Orbital industry

Orbital industry, characterized by the deployment and maintenance of space stations equipped for industrial production of various kinds, was used heavily by spacefaring humans in the Post Diaspora era.
Civilian and military starships were mostly manufactured in orbit of planets.
Under interstellar law and the Constitution of the Solarian League, orbital industry had vague protections.
