The '''Layover''' system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of [[3152]] was located in the [[Crucis March]] within the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name=DDp75>''Dominions Divided'', p. 75: "Draconis Combine & Federated Suns June 3152" (Map)</ref>
 
 
==System Description==
 
Layover is located near the [[Klamriz]] and [[Cholame]] systems.  It lies [[Spinward]] from [[Terra]].<ref name=DDp75/>

Following the catastrophic damage inflicted on [[Kallon Weapon Industries]] during the [[Jihad]], the Federated Suns government forced [[Salvatore Incorporated]] to sell Kallon some of the unused facilities on Layover.

With Salvatore and Kallon now sharing the same site at St. Edwards on the Arizona continent both saw an increase in activity since the enforced nationalization and sale of a part of Salvatore's facilities. Salvatore have benefited from new contracts and generous loans to continue production of their ''[[Seeker]]''-class [[DropShip]]s and ''[[K-1]]''-class DropShuttles; Kallon quickly began producing the ''[[Arondight]]''-class [[Pocket WarShip]] under royal license, and by [[3079]] had expanded their facilities to also begin manufacturing the first ''[[Vengeance (DropShip class)|Vengeance]]''-class fighter-carriers to be produced in the Federated Suns in decades.<ref name="O:FSp17">''Objectives: Federated Suns'', p. 17: "Salvatore Inc."</ref><ref name="O:FSp17+">''Objectives: Federated Suns'', p. 17: "Kallon Weapon Industries"</ref> Kallon also diversified beyond manufacturing DropShips at their Layover facilities, adding the refit of older DropShips as a side business; this proved a profitable enough venture that Kallon soon added it to their portfolio as a full-fledged product division.<ref name="O:FSp31+">''Objectives: Federated Suns'', p. 31: "Kallon Industries"</ref>
