rely on the Military Development Index, which can be increased by destroying NPC ships within the system. The Military Development Index will degrade if no NPCs are being destroyed. Alliance members are advised that it will continue to degrade over downtime and thus they should ensure they have destroyed enough pirate NPCs to cover any degradation when aiming to reach the next index level.
