Strengths:

• Tough Shell: The Argus Station is equipped with multiple shields and a hull armoured in Phrik the Argus is an incredibly tough nut to crack for any attacking vessels.
• Build it and they will come: Each Tine of the Argus is outfitted with docking bays, space docks and factories, able to produce the parts that any ships needs and outfit them as specifications require.
• We can build it: The multiple molecular furnaces spread throughout the station allow raw materials to be converted into the materials needed for specific jobs.

Weaknesses:

• No weapons: The Argus is entirely unarmed, rely on other orbital defences to drive off any attackers.
• Supply Limited: Although the Argus might be a difficult nut to crack, it is heavily reliant on external supplies, both to sustain the work crew and materials for the molecular furnaces to reform into parts of the ships they're producing and adjusting.
• Small Crew: Given the station's massive size, the actual crew is surprisingly small, relying heavily on automation and droids to do the majority of the work.

Description:

As Locke and Key Mechanics relocated their headquarters to the world of Fenris they realised that they'd need a shipyard in orbit capable of handling some of the biggest ships in the galaxy or multiple versions of the smaller ships that made up most fleets. From this wish, Argus Station was born.

Made up of three tines arrayed around a central hub, Argus station is a primarily automated hub for the production of military and civilian vessels. Each tine is 15 km long, capable of taking a 10km dreadnought easily. The tines also contain smaller ports, allowing them to either build, repair or upgrade any type of ship in the galaxy. The central hub of the station contains the primary administrative centres and crew quarters as well as the command centres which commanded the droids who made up the stations primary workforce. The central hub also contained the mineral processing facilities, a network of elevators that bring supplies in from transport ships before distribution them across the station.

Unarmed, and not pretty, Argus station is none the less an important part of Locke and Key Mechanics Corporate infrastructure.
