OBJECT Galactic Bloodshed OBJECT NAME [0] object -- survey objects the user owns SYNOPSIS object [#objnum] DESCRIPTION This command allows users to survey objects in their possession. Objects differ from ships in that (generally) they cannot go anywhere, and each performs a specialized function. Some low-tech object types are: Space Mirror -- A large, delicate, reflective field of metal which can be aimed at a specific object. When aimed at a planet, the mirror raises its ambient temperature according to the focus applied. When aimed at a ship, the ship will take a certain amount of damage each turn. When aimed at a star, the star may become more unstable. Canister of dust -- When constructed and launched into the atmosphere of a planet, the canister will explode, causing dust to prevent solar rays from reaching the planet and thus lowering its ambient temperature. This may be used for terraforming purposes. Atmosphere processor -- A machine that can alter the atmosphere of a planet to better suit its owner. These machines work slowly, and require fuel to operate. Orders for certain objects (e.g. destination for the space mirror) can be changed with the ``order'' command. Additional information on ships or objects can be obtained with the ``examine'' command. SEE ALSO examine, order, ship, stock, report, tactical
