Remington Shipyards

## History

Remington Shipyards are a stationary shipbuilding facility currently under the control of the Confederated pioneer republic. It is located in tile 3C. and is the HQ Of Remington Corporation.

Remington Shipyards was designed and constructed to replace an outdated and insufficient IMDC Shipyard of smaller size from before the First Fleet Collapse. Key design considerations were civilian infrastructure and housing, so as to support the growing population and production capacity required. An eye was also placed towards further future expansion, and a hope to attract more civilians to the Outer Reach.

The station finished construction and entered full service in 2205 AD, fifteen years before the Rider/CDF War.

At the beginning of the RR CDF war in 2221 CE, the shipyard shifted all focus from its pre-war contracts into supporting the CDF navy. Not only would Remington support and repair the CDF War machine, it would provide the fleet with new, larger CL and CH class ships. During the war it would become the primary CDF military shipyard, and rake in the rewards as such.

Remington Shipyard was given a temporary refit to be able to house and construct a BL class ship, but her slipways would be bare soon after this ship's commissioning. The BL had its construction cancelled after negotiations with the EFN took place on the station, with both the BB Eternity's Advent, her captain, and Admiral Mallard of the CDF in attendance. The result of the negotiation led the EFN to help convert the BL hull into 2 CH hulls in a record time. (outlands S2 EP3)

For the most part, Remington's position as furthest from the Beachhead in the Outer Reach guaranteed that it never saw any action during the Belt War, leading to it being seen as a haven for civilian populations fleeing the Khan advance. The shipyard would continue operation until the end of the war, churning out new ships for the CDF until the Fall of Malta.

In the wake of the Fall of Malta and the subsequent dissolution of the CDF, Admiral Mallard effectively gave remaining CDF assets a choice: run and hide, or join up with the Riders, who were still fighting the Khans. Remington joined up with the Riders until the end of the war, even going as far as to produce formerly CDF designs for them under new labels, such as the Vagabond-class Destroyer, which was basically an unchanged Viminal-class Destroyer.

During and after the Belt War, large amounts of the civilian population flocked to Remington Shipyards and the safety it seemed to hold, untouched by the war in its entirety. In the months since the war, Remington Shipyards has become a new powerhouse in the System, now untethered from both the Riders (who retreated to their core territories to both lick their wounds and plan their next move) and the CDF (which no longer existed). Turning their attention inward, Remington converted a cargo hauler into a BL, named Remington, as well as constructing their own small frigate flotilla.

After the initial struggle for the reach, the Confederated Pioneer Republic was Formed from the REM and WH factions and has moved to create a full democratic system. During this move the Shipyard was given a large budget to be put towards modernizing shipyard facilities with the primary goal of improving Civilian infrastructure and general shipyard safety.

Remington Shipyards also recently became home to 733.1 The Remington City Pulse.
