As you increase the Viability of planets and establish outposts, you'll earn 'Andromeda Viability Points' (AVP). These points can be spent at the Cryo Pod terminal on the Nexus to awaken additional Initiative personnel, unlocking passive perks. These perks provide significant bonuses, such as increased experience gain, more research data, discounts at vendors, or additional mineral extraction. Prioritize perks that align with your playstyle and current needs, such as 'Reconnaissance' for more research data or 'Advanced Training' for bonus XP.
