The Ector System was a beacon of human civilization in the Red Ocean.
While it was not as well-developed as the central star nodes managed by the Red Two, Ector had become a veritable paradise for private shipbuilding companies!
Ector V's most prominent feature was not its heavily urbanized and industrialized surface, but the myriad of high-tech shipyards orbiting around the globe.
Their sizes, shapes, architecture and technologies varied considerably depending on their construction date and ownership.
However, they all made second-class orbital shipyards look like shabby junk shops. The expense put into their construction made it clear why their owners were loathe to sell them to other parties.
They were too damn precious to build!
Almost all of the shipyards in orbit of Ector V had been constructed with the help of bountiful financial and resource support from the old galaxy.
