Overview
Faringor Spaceworks is the central shipyard of the Federated Republic of Faringor Habitats and operates as a public-private partnership. Originally a repair yard, it was transformed under Jaques de’Lacuois into a full naval shipyard capable of building warships, while also illegally absorbing frigate and destroyer designs during the post-secession chaos. In 2453 the yard operated two active docks; after Saney’s investment through Artalan Corporation, it expanded to three docks by 2455, turning it into the key industrial asset of Faringor’s strategic ambitions. It is an oligopolist in the local and regional shipyard market, but remains a niche player in the wider interstellar shipbuilding industry.

History
Repair Yard Origins
Faringor Spaceworks began as a repair shipyard serving local orbital traffic and the dispersed habitats of the system. Its original role was practical rather than prestigious: keeping hulls, shuttles and industrial craft operational in a system dependent on space infrastructure.
Transformation
Under Jaques de’Lacuois, the yard was rebranded and pushed toward full naval shipbuilding. This transformation relied not only on local ambition and rising demand, but also on the illegal takeover of frigate and destroyer projects that gave Faringor Spaceworks a shortcut into military production.
Major Events
- 2453: Faringor Spaceworks operates two active docks during the post-secession shipyard boom.
- 2455: After Saney’s investment through Artalan Corporation, the shipyard expands to three active docks.
Relations
Allies & Partners
- Federacyjna Republika Habitatów Faringoru — principal political and defense customer
- Artalan Corporation — external investor with a 15% stake
- Morgan Saney — key investor enabling the 2455 dock expansion
Rivals & Competitors
- External shipyards — competitors for large military and civilian contracts
- Legal claimants to the acquired designs — potential future threat if ownership of frigate and destroyer projects is challenged
Regulators & Authorities
- Federacyjna Republika Habitatów Faringoru — defense procurement, strategic industry oversight and legal exposure management
Notes
- Capacity pressure: Demand exceeds comfortable dock capacity, forcing constant schedule juggling.
- Legal risk: The illegal acquisition of frigate and destroyer designs is a central political vulnerability.
- Scale split: Faringor Spaceworks is locally and regionally an oligopolist, but globally a small niche player in shipbuilding.
- Strategic asset: The shipyard gives Faringor military and diplomatic weight disproportionate to its population.
