Buster Nuggets Floating Shipyard

Shipyards Name: Buster Nuggets Floating Shipyard

Owner / Operator: Buster Nugget

Classification: Planetary/Asteroid Shipyards

Location: Kalimahr, located in the asteroid field surrounding the planet.

Population: Sections exposed to zero gravity without particle mass deflectors- Unstaffed/Automated, otherwise Moderately Staffed including the owner Buster Nugget.

Accessibility: This location is very easy to physically find if you have been here previously, but gaining internal access as a new client is almost impossible without a recommendation from another to Buster Nugget personally. Coordinates for the appropriate dock/asteroid are constantly updated as the whole asteroid field moves around Kalimahr.

Description: Largely hidden in the asteroid field around the planet, this collection of asteroids hides the shipyard for Buster Nugget and his team of ragtag shipwrights. The collection of thrown away, stolen, or even self produced building and ship wrecks that are floating in the orbit of the planet are a perfect cover for their somewhat less than legal operation.

OPERATIONS INFORMATION

Production: Star Destroyers, Cruisers, Frigates, Corvettes

Specialty: With some Research and development, certain sections can produce specialized vessels while significantly slowing production.

Output: Average output without specialization Low with specialization

Market: Open to all except the Sith Empire

POINTS OF INTEREST

The Control Towers - The control Towers are exactly as they sound. Control Tower's for the various operating systems around the Floating Shipyard. From relaying schematics to the external building arms, to dispatching crews for internal component manufacturing, to guiding in vessel's in need of repair or refuel. The Control Tower's always have a full crew, constantly manned to avoid any production or coordination issues.

The Different Production Extrusions - Depending on the process a starship is currently going through depends on the production extrusion surrounding it. Most start off with the rectangular sections for frame and external component manufacturing. The circular extrusions are normally placed around mostly complete vessels for final additions, adding atmosphere, closing internal panels, sorting wire relays, etc. The extrusions are modular, able to encompass any vessel size on any side given the proper schematics.

Blank Asteroids - Defense emplacement's are scattered throughout the field in the form of standard laser and ion defense cannons.

Mining Asteroids - Though used for production, some asteroids are being mined for ore and space.

SECURITY

Medium - Using a holonet link between them, constant communication occurs within the Towers. Point Defense Lasers are the general defenses paired with asteroid emplacements of ion defense cannons. There are occasional patrols of starfighters that fly through the area, small groups of two or three as navigating the field of asteroids is not for everyone.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The Floating Shipyard has been a slow work in progress for Buster Nugget and his crew. They have maintained a small collection of vessels from their founding, able to produce limited vessels with the blessing of several production systems by loyal investors or by snagging platforms that were abandoned or "decrepit and outdated" compared to most standard yards today. A gathering of building platforms, the numerous peoples with engineering backgrounds have a number of groups to work with as they move between the different towers.

The transportation of vessels between different extrusions is entirely automated to avoid anyone catching space flotsam while in transit. Procedures such as this are constantly being implemented constantly as the Agent's have no conforming structure as the other large groups do. The group is constantly learning and gleaning what it can from others. Buster Nugget likes to deal with each of his potential customers personally. It's a tradition since his shipyards implementation.
