Affiliation: Closed Market | Saiba Group
Manufacturer: Saiba Group
Model: SG-SC-03 'BIO-ARK'
Modularity: Yes
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Durasteel, Transparisteel. Specific orders can be placed for other materials: alusteel and glasteel for increased durability. Solarium Glasteel and Algae Biofuel for environmental concerns - in cooperation with their respective manufacturers.
Classification: Mobile Storage Station.

Length: 900m
Width: 900m
Height: 450m at the extremities, closer to 300m all around.

Armament: 0 (Civilian Production). To minimize any threats to the station Saiba has decided against to attaching any sort of weaponry - defensive or offensive - to the station. A station with no weaponry is a smaller target after all. But with that being said it is possible to attach some minor defensive emplacements across its exterior with a maximum threshold that coincides with a (5) in pure defensive armament.

Hangar: 3; the station has room for multiple specialized transport freighters to ferry across the crops grown / livestock kept inside the ship. This space could be used for a token amount of starfighters, but it would be highly ineffective and in the end meaningless.

Special Features:

• Environmental Control
• Interior easily modified on the fly.

Maneuverability: 18
Speed Rating: 19
Hyperdrive Class: 2.0 (Backup: 10.0)

Strengths:

• Advanced Environmental Controls
• High Modularity Interior Space

Weaknesses:

• Defenseless without proper support.
• Slow & Slower
• Maneuverability

Description:

The Ark is Saiba's attempt at cornering a market whilst also providing a tactical advantages to those factions that purchase these stations. First and foremost it is a space station that focuses on a high modularity of the interior - internal space can be divided in multiple areas or added together to form larger areas, to suit the need of the owners.

Said space is regulated by the environmental control and artificial gravity to simulate different atmospheres and environments: all of this in an attempt to provide growing crops or possible lifestock the optimal environment to thrive on. All sorts of climates can be simulated, from more aquatic ones to arid to anything in between.

This is a perfect option for nations that do not have the luxury of multiple agriculture worlds. You cannot grow crops or breed livestock on industrial worlds, after all.

Buy listing this as closed market you can only sell to one individual or faction. Is this intended to only be sold to Saiba Group members?

In the past 'Closed Market' meant that it was on the market, but that sales had to be approved. As to prevent people from simply saying they got it, like with 'Open Market'.

But I can swap it to say Open Market, if that makes more sense with the current way the Factory handles things.

-- Edit: removed the Closed Market from 'Who can use it' to just say 'Buyers and Saiba Group'. Does that work better?
