- Shipyards Name: The Crucible
- Classification: Orbital Shipyards
- Location: Vassek
- Affiliation: Obsidian Star Aerospace, Obsidian Star Technologies, Obsidian Star BioMed
- Population: Heavily Staffed
- Accessibility: The facility is protected by a small network of OSA-08 Orbital Defense Satellites and a single Khiluum-class defense platform which houses two squadrons of Ares Space Superiority Fighters. While potential buyers may be allowed access to the Forge, strict security measures ensure that only authorized persons are permitted in any sensitive areas.
- Description: The Crucible is a Forge-Class Orbital Shipyards constructed by Obsidian Star Aerospace. The Crucible is capable of constructing up to 20 capital class ships at a time using external dry-dock frames, with varying build times based on tonnage and size. In addition, the Crucible can construct up to 100 corvette or small type ships using it's internal production facilities, again with build times depending on size and tonnage. The Crucible serves as Obsidian Star Aerospace's primary area of operations.
- Production: Starfighters, Passenger Ships, Corvettes, Frigates, Cruisers, Star Destroyers, Super Star Destroyers (Semi-Unique Civilian)
- Specialty: Cruisers. Obsidian Star Adamant Class Heavy Cruisers are considered to be one of the most durable and resilient capital ships in the galaxy.
- Output:
- The Forge-Class Shipyard can produce up to 20 capital ships at a time using external dry-dock frames and hundreds of D0-T7 Astromech Droids. Average build times for ships varies on size and tonnage, but can generally be assumed to take:
- 9-12 months for an SSD
- 3-4 months per Star Destroyer
- 2-3 months per Cruiser
- 1-2 months per Frigate
- As well, the Forge-Class Shipyard has the internal facilities to build up to 100 Corvette or smaller ships at a time. Again average build times are based on size and tonnage, but can generally be assumed to take:
- 3-4 weeks per Corvette
- 1-2 weeks per Small Transport or Starfighter
- The Forge-Class Shipyard can produce up to 20 capital ships at a time using external dry-dock frames and hundreds of D0-T7 Astromech Droids. Average build times for ships varies on size and tonnage, but can generally be assumed to take:
- Market: With the building of this facility, Obsidian Star Aerospace is looking to become major supplier to the Eternal Empire. While most of it's craft are military in nature, the company does have a small but significant catalogue for civilians.
- External Dry-Dock Frames: The Crucible has twenty external dry-dock frames for building capital ships.
- Internal Construction Bays: The Crucible has an extensive network of internal construction and fabrication areas for the production of parts and smaller spacecraft.
- Central Operations Level: From the central operations level, supervision is kept on the various building efforts as well as the performance of essential systems. The station's central power plant is located on this level.
- Crew Living Quarters and Recreation Facilities: Crew quarters for station personnel can be found on this level, so can several mess halls, gymnasiums and the infirmary.
- Security Command and Control: Security command and control exists on the Khiluum-class defense platform that is stationed nearby the Forge. From this area, the outer defense parameter is manned and defensive fighter squadrons are scrambled. In addition, the platform's defenses can be manned from this level.
- Outer Defense Parameter: Consists of a network of twenty-five OSA-08 Orbital Defense Satellites and serves as the Forge's first line of defense against attack.
SECURITY: High
- The Forge maintains an approximately 200 person security division on board the main station, a secondary tactical response unit of 50 operators on board the Khiluum Defense Platform, two squadrons of OSA-13 "Ares" Space Superiority Fighters
- Restricted areas are kept secure with an extensive biometric security devices, motion and infrared sensors and blast doors
