Description[edit]
This is an example of a typical large unpressurized yard, one of fewer than 100 shipyards providing construction and repair facilities for black water vessels. More common and less costly than pressurized yards, unpressurized yards often resemble skeletal frames. While this means their size virtually unlimited (although few in the Inner Sphere can service more than 500,000 tons), the work crews are forced to wear spacesuits at all times.
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
Yards are mostly unarmed and only thinly armored, relying on nearby defensive structures or the unwritten prohitibion of destroying lostech.
Cargo[edit]
The Cargo Bays are used for processing and storage.
Bay 1: Small Craft (20) - 4 doors
Bay 2: Cargo (4,221 tons) - 2 door
Bay 3: Unpressurized dry dock (600,000 ton capacity) - 1 door
