CORPORATION INFORMATION
- Corporation Name: Starcraft Shipyards
- Headquarters: Veridian Anchorage, a frontier orbital shipyard and logistics station positioned near Veridia.
- Locations:
- Veridian Anchorage — Starcraft’s primary headquarters and main frontier shipyard station near Veridia. It serves as a drydock station, repair yard, convoy shelter, patrol staging point, evacuation depot, refueling hub, and deep-space logistics center.
- Shinryoku Outer Yard — A dispersed industrial zone of repair frames, shielded cargo platforms, fuel stations, refinery berths, and patrol-craft docks kept away from Veridia’s inhabited surface.
- Luminaria Prospect Chain — A loose network of survey beacons, salvage markers, claim buoys, mobile refinery platforms, and deep-space mining routes near Centerra and the wider Luminaria system.
- Eosward Depot — A modest waystation near the Luminaria approach, used for navigation support, ore sorting, emergency repairs, rescue staging, fuel reserves, and convoy assembly.
- Farpoint Recovery Fields — Remote asteroid fields, abandoned wreckage corridors, derelict zones, and uninhabited mineral sites worked by Starcraft Prospecting & Recovery.
- Nar Shaddaa Procurement Desk — A reduced purchasing and salvage-contract office used for difficult-to-source parts, independent suppliers, and specialized component acquisition.
- Former Core Presence: Starcraft has reduced or closed most of its older Core-world offices, including its Corellian-facing work, in favor of frontier yards, mobile support stations, and Unknown Regions operations.
- Operations: Starcraft Shipyards specializes in the manufacturing, repair, maintenance, and logistical support of military-grade and humanitarian vessels, including civilian evacuation ships, transport vessels, patrol craft, bombers, carriers, relief aid ships, salvage vessels, frontier support craft, mobile refinery ships, and deep-space mining vessels.
- Parent Corporation: Solarix - Luxury Space Vessels
- Commercial Network / Marketplace Affiliation: Star Bazaar : Emporium of Everything
- Catalog Affiliation: Star Bazaar : Emporium of Everything Catalog
- Partners: Si-Tech, Breshig War Forge Consolidated
- Subsidiaries:
- Starcraft Prospecting & Recovery — A deep-space mining, salvage, survey, and resource-logistics branch responsible for asteroid extraction, derelict recovery, wreckage processing, mobile refinery work, ore sorting, and safe transport of raw materials back to Starcraft’s frontier yards.
DESCRIPTION
Starcraft Shipyards, led by Braze, began as an extension of Solarix’s legacy, carrying elegant vessel design into a more practical field: defense craft, evacuation ships, transports, carriers, relief vessels, salvage haulers, and frontier support ships. While Solarix remains the company’s parent and design legacy, Starcraft has become the harder-working branch of that inheritance, less concerned with luxury and more concerned with survival.
In its earlier years, Starcraft maintained a stronger Core-world presence, leaning on established ports, polished trade lanes, and familiar industrial centers. That focus has since changed. Starcraft has withdrawn much of its active work away from Corellia and other Core-world areas, shifting toward the Unknown Regions, where isolated worlds, unsettled routes, and distant colonies often need help long before larger powers can respond.
The heart of this new direction is Veridian Anchorage, a working orbital station near Veridia. The station is not a vanity project or a glittering corporate monument; it is a place of labor, pressure doors, repair crews, fuel lines, cargo cranes, patrol berths, medevac docks, and long observation windows facing the dark between systems. Ships arrive with scarred plating, empty holds, exhausted passengers, damaged engines, or half-finished distress calls. They leave patched, fueled, stocked, and pointed toward the next hard journey.
Starcraft keeps its heaviest industrial work off-world, using orbital yards, remote depots, mobile refinery platforms, and deep-space resource sites instead of crowding the worlds it means to protect. Near Veridia, this allows the company to support trade, defense, humanitarian travel, exploration, and emergency evacuation without burying local communities beneath unnecessary industry.
The company has also expanded toward Centerra and the Luminaria system through Starcraft Prospecting & Recovery. This subsidiary handles deep-space mining, asteroid extraction, derelict recovery, salvage clearance, mobile ore processing, and hazardous resource operations. Its crews favor uninhabited moons, asteroid fields, abandoned wreckage zones, gas-cloud margins, and remote mineral pockets over populated worlds.
Vessels such as the Collector Crab form the backbone of this industrial arm. These ships break useful metals from cold stone, drag wreckage out of forgotten debris fields, process raw ore beneath armored hulls, and haul recovered materials back to Starcraft’s yards. What they gather becomes armor plating, station modules, medical transports, relief ships, patrol craft, and the bones of vessels meant to keep frontier worlds alive.
Star Bazaar serves as Starcraft’s public marketplace, catalog host, storefront network, and distribution partner. It does not replace Solarix as Starcraft’s parent company; instead, it gives Starcraft a wider commercial face, allowing customers, allies, relief groups, frontier settlements, and approved partners to browse, request, purchase, or contract Starcraft goods through a shared trade network.
Starcraft’s current identity is frontier-facing: practical, mobile, defensive, and built for the long roads where safe ports grow scarce.
RATIONALE
Braze founded Starcraft Shipyards to build upon Solarix’s success while creating something more suited to war, disaster relief, patrol work, humanitarian travel, and survival beyond comfortable trade lanes. What began as a military and support-vessel manufacturer has grown into a broader frontier company shaped by Braze’s increasing responsibilities near Veridia, Centerra, and the Unknown Regions.
The move away from Corellia and other Core-world areas represents a deliberate change in focus. Starcraft no longer exists merely to compete within established industrial markets. Its purpose is to support remote communities, protect fragile routes, repair damaged vessels, stage relief fleets, maintain patrol craft, and provide infrastructure for worlds standing far from the galaxy’s safest centers.
Veridian Anchorage was established as the company’s new headquarters to give Starcraft a meaningful presence near Veridia without forcing heavy industry directly onto the planet. From there, the company can stage evacuation ships, maintain defensive vessels, repair allied craft, support exploration missions, and keep frontier convoys moving.
Starcraft Prospecting & Recovery was created to secure the materials needed for this work without relying entirely on Core-world supply chains or draining inhabited planets. By focusing on asteroid belts, wreckage fields, remote mineral sites, and salvageable derelicts, the subsidiary gives Starcraft a steadier resource chain while supporting the company’s larger mission: building ships that defend, rescue, supply, and endure.
Star Bazaar’s involvement gives Starcraft a public-facing storefront and distribution network, while Solarix remains the company’s parent legacy. Together, this structure lets Starcraft stand as both a specialized shipbuilder and a working part of a broader commercial family.
