The Heavy Goods
Stellar Rings |
Most of the heavy industrial output of Nalydya has been moved to the outer worlds. While Nalydya, Hol Ka 'Suzt, Grazhni Yamsai and a few other core worlds have extensive orbital structures and are capable of considerable output (Grazhni Yamsai does serve as a primary VRZ shipyard), the dirty work of cannibalizing stars and dismantling planets for their resources is relegated to worlds far from Nalydya Prime. Consequently, Nalydya has a very strong merchant fleet and has considerable ability to move large quantities of goods from far-flung holdings relatively quickly courtesy of the rift.
While traditional methods of resource collection have served the nation well for countless millennia, with the advent of the Frankish War Pords have taken it upon themselves to invest heavily in rift foundries. These facilities take the raw, unrefined particulates of the rift and from them create metals that can be used in the construction of ships and heavy infrastructure. It is hoped that expanding the rift foundry base will completely remove the need for more traditional resource collection and system cannibalization. |
