The shipyards on the surface specialize in an unusual niche. The orbital yards are more conventional and run by the typical array of megacorporations. However, a specific local manufacturer produces a suite of elite, high G acceleration, high agility civilian starship designs which are one step removed from military grade escorts and gunboats. They have low displacement thick armored hulls, amazing long range sensor suites, advanced computers and are beautifully streamlined with lean graceful lines. Available in bold and dynamic color patterns, they are however expensive, build in small lots to discerning clients, often from quite far afield. These features are justified because of the local high gravity necessitating high G thrusters and HEPLAR. The hydrographic percentage is accommodated by deep submersible features, armored pressure hull, gravitic maneuver, and sophisticated fuel scoops and fuel refineries. These designs have hardpoints and advanced fire control. They are never delivered with weapons installed, preserving their civilian status.
