Generally considered a secondary utility system to the GUP is the GUS (general utility system). Although we do know that it provides external utilities on request, the only system or being that has been able to access it is GUP. On request when GUP needs additional matter GUS will search out and find mass which is not disruptive to convert. At extremes it will leave ON entirely and travel to other planets to collect the requested matter, although this has only been recorded as occurring twice, both during the initial stress testing of GUP. In the case where it must take matter from other planets it leaves technology in it's stead to help the local intelligences.
