Mmm.....I recall the WoR about the CCT showing there were also multiple, smaller antennas here and there between the kingdoms.

It's likely that there are outposts located in/near at least some of them. Those outposts could be located alongside some part of a route, a safe place where vehicles can stop to refuel and workers can rest, and by extension I see some merchants selling stuff there.

Some of those outposts could well become villages. Should be easier than just building a town in the middle of nowhere and hoping it works.

As for actual methods of transportation of prime matter like Dust, they're the same as in our world: Air and Water for international trading, and Air and Ground for continental trading.

As for how they are defended....well, the SDC had AKs guarding the train, along with a Spider Mech....we've also seen the effectiveness of the superior AKs against Grimm, and while they can deal well against the weak ones, even the relatively-strong ones crush them.

Hunters and similar, I assume not everyone can afford them, or they are not as easily available and replaceable as AKs.

So basically, they do get AKs at least to defend the cargo....they just don't prevent Grimm from still being capable of wrecking said cargo. Even with protection, it's not 100% safe.
