- Location: In orbit of Aelann, in the Freeworlds Region of the Par'tha Expanse
The Aelann Shipyards have been an integral cog in the interstellar operations of the Par'tha Expanse for several hundred years. Its employees reflect the multicultural environment of the system. Like all the worlds of the Expanse, Aelann became part of the Empire through fiat rather than subjugation. The original shipyards expanded to include an Imperial base.
The shipyards are made up of several hundred orbiting docks, each able to service several dozen bulk freighters or hundreds of smaller craft. Hundreds of thousands of dock workers, technicians, loadlift operators, mechanics, robot supervisors, and cargo inspectors team in and around the various ships in their docks and cradles. Many of the orbit docks are dedicated to servicing Imperial vessels. There is always at least one Imperial destroyer docked in the Imperial zone, undergoing routine maintenance.
The Yards are protected by both patrolling Imperial cruisers and armored defense platforms. The defense platforms are modern facilities manufactured by Balivari Industries. Most of the orbit docks themselves are over 200 years old, and are continually being updated and revamped to keep them safe and up to current technological standards.
