Shipyard
The Shipyard is the industrial heart of any spacefaring empire.
Here, fleets are assembled from raw materials into fully operational starships ready to patrol the galaxy.
Shipyards combine heavy orbital construction platforms with planetary manufacturing complexes capable of assembling hull sections, propulsion systems, and advanced weapon arrays.
Mechanics
- Enables construction of all ships.
- Larger ship classes unlock at higher levels.
- Construction speed improves with research upgrades.
Lore
Shipyards are among the largest structures ever built by colonial engineers. Massive orbital gantries stretch kilometers into space, where ship hulls are assembled piece by piece before their first launch.
From small reconnaissance craft to colossal capital ships, every vessel begins its life within the dry docks of a shipyard.
Strategy
Shipyards are essential for military expansion.
Higher levels become increasingly valuable when:
- Producing large fleets
- Unlocking advanced ship classes
- Accelerating ship production during wartime
