Intent: To create a space station for the Confederacy of Independent Systems as well as select contractors and privateers to use in conjunction with the Salvager-Class Collection Vehicle to work as a remote smelting and starfighter production plant.
Development Thread:
Manufacturer: Baktoid Industrial Systems
Model: PY-11
Affiliation: Confederacy of Independent Systems/Select Contractors
Modularity: None
Production: Minor
Material: Durasteel/Transparisteel
Description: The PY-11 is a remote production yard that is largely droid run. These yards are placed along hyperspace routes, and along border Confederate worlds. Used in conjunction with the Salvager-class Collection Vehicle, the PY-11 is the place where all the work is performed. While the Salvager gathers and sorts through all the wreckage and debris along a battlefield, or wherever they are deployed, they must return to a PY-11 station for delivery of their salvage.
This station is primarily a forge and production plant. Aboard the station, the metals are smelted down and reforged for use in starfighter and small ship construction. Additionally, the production yard can repair or salvage parts from light to heavily damaged but still mostly intact products, such as engines, and laser cannons. Using an algorithm created to derive purpose and construction of technology, the droid production center may be able to recreate and reverse engineer a variety of equipment that is not part of the installed armory package.
Lightly crewed, and only primarily for observation and repair purposes, the PY-11 can last for a year between supply vessels. Ships created in the station are loaded into modular containers that are placed outside of the station for easy retrieval by friendly freighters.
Due to the stress created on the droid brain, it can only control more than the allocated 48 droid starfighters in case of emergency with complete shutdown of all systems minus the life support in the crew muster stations. Even with this protocol, the station is not designed for combat and should have designated combat escorts during times of war.
