==== Your non-lethal Vorbis logistics works best in these regimes: ====
# Inside the Solar System - Use comets / asteroids as depots. - Crew or robots go out, drop caches, and come back. - The generational or deep-space ship later follows a route benefiting from those depots.
# Inside the destination system (Alpha Centauri) - Once you get there with advanced tech, you can do the same thing: - seed local comets with resources - set up inner–outer logistics lines.
# For interstellar: forward uncrewed depots, not natural comets - Instead of hoping for naturally convenient comets, you send engineered depot craft: - tanks + reactors + vaults - maybe attached to or built from local rocks when available - These depots are fired along nearly the same trajectory as the future generational ship. - They are your “non-lethal Vorbis supply line” across the desert.

In other words, the pattern is right — the resource carriers must be artificial for the interstellar part, and comets are more like opportunistic mass sources when near stars.
