STRENGTHS

• Storage: The Verd-class Salvage and Trash Processing Station is capable of holding a large amount of cargo within itself, somewhere in the vicinity of several million metric tons
• Manufacturer: Though the primary purpose of the Verd-class Salvage and Trash Processing Station is to store salvaged materials, the station is also capable of manufacturing its own products, thanks to its Molecular Furnace and Self-Regulating Droidmaker
• Well defended: For a space station of its class, the Verd-class Salvage and Trash Processing Station is surprisingly well defended and relatively difficult to destroy
• Affordable: Like many Mahporeem made designs, the Verd-class Salvage and Trash Processing Station is first and foremost designed to be affordable, as it can be built both quickly and rather cheaply, though this is offset someone by the inclusion of Beskar in its final design

WEAKNESSES

• Unarmed: The Verd-class Salvage and Trash Processing Station is completely unarmed, and must rely on other units to defend it from enemy attack
• Immobile: The Verd-class Salvage and Trash Processing Station is unable to move under its own power, forcing it to be towed into new positions
• Valuable target: The type of cargo and materials that a Verd-class Salvage and Trash Processing Station carries makes it an attractive target, and means that the station it likely to attract rather unsavory attention on itself
• Resupply: With most of its available going to the storage of salvaged and reclaimed materials, the station must be resupplied with food, water and other essentials rather frequently

DESCRIPTION

Originally beginning life as Siv Kryze-class Light Salvage Stations, these space stations were developed as a joint venture between the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant and the Mandalorian Empire. Unfortunately, an internal plot against the Imperial Confederation resulted in the Mandalorians seizing a number of the stations for their exclusive use, preventing Mahporeenian forces from having any sort of access to them. With the Mandalorian's refusal to return the seized stations back to Mahporeem and the breakdown of ties between the Imperial Remnant and the Mandalorian Empire, it was decided to rename the remaining station still under Mahporeenian control.

When they were known as Siv Kryze-class Light Salvage Stations, they had been named after Siv Kryze, who was instrumental in negotiating the original deal between Mahporeem and the Mandalorians. In recognition of his efforts, the Imperial Remnant elected to name the stations after him, to show that the Imperial Remnant was capable of working with Mandalore on this business venture. After the worsening of ties, the Imperial Remnant renamed all remaining stations to "Verd-class Salvage and Trash Processing Stations", as a thinly veiled insult toward the current leader of the Mandalorian Empire, Aether Verd. It does not take a genius to see why a name might be considered an insult toward the one the stations are named for.

Beyond that, little, if anything has changed about the internal or external layouts of the stations themselves, though the Imperial Remnant has begun to ramp up their production of them. The stations retain the same strengths and weaknesses that they had originally, though with a distinct lack of Mandalorian influence. This does mean that the stations tend to be somewhat more vulnerable to being attacked than before, as they no longer fall under the protection of one of the most powerful empires in the galaxy. Whether or not Mahporeem can pick up the defensive slack remains to be seen.
