POINTS OF INTEREST
Ancient's Forge - A small park near the trade school sector, the centrepiece is a small rotunda with an original forge from the anient forges beneath the city of Sundari. Here, ancient smiths can gather to talk of old times, and perhaps pass their wisdom onto willing and capable students of the future.
Iron Cantina - A moderately appointed service establishment that provides quality food and drink and entertainments, catering to visitors and local workers. It is located not far from the trade schools and the forge of the ancients.
Factories and Manufactorums - The factories are where the delicate and skilled technical work of the production phase is done by trained and experienced techs and workers. These facilities are spartan, but functional and well equipped. The Manufactorums are fully automated facilities where droids and automata carry out repetitive production tasks in assembly line setup.
Trade Schools - Educational facilities for apprentices and trainees to learn their chosen craft and trade. There is up to date equipment for practise as well as a ready supply of teachers who have a wealth of practical experience to pass on.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Owing to the amount of funding she was able to direct towards reconstruction, and in addition, the deals she had made with Arceneau Trading Company for their transport services, the Marshal of the Journeyman Protectors was able to exert significant influence over the planning for the construction of the new facilities in Keldabe. Because her remit was not strictly military, she felt able to meddle in civilian areas where she saw it was needed. Arla Rodarch used this influence to apply the concepts of the Codex Oyu'baat, for practicality, efficiency, and for careful selection of instructors, to the creation of a manufacturing and training base for the Mandalorian Protectors.
An entire district of the town of Keldabe was given over for the construction of new factories, and onto this canvas Arla painted her vision. Squat but large warehouses. Huge enclosed manufactories, built alongside factories which would employ thousands of local workers. At one end of the district were constructed trade schools to supply the factories here and elsewhere in the sector with skilled and trained labor forces.
Civilian infrastructure extended into the new district, with high speed maglev transport as well as wide and sturdy roadways. This design was efficient to allow for easy access to the Keldabe space port, as well as ease of commute for workers coming in from Keldabe and further afield. Some of the best trainers had to be brought in from offworld to fill the ranks of the instructors in the trade schools, but this would bring them to full operation immediately, which would pay long-term dividends.
There was little need for any on site or additional security measures given that Journeyman Protectors HQ is nearby and ready to deal with any hostile activity should that be required by a situation. In addition this is the capital city of Keldabe, on the planet Mandalore. There are several million heavily armed individuals who can be called in to assist.
Once construction was complete, the schools went into operation, while the factories and manufactorums all came online. As with any project of this scale, there were teething problems to be sorted out, and it would take time for the facilities to run up to full capacity. There began soon enough, however, a steady stream of finished products coming out of the district. The benefit to the economy of Keldabe and Mandalore was obvious, with a career path opening up for those not wishing to be soldiers, and a boon to immigration and trade across the Sector.
