Already Ready Already Colony Program

The Already Ready Already Colony, or ARAC Program for short, was a joint venture between the Alliance and the Gudersnipe Foundation. The Alliance refers to the program as Project Mike, and the Foundation used the code-name "Project Pop-Top".

Background

Early in the Succession Wars the Kami had established a pattern. Whenever a solar system fell, they would evaluate it for strategic value. If it was strategically useful or had valuable resources, they would fortify the solar system and occupy any habitable worlds. If there was no value to the system, they would render any habitable worlds uninhabitable(regardless of the local population), thus rendering them unusable by the enemy.

The Coalition forces were in dire need of bases for operation. Supply depots, repair facilities.
