SETTING INFORMATION
- Shipyards Name: Fire-Spark Droidforge
- Classification: Orbital Droid Factory
- Location: Deep Core > Tython system > Sunspot
- Affiliation: CORE Automata
- Population: Unstaffed/Automated (Droid Staff)
- Accessibility: Navigating to the location can be difficult via hyperspace due to the mass shadow density of the Deep Core. The facility itself orbits the planet Sunspot, a molten world in close proximity to the local star, and can reach temperatures intolerable for many organic lifeforms. Having been originally designed to be operated and managed by droids, no artificial atmosphere generators exist onboard and most organic beings would require specialized equipment to explore it.
- Description: A remnant of the ancient Clockwork Rebellion, left dormant and undiscovered within the Galactic Core for over 400 years. The Fire-Spark Droidforge is entirely dedicated to the design and production of droid units and components.
OPERATIONS INFORMATION
- Production: Droids, Droid Components
- Specialty:
- Advanced Droid Components (ie: Droid Brains)
- Combat Droids
- Output: Automated; able to mass produce non-specialized units. Production times may vary for more advanced and/or custom models/components that require additional oversight.
- Market: Closed-Market
POINTS OF INTEREST
The entire facility is powered by a single Micro-Sun Generator contained in an ejectable housing at the bottom of the orbital. This method of power generation creates massive energy output with a theoretical lifespan of millions of years, but at great risk. Misuse, overburdening or unpredictable instability can result in catastrophic damage up to and including a minor supernova reaction.
The production and assembly lines of the Droidforge are entirely automated and designed to be able to quickly cycle active molds and castings for a seamless transition in manufacturing. The facility hosts a unique adaptive mold/castings system that utilizes the Sun Generator's immense heat to quickly soften a fiberplast-thermoplast polyblend, shape it into a mold/casting using three-dimensional renders, and rapidly cool it for production line use within minutes.
SECURITY
- High: Aside from the location and environmental hazards offering protection from most would-be attackers, the facility is also equipped with automated defense systems linked to a vast array of internal autoturrets and external turbolasers. The facility is actively patrolled by security and supervisor droids, and hosts a reserve of battle droids for emergencies.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Fire-Spark Droidforge is an old and unique design, constructed over 400 years ago during the original Clockwork Rebellion. The facility, still functional to this day, is likely one of the last surviving droid manufacturing facilities built by the villainous A.I. to stock it's droid armies.
Orbiting the molten Deep Core world of Sunspot, the Droidforge is a testament to advanced A.I engineering; capable of withstanding the powerful magnetic and gravitational disturbances caused by the intersecting orbits between Sunspot and Malterra, and built to contain and wield the immense energy of a Star.
