- Shipyards Name: Starlight Driveyards
- Classification: Orbital Shipyard
- Location: Alee
- Affiliation:
- Starlight Corporation
- Population: Heavily Staffed
- Accessibility: The Starlight Driveyards are connected to the world of Alee by a space elevator, serving as the primary means of transportation for equipment and personnel from the surface to the primary orbital station. Additional docking bays and hangars are situated around the driveyards allowing for transports and shuttles to fly between different parts of the facility. A security perimeter is established around the outer edges of the driveyard, and access to the space elevator is secured by Starlight Corporation security droids on the ground.
- Description: The Starlight Driveyards is a massive complex of drydocks formed from ancient Imperial designed deepdocks that have been connected togtther, and smaller orbital stations centered around a large, pyramid station connected to the planets surface by a space elevator. The entire complex moves with the planetary rotation of Alee, creating a natural day and night cycle for rotations on the driveyard, matching closely with that of the world below as many employees of the driveyards come from Alee. Each extended orbital station is connected by corridors to the central hub, with each of the individual orbitals being connected to several starship assembly yards.
- Production: The Starlight Driveyards are capable of producing ships ranging from starfighters to cruisers in class, though lacks the ability to produce larger craft.
- Specialty: Starlight Driveyards specializes in the production of starfighter and corvette sized vehicles, often for usage as medical starships or as long range, long term missions for Jedi in the Outer Rim.
- Output: Starlight Driveyards produces both hand crafted, custom starships as well as mass produced craft. Starfighters and corvettes are produced by highly specialized engineers, often brought in from across the galaxy, while frigate and cruiser sized ships are produced at larger quantities by a mixture of droid and organized labor forces.
- Market: The Starlight Driveyards focuses its production on worlds in the Outer Rim and Scar Worlds.
- Central Hub | Starlight Supreme: Nicknamed Starlight Supreme by the employees, the Central Hub of the Starlight Driveyards houses the medical facilities and mess hall for staff across the complex of stations. It is here that the overseers and Corp of Director members can oversee general operations across the entire driveyards.
- Small Craft Assembly | Jedi Dome: Nicknamed the Jedi Dome, the Small Craft Assembly is the prized jewel of the Starlight Driveyards. Here the best engineers and builders of the Starlight Corporation put their minds and efforts into designing, and construction craft used across the Outer Rim by Jedi and medical purposes.
- Frigate and Cruiser Assembly: The largest of the orbital complexes in the driveyards, frigate assembly is where the vast majority of the driveyards production is directed. A mixture of medical, patrol and defensive vessels are produced at a high rate from the this assembly yard, every vessel either already sold to a planetary government, or joining patrols overseen by Jedi in the Outer Rim.
SECURITY
- Medium
- Droid security units are spread across the Starlight Driveyard facilities and orbitals, overseeing every hangar bay and the space elevator leading to the Central Hub, and biometric checks are conducted when entering different assembly complexes. Each complex of the Starlight Driveyards can also be locked down from the rest of the facility, preventing the possible spread of a danger from one to another.
- A series of patrol craft produced by the Starlight Driveyards, usually in their trial and testing phases after production, are used as patrol craft around the perimeter of the driveyards. These shake down cruises last for several weeks, and any maintenance issues found are quickly completed. When all is ready, the ships are sent to their buyer or patrol location, and newly completed ships take their place.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Founded by Quintus Cass, Starlight Driveyards serves as one of the largest revenue streams for the Starlight Corporation. Vessels destined for use by Jedi across the galaxy, and ship intended to serve as a planetary defense craft are produced in the round the clock shifts at the driveyards, ensuring quotas are always met. A source of great pride for the Starlight Corporation in particular is their Small Craft Assembly, where some of the galaxies best starship engineers ply their trade in producing custom made ships for usage by Jedi. The Starlight Driveyards are always in a constant state of operation, and efforts are made on a regular basis to expand the driveyards production capability so as to provide greater output to worlds across the Outer Rim.
The original structure for the driveyards came from schematics for ancient Imperial deepdocks, mobile space stations used to refit and repair Imperial starships. The ability to work on multiple ships in a single one of these deepdocks served as the base, and several deepdocks were constructed and connected together, forming the primary modules for the driveyards as a whole. They would be tethered to a central hub section.
