Sar Alpha Warp Core Assembly Plant

A small facility in the Sar Alpha sector that produces at most four cores per year to cover new builds and repairs/replacements. It was originally spun up to assist Delta Vega Core Yard in the ongoing rush of Renaissance orders, which had to deliver as many as a dozen cores per year to cover Starfleet and some member fleet orders. The Sar Alpha system is the smallest of the Tellar State council worlds, and being selected as a warp core production site was viewed as a great honour. The plant itself is built into a planetoid known as Phar Duk, and its name among the locals - though not internally to Starfleet - is Norgrunk Phar Duk.

About a thousand staff are involved in Sar Alpha, and most of them live on site at Torb Phar Duk, a tight-knit settlement.

Type-I Production
The Type-I Production, a revised variant of the Type-I Experimental, is a 40 Eridani A design group product, originally built at Delta Vega. With that plant now moving on to furnish the Kepler project, Sar Alpha is responsible for legacy core production, and maintaining the stock of replacements. Currently producing three per year, and likely dropping to two per year to maintain stock levels.

The production load was always a little less than it could have been, as the Type-I was fairly easy to develop production capacity for, and most member states chose to develop their own capacity.
