Affiliation: Open market
Manufacturer: Ringovinda StarYards
Model: Sacul-class orbital drydock
Modularity: Storage pods, hangar bays
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Durasteel
Classification: Orbital drydock
Length: 300m (when fully retracted)-999m (when fully extended)
Width: 300m (when fully retracted)-999m (when fully extended)
Height: 200m (when fully retracted)-999m (when fully extended)
Armament: 4
- 6 XX-9 double turbolaser turrets
- 6 tractor beam projectors
Defenses: 10
- 24 point-defense laser cannons
- Deflector shields
Hangar: 4 squadrons of utility tugs (48 tugs)
Special Features:
- Eight adjustable braces
- G2-GS beamdrills
- Lathes
- Mills
- Welding machines
- Hydrospanners
- Cranes
Maneuverability Rating: 20
Speed Rating: 20
Hyperdrive Class: No Hyperdrive
Strengths:
- Capable of servicing or constructing almost any capital ship so long as the width or the height does not exceed 900m (can build or service ships longer than 1km but won't fit in its entirety within the drydock)
- Due to its adjustability features, can move in space, even though it is slow as molasses
- Capable of withstanding fire regardless of how the drydock is configured
Weaknesses:
- Requires additional ships for defense (lightly armed)
- Extremely slow to maneuver at sublight speeds
- Can take hours to extend or to retract according to the size of the ship being built
- Requires an hyperspace-capable tug for even interplanetary movement
Description: The Sacul-class adjustable drydock is a drydock designed to fit the ship being built, rather than the other way around as is usually the case with other drydocks. It comes equipped with a complete array of shipyard equipment, including G2-GS beamdrills, lathes, cranes, mills, welding machines, hydrospanners and so much more. The central boom at the top contains the housing quarters for the crew as well as for the engineers and mechanics, and housing space for repair, mechanical and astromech droids.
Crew: 3,700 organic (1,500 support crew, 600 engineers, 1,600 mechanics), 25,000 droids (without storage pods)
Cargo space: 20,000 tons (without storage pods)-500,000 tons (when all the storage pods are attached)
Consumables: 2 months
Development Thread: If necessary
Intent: To provide a drydock that can be adjusted according to the size of the ships being built
Who can use this: Anyone
