The Shipyards are only accessible to authorized Imperial and Corporate personnel with unauthorized personnel being terminated in short order.
- Description: The Cholganna Drive Yards is a Orbital Ring Shipyard located in orbit of the Outer Rim world of Cholganna, serving as one of the primary shipyards of the Imperial Confederation. It is capable of building any type of vessel from small starfighters to entire Star Dreadnoughts, serving as the beating heart of the Imperial War Machine. As such, the Shipyards are tightly guarded with a large naval presence and extensive orbital defenses in place to ensure that any attempt to seize or destroy the shipyards end in complete failure.
- Production: Anything from Starfighters to Star Dreadnoughts
- Specialty: Imperial-style Warships
- Output:
- Star Dreadnoughts - 8 Months
- Battlecruisers - 4-6 Months [Depending on Size]
- Star Destroyers - 3 Months
- Cruisers - 2 Months
- Frigates - 6 Weeks
- Corvettes - 3 Weeks
- Starfighters - 1 Week
- Market: Closed Market | Only produces Warships primarily for the Imperial Confederation and other approved Factions
| Fabrication Modules & Assembly Lines | Within the interior of the Cholganna Drive Yards there are hundreds of heavy-duty construction modules and fully automated assembly dedicated to starship hull forging, armor plating, and internal component assembly along with hull assembly, system integration, and final space trials before launch respectively. Both the construction modules and assembly lines work in unison to rapidly produce warships of varying sizes ensuring they are built as quickly as possible in an efficient manner, which is made possible through the usage of manual workers and automated droids |
| Hangar Space | Scattered throughout the Cholganna Drive Yards are numerous starfighter hanger bays which are used to house vast amounts of starfighter squadrons in the defense of the Drive Yards in addition to being able to receive support ships such as shuttles to accommodate for the arrival of VIPs and other personnel to the shipyards. |
| Docking Bays | In addition to the many hangar bays, the Cholganna Drive Yards possesses a vast amount of Docking Bays which are used by larger ships such as freighters to deposit supplies to the Drive Yards in order to provide it with the vital resources it requires to keep the Drive Yards functioning. |
| Integrated Drydocks | These are utilized to accommodate warships of varying sizes from Small Corvettes to large Star Destroyers. From here Imperial Warships can receive repairs, refuel and resupply in-between deployments in addition to receiving new personnel to replace those lost on the battlefield. |
| External Automated Shipyards | In addition to the main Orbital Array, there are up to 15 smaller Automated Shipyards scattered around the Cholganna Drive Yards which are utilized either for special projects that require more specialized means of production or for the rapid mass-production of warships on a short notice as to not disrupt the regular scheduling of the main orbital array's operations. |
| Central Command Centers | Scattered across the Cholganna Drive Yards are multiple command bridges, one for each 20 kilometer segment of the Shipyards. Each individual command bridge is responsible for coordinating all operations within their respective segment with all the command bridges being connected to each other via a master coordination hub in order to maintain complete operational efficiency. |
| Internal Transit Network | Across the interior of the Cholganna Drive Yards there is a large and vast Magnetic lev-rail network which connect each individual segment via large pressurized tunnels that run through the Drive Yards, allowing personnel, droids, and cargo to travel across the shipyards with efficiently. |
| Training Facilities | Throughout the Cholganna Drive Yards are various training facilities where Imperial Personnel whether they be Army, Navy, Special Forces or Starfighter Corps can hone their skills in each field with some facilities being dedicated to each branch while others are general purpose. Along with the main training facilities there some accompanying cafeterias and recreation centers that allow Imperial Personnel to eat and rest in-between training sessions. |
| Residential Zones | The Residential Zones are the section of the Cholganna Drive Yards that contain the Barracks and Living Quarter for both the Military Garrison and Civilian Personnel respectively.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Throughout his career, Marlon Sularen had established various strongholds across the galaxy, from Byss to O'reen to Wistril to Dathomir, but eventually he always found himself being forced out those planets in due to the ever-changing political landscape within the galaxy and the fragile nature of the regimes he followed such as the Brotherhood of the Maw and the Dark Empire. Following the collapse of the Dark Empire, Sularen vowed to ensure that the next regime that he would serve wouldn't face the same calamity as those he had served before and when he entered the ranks of the Imperial Confederation as it's newly appointed Supreme Commander of their Armed Forces, he immediately got to work.
Within days of his appointment, Sularen would settle on the planet of Cholganna, a dark and cool forest planet in the Outer Rim home to the predatory feline species known as the Nexu along with a sizable population comprised of the descendants of the survivors of the Sa Nalaor, a Seperatist Warship that crash-landed on the planet at the end of the Clone Wars centuries ago. Soon, the Imperial Center for Military Operations would be erected on the planet serving as the headquarters of the Imperial Armed Forces and the site of one of it's main Naval Academies. Furthermore additional sites such as vast training bases would be established further increasing the military presence of the Imperial Confederation on the barely populated world.
After the Imperial Confederation's defeat at Brosi and the Cholganna Naval Conference, Sularen decided to take a step further and begin the process of Industrializing Cholganna seeking to transform it into a major shipbuilding hub for the Imperial Confederation on par with Mon Calamari, another Imperial-held planet. The first phase of this initiative would soon manifest in the Cholganna Drive Yards, a large ring-shaped orbital array that would encircle the planet similar to the Shipyards at Kuat and Ringo Vinda. Through the Cholganna Drive Yards, Sularen's shipbuilding corporation known as SularenCo, would possess a major facility from which it could churn out new warships for the Imperial Confederation while also enabling it to collaborate with other Shipbuilding corporations on major projects for the Imperial Navy.
Thus with the completion of the Cholganna Drive Yards, a new era for Imperial Shipbuilding has begun while new job opportunities for Imperial Citizens within the Confederation have opened up, enabling the Supreme Commander to pave the way towards further building-up Cholganna as a major planet within the Confederation by expanding it's native population through immigration and resettlement. The Cholganna Drive Yards serves as a symbol of Imperial growth and resilience enabling the Imperial Confederation to navigate through the ever-changing political landscape of the galaxy with greater ease.
