Description

This is an example of a typical small satellite factory station built to provide materials which have been produced or refined in zero-G conditions. While they had been neglected during the Succession Wars, the resurgence of technology has seen a similar resurgence in factory station construction.

Weapons and Equipment

Small factory stations are mostly poorly armed or unarmed and only modestly armored.

Cargo

The Cargo Bays are used for processing and storage.

Bay 1: Small Craft (2) - 2 doors
Bay 2: Cargo (958.5 tons) - 2 doors
Bay 3: Factory Unit (1) - 2 doors

Variants

There are numerous variations, depending on level of automation, weight, armament, and other factors.
