Required Materials, Equipment, and Access
Obtaining Progenitor Cells Progenitor Cells are a Medicine commodity normally produced by High Tech economies.
They can be purchased through ordinary commodity markets, so you do not need to mine, salvage, or collect them as Engineering materials.
Petra requires 200 units in total.
Tip
Because Petra is in Colonia, buy the Progenitor Cells from a current market in or near the Colonia region rather than transporting 200 tonnes all the way from the Bubble.
Market supply changes over time, so use current market information when choosing where to purchase them rather than relying on a permanently listed station.
Player-owned Fleet Carriers may also sell Progenitor Cells when another Commander has placed them on the carrier market. Carrier stock and prices are player-controlled and can change.
See Progenitor Cells for current acquisition methods.
