Just adapted good idea elsewhere in new setting.<br/><br/>I expanded the above writing so that the start is what Cartel<em>was</em>. It is now wasteland kind place because of abusive mining of the crystal. I am fine the crystals are dumped down so that it allows make portable energy weapons and each crystal does not hold infinate amount of energy but it has damn lot (brand new energy weapon can last generations without failure and so C-Materia energy weapons are often recycled whenever possible). Also added Cartel is bit leading manufacturer in energy weapons/shields/tools (makes sense in that as they provide the crystals they overtime have build their own manufacture facilities and lead own funded research for new inventions in regards C-Materia).<br/><br/>Aspects were; people having superior genetics (only small percentage can achieve somekind supernatural prowess in fitness which can be duplicated with cybernetic implants), Corporations themselves is aspect as they are greedy bunch and they eagerly spread influence around in cluster. Also no doubt they already work ways to keep themselves alive once last C-Materia has been mined off from Cartel.
