It expands a system’s garrison and grants you an increase in Manpower from Food produced in a system. This also allows you to quickly get another system improvement which is called Exotic Rations. Thanks to that you can quickly regain a lost citizen without an impact on that system’s economy.
This project is useful in crisis situations and in overpopulated systems with a high Food production. You can use a special project called Chain Gang Program that “consumes” one population unit in a system and converts it to 300 Manpower units. Fleets can resupply their Manpower a little bit during a turn but this process is much quicker in a friendly system. However, blockades and invasions stops all resupplies. Manpower simply appear in your territory, they don’t have to be transported by ships like migrants. If a system needs to resupply a garrison you can notice a half-transparent ring around that system which gets filled by taking the Manpower from the overall pool that you currently have (4). In each system, under FIDS indicators, you can check the garrison’s status presented in percentage and the number of armies that are stationing there (3). The Manpower value is increased by producing Food on your planets, you can see the values from every system (2). The maximum number increases with every system owned. Below, you can see how much Manpower is used to resupply fleets or systems. On the Military Status screen, in the side panel, you can see how many Manpower you currently have and its maximum number (1). If you see a character with a planet/system icon then this means that this is a system garrison and a space ship icon means that this is a ship crew. You don’t need to create separate units that are used for invasions. When a battle breaks out the Manpower is used to make squads. Even if you don’t have any military goals you need a certain amount of Manpower – they are necessary in producing scout or colonizing ships. If you are out of Manpower you can’t build new ships and you can’t replenish your garrisons in systems or make invasions. Ships with a full crew do better during space battles. The Manpower is required to operate your ships as its crew, they are the core of the defense and invasion forces. If you played the games from Europa Universalis series (or similar) you can quickly see the similarities. It determines how many soldiers you have on duty and in reserve. Manpower is the numeric value represented by the icon with 3 people.
