Catgirl Industries would like to acquire the Handwavium strain for this system... *G*
I don't know if the trekkies would sell the designs and strain when there is not a war going one, but it is a 'wave weapon system, so it is usually safe for people; I don't see any reason why they would not sell if (well, maybe if the girls joined the Galactic Republic or some other aberration)
The earliest time CI would ask for the design would be 2017 or maybe even 2019... (CI was founded in 2015, after the war ended). If its really a Trekkie design, CI will ask them about it.
Quote:Quote:Building 9 more ships within one year is quite a lot... how much of Marduk city is used as a shipyard?It is a lot, in hindsight. (and worse, it is 11 more ships, not 9, for a full dozen). I think only six will be fully finished, and the other six will have only the hull done by the end, not even engines (they may have been fitted with engines in a rush, and sent with no weapons or infirmary services just in time for the Fall of Boskone Prime)
The Marduk shipyards, before and after the war, aren't very important: They build Genesis construction ships, mostly. But they are, size-wise, big, because Genesis projects are big; and there is an entire materials industry nearby, because that's one of the things Genesis creates (space habitat domes need very hardy beams, to say nothing of the massive supports of Marduk and Kandor domes) There is also the big industrial dome outsde the city, wich has additional industries for droids, electronics and such.
During the war, trough, there were tens of thousands of belter refugees around. And every one of then was very motivated in the war effort, obviously. Their labor finished the city in record time, build the defenses, expanded the shipyard capacity tenfold, provided crew for the ships and manned the Kandor and Marduk militias. (there was never even the risk of an actual Boskonian attack in Marduk or all of Luna, but of course the belters will brag than this all was due to their defences)
Maybe you should write a bit more about this in the Marduk writeup.
