Description

This is an example of a typical medium satellite factory station built to provide materials which have been produced or refined in zero-G conditions. While they had been neglected during the Succession Wars, the resurgence of technology has seen a similar resurgence in factory station construction.

Weapons and Equipment

Medium/Large factory stations carry dedicated anti-fighter and anti-missile weapons and are modestly armored.

Cargo

The Cargo Bays are used for processing and storage.

Bay 1: Small Craft (12) - 2 doors
Bay 2: Cargo (8,184.5 tons) - 2 doors
Bay 3: Factory Unit (1) - 2 doors

Variants

There are numerous variations, depending on level of automation, weight, armament, and other factors. Large factori stations can mass up to 200,000 tons.
The largest known factory station (containing a fully automated germanium-ore refinery) is located in the Galax system and is operated by Federated-Boeing Interstellar.
