:Atum is a barren planet located within the third orbit around Amun-Ra. While Nemty and Nefertum service the energy needs of the system, Atum operates as both a major supplier of foodstuffs and civilian shipbuilding. The agricultural industry on Atum is empowered by the fact that nearly all water stores for Nemty and Nefertum are located on the surface of Atum, where the lower gravity and softer crust makes it cheaper and easier to set up in underground water storage and greenhouse facilities. Nearly all of the food produced by Atum is directed to the rest of the inner system, or sent off to the barren satellites within the system. Indeed, Atum has an exclusive food supply contract with virtually all of the military colonies within Amun-Ra. As for the shipbuilding side of the economy, Atum specializes in the production of the vessels carrying antimatter to and from Nemty and Nefertum, as well as in the repair and scrapping of such ships far from the heavily-populated worlds deeper within the system.
