Are there no quarantine procedures with all this planet hopping going on?
Are the people of TMBD not concerned about their station and local planet diversity?
Do they disinfect and decontam their secunits between stations and transit? Do they vaccinate them? 65 day quarantine periods?
People just fling into a wormhole and pop out again without any concern for the ecological and biological balance they may disturb?
Sure sure the alien remnants we all know about them, scary mind-tech invading crystal webs and gray people.
But have you considered how much you could fuck up the oxygen system in a free-floating station if someone doesn't clean a secunit properly and it has some seeds of an invasive fast growing ivy lodged in its data port that fall out and get blown into the ventilation to catch on the side and grow and thrive in an inaccessible area until the oxygen levels start malfunctioning over and over?
