Forge Modular Yard Station (BtH)

==Description==
The Forge Class Modular Yard Station was built by the Taurian Concordat in late 2500s design support mobile forces. Essentially modular repair station, which be attached to a JumpShip and transported where it needed.
This was created for the By the Horns fan story.
==Background==
For those of you who simply have to know the stats on that modular Station Aramis and his flotilla found with the Exile Fleet, I will post it below. I call it the Forge-class; it was designed as modular repair/construction station that the TCN could rapidly move to forward areas to support combat operations. However, as the Reunification War dragged on and on and on, most were lost--either destroyed or captured by the SLDF or the Davion Auxiliary Corps. A few survived in the Hyades until the end, but all of those known to exist were destroyed afterwards by the SLDF.
Primarily, the Station is a Repair Yard, but provided that the components are available (or can be produced by the Factory Units, and NO, the FUs cannot, repeat cannot, produce a K/F core) a vessel can be assembled.
==Equipment and Capablities==
===Facilities===
Design to handle six Repair Facilties are Pressurized. Even the ones for the JumpShips and WarShips.
The Station masses 510,000 tons (just half the size of an Olympus) but it isn't designed to be a recharge station. Instead, it is comprised of six modules (each about 85,000 tons and outfitted with a K/F boom, so the entire station can be transported on six docking collars) with six separate factory units (1,700 tons each, giving the Station the production capacity of six Medium/Large Orbital Factories), 24 Small Craft, 80 Industrial 'Mechs, and six Pressurized Repair Facilities.
Four of the Repair Facilities are designed to accommodate only DropShips and are limited to vessels of 50,000 tons or smaller. The fifth RF is larger and designed for JumpShips (and some small WarShips) of up to 300,000 tons, as well as any known DropShip. The final RF is still larger and is able to hold a DropShip of any size, or a JumpShip of any tonnage, or a WarShip massing up to and including 650,000 tons (i.e., this means it can perform repair work on a Wagon Wheel or any smaller WarShip).
===Weapons===
The Forge class Stations are lightly armed (primarily with standard-scale weaponry, but includes several Barracuda Capital Missile Launchers as well) and features a good amount of capital-scale armor protection (with 1,529 tons of standard armor plating). There are six docking collars (primarily to secure DropShips ferrying supplies and components aboard), 120 Marine Security personnel assigned, and over 700 factory/repair facility personnel assigned.
