Yoyodyne Assembly Plant

The Yoyodyne Assembly Plant is the second largest warp core assembly plant in the Federation, after the Venus Warp Core Assembly Plant. It is based in the Andor system, around the gas giant Andor V. It has a staff of three thousand dedicated mostly-Andorians who live in an orbital facility known as Lujiat with a matching orbit. A shuttle makes the daily commute.

Type-III Block-B
It was a major point of pride for the Andorians when a Type-III warp core was selected for the Comet project. Although, to their irritation, the core in the Comet prototype is a bespoke production from Venus, the cores for the main production run will come from Yoyodyne. Yoyodyne engineers were attached to Venus for the project, and their lessons were used to establish the production line. For the past two years, the plant has built four, then six cores, and are expected to build ten during 2325, enough to fulfil what may be as many as twenty new builds.

This Warp Core is typically delivered fitted with the attached Luna-VI High-Efficiency injector system, designed by the Luna Commune. This injector is received from Exotic Matter solutions, as the Vancouver Orbital Plant is handling the new Luna-VII line.

Yoyodyne Mark VIII Mod H & L Coolant
This coolant system is used by the Ambassador project, and is married up to the ONA-III-H produced at Venus. This production line is a major one, as the SBD coolant fluid used by here is also in use by many other coolant systems. Establishing a Spinwards production plant for the coolant is regarded as a critical need for security purposes.

The Mod L coolant is used by the Comet and Kepler designs, a sub-line of the larger Mark VIII Mod H.

Nacelle Yard
The Nacelles are assembled outside of the facility, though an internal facility is responsible for the single-casting and gaussing of the individual coils.

Research & Development
Not only does Yoyodyne undertake unit R&D, they are also a source for the Yoyodyne contribution to the Ship Design Bureau.

The Type-III Block-B is a Yoyodyne design from start to finish. The Type-III designation is assigned from the Ship Design Bureau for all Yoyodyne warp core designs.
