The Naval Shipyard is an important manufacturing and economic center of any port city that maintains one. These massive and sprawling compounds are crucial in the construction of everything from personal pleasure yachts and submarines to the massive battlecruisers employed by planetary governments. Advanced material processing plants, droid networking computer centers and large employee facilities are all required to support the resource-heavy and dependent shipyard. For ships that require a safe harbour, the Naval Shipyard is capable of providing a berth or dry docks. This allows a vessel to be repaired or retrofitted quickly and efficienctly.
The launching of a new vessel is an exciting time! Owners, Captains, their crews and the city at large often crowd around a new vessel to participate in its naming and debut. Although both the sky and space have called to adventurers in modern eras, the sea still remains an undeniable siren call to many and the Naval Shipard continues to provide and service the vessels that keep and maintain that dream and way of life alive.
