CRAP! I WAS WRONG!

The Orions in the previous post are on Builder Station training for the Ane Merchant MArine

I was thinking of High Crystal Station

Crystal City is on the ground

DERP!

Or maybe the Ane Merchant Marine academy is on High Crystal Station? IDK!

It would be on Builder Station. Simply for the room it offers, and access to working starships. High Crystal is a commercial high port for Crystal City.

You get few traders docking at Builder station. It is Starfleet business or starship construction. It is a major shipyard.

They could be at either station, all work and no play after all. Even the ground side Crystal City Bazaar. Your call, any works for your narrative.


The Builders have restored Builder Station to its peak performance. It could build another Starfleet in a year with sufficient materials and workers.

No the ADF is not getting larger. It is limited by the number of Ane willing to do it, not the number of ships they can build.

Yup

This is why they're willing to hire randos I make up to drive cargo ships around.

People are the choke point. Builder Statuion has reserves of new ships lacking only crews. When the lily pad project started the automated ship yards went into over drive. Hailey 1 gets monthly shipments by Mastadon of completed vessels. Patrol frigates, cargo ships and S&R cutters. They are fitted out and space tried.


And no, not high efficiency warp drives. Standard stuff that does not require an RI to run it.
