History and Background

Shurkig is famed for its commercial shipyards and the production of its (state-of-the-art) TL–15 vessels. All the standard designs (and many more besides) are built under license. They are all of excellent quality, constructed to the highest standards. There is a continuous backlog of orders, despite the world charging premium prices.

The yards are also a source of quality services; repairs, refits, spares and second-hand vessels. A consortium of many of the larger, well-established starship manufacturers on Shurkig are actively undertaking research in the development and implementation of TL–16 systems for commercial ships using technology imported from Ushra (Dagudashaag 1016).

World Starport (St)

Shurkig has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
