EXTRA STORAGE
It’s important to keep room in your cargo hold for items you’ll acquire
during your adventures. A full hold means leaving things behind, and you
never know when you’re going to find that powerful artifact! Fortunately,
you have some extra storage space to store your belongings. You can access
it at any space station.
