Unity Shipyard

Unity Shipyard is a Starfleet shipyard in orbit of Matixx (Betazed Moon) that is dedicated solely to auxiliary ship production. It was completed in 2322. As an auxiliary-only shipyard, Unity is able to do without a number of specialized facilities required to produce military-grade hulls.

Placement of a second Starfleet shipyard at Betazed, hardly known as an industrial powerhouse, was driven by two factors. Firstly, it was a desire to maximize use of the material transport routes already in place to supply Oreasa Starfleet Yards. Second, an opportunity to repurpose some disused orbital infrastructure around Matixx allowed a discount on the project that made the resource expenditure more palatable. This repurposement has led to Unity looking quite different from many Starfleet shipyards and instead being reminiscent of Betazoid design aesthetics from 150 years ago, most notably including personnel sections that generate pseudo-gravity via rotation rather than modern grav plating. Even the name, "Unity", is inherited from the old structure, which was intended to combine diplomatic and environmental preservation functions.

Unity has five berths:
 * One 2mt berth (able to build super-freighters)
 * Four 1mt berths
