Kaasu is a world famed for its many shipyards, which specialize in an unusual niche. The specialized surface shipyards are complemented by orbital yards, which are more conventional and run by the typical array of megacorporations.

Description

Non-canon: 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, built 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 hard points and advanced fire control. They are never delivered with weapons installed, preserving their civilian status.
