Description
The Lima Forgeyards are a colossal orbital station hanging in the skies of Manturov. A sprawling complex of scaffolds, drydocks, and habitation modules serves as one of the sector’s primary construction and maintenance hubs. The station glitters with the constant flashes of plasma welders and the silent ballet of construction drones assembling the next generation of warships.
Key Areas

| Forgeyard Assembly Scaffolds | Six enormous drydocks, open to the void, where the skeletal hulls of capital ships are pieced together by swarms of construction drones and specialized engineering teams. A breathtaking and extremely dangerous work environment. |
| The Hub | The central commercial and residential spine of the station. It contains crew quarters, mess halls, small shops selling essentials, and corporate offices. It’s clean, sterile, and constantly monitored by security. |

Recent Events
An “industrial accident” in Forgeyard 3 recently caused a multi-day work stoppage and damaged a critical component for a UPN destroyer. Official reports blame faulty equipment, but rumors on the station floor point to sabotage by the Free People of Badigo. In response, Head of Security Kitty Kelley has drastically increased patrols and security checkpoints, causing friction with the workforce and slowing down production.
Adventure Hooks
The Mole Hunt: Commander Grafton suspects a mole within the UPN officer ranks is feeding ship movement schedules to outside parties. Unable to use her own personnel without tipping off the mole, she hires the party as “outside contractors” to investigate her own people.
