The rise of the Pan Solar Consortium Credit reflects the Pan-Solar Consortium’s economic leverage. By Identity Abyss, corporate scrip replaced traditional currencies in off-world colonies, and the PSC standardized it into the PSCC, backed by collective corporate assets (e.g., SolEx’s minerals, NiteLife Energy’s energy). Its universal adoption is less a triumph of policy and more a necessity—colonies are too intertwined to function without a unified currency. The PSC enforces its stability through its Enforcement, punishing noncompliance with isolation. This cements the PSCC’s dominance, even as the PSC itself remains a hollow shell.
