The [[Gunsan class Orbital Dockyard|''Gunsan'' class Orbital Dockyard]] is a {{TL|11}} large [[Orbital Dockyard]].
* Please also see [[AAB]] article: [[Ships of the Distant Fringe]].
 
== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
The [[Shipyard|Orbital Dockyard]] is a large commercial orbital facility found within [[system]]s in the [[Distant Fringe]] region. It is classified as an [[Orbital Complex]]. Similar designs have been in use from the time the [[Distant Fringe]] was first settled.

=== General Description ===
The [[Shipyard|dockyard]] is constructed as a [[Dispersed Structure]]. The core of the station is the yard space, an empty cylinder surrounded by joined rings with an enclosed volume of approximately 1.3 million [[Ton|dTon]]s. Sections within this cylinder are set aside as maintenance facilities, an engineering plant, and an equipment testing facility: each area has multiple hangars and sealed compartments.
 
The main section of the [[Shipyard|dockyard]] is a boxy structure built onto the exterior of the rings. It contains much of the heavy machinery, the operations control center, and the crew and passenger accommodations. An enclosed boatyard is set aside for the manufacture of smaller [[starship]]s and [[smallcraft]].

Each area of the [[Shipyard|dockyard]] can be accessed by transportation pods that follow trackways mounted on the interior of the yard rings. All sections of the yard can also be accessed by internal walkways, though many areas have no grav plates and some sections may not be pressurized.

The [[Shipyard|dockyard]] mounts x80 Heavy [[Repulsor]] units in [[bay]]s spread over the interior of the yard space rings. These are used as construction tools, working in groups to maneuver and manipulate very large components.

=== Basic Ship Characteristics ===
Following the [[Imperial Navy]] and [[IISS]] [[Universal Ship Profile]] and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The [[small craft]] factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}

| 1.
| [[Ton|Tonnage]]
| The [[Shipyard|Orbital Dockyard]] is constructed using a 90,000 [[Ton|dTon]] [[hull]] built in a [[Dispersed Structure Hull|dispersed structure]] configuration. The [[hull]] is [[Unstreamlined Hull|unstreamlined]] and cannot survive entry into a planetary [[atmosphere]].
* Individual sections of the [[Shipyard|dockyard]] are divided by [[Bulkhead Wall|bulkhead wall]]s.
* There are multiple [[airlock]]s located around the [[Shipyard|dockyard]].
* The complex is not capable of surface landings and risks catastrophic structural failure in significant gravity wells.
|-
| 2.
| [[Crew]]
| Total Crew Complement: 516
* x45 Command, x36 [[Engineer]]ing, x162 [[Gunner]]y, x270 [[Service Crew|Service]], and x3 [[Medic]]al Staff.

''Accommodations:'' <br>
There are x1000 [[Stateroom]]s.
* x320 [[Stateroom]]s are given over to [[Crew Quarters|crew quarters]]. Officers and senior staff have individual cabins: all other quarters are double occupancy.
* x80 [[Stateroom]]s are given over to machine shops, office space, recreational facilities and a large medical bay.
* x600 [[Stateroom]]s are provided for construction crews, engineering teams, specialists, and visitors.

Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with [[grav plate]]s and [[inertial compensator]]s and have full [[Life Support|life support]] and [[Ship Environmental Control|environmental]] systems.
* There are secure lockers with a total volume of 80 [[Ton|dTon]]s.
* There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the facility. Sections of the [[Shipyard|dockyard]] can be isolated in the event of an emergency.
* There are multiple [[Emergency Locker]]s.
|-
| 3.
| [[Maneuver Drive|Performance]]
| The [[Shipyard|dockyard]] mounts a [[Maneuver Drive|Maneuver half-drive]], and a [[Power Plant]]-1, giving performance of 0.5-G acceleration (sufficient for orbital positioning only) and producing 900 [[Energy Point]]s. The [[Shipyard|dockyard]] does not have an agility rating. The dedicated internal [[Fuel Tank|fuel tankage]] gives the [[power plant]] 4 [[week]]s duration.
* The engineering section has a number of control rooms.
** Ladders, gantries and platforms give access to the machinery.
|-
| 4.
| [[Ship's Computer|Electronics]]
| Adjacent to the [[bridge]] is a [[Model/5 Computer]]: the [[Shipyard|dockyard]] has x3 backup [[Model/5 Computer]]s.
* There are multiple [[workstation]]s and [[Control Panel|control points]] throughout the station.
* The [[Shipyard|dockyard]] is fitted with [[Communications_Equipment#Shipboard_Communications|communications equipment]] and an advanced [[Ship Sensor Suite|sensor array]].
** It is fitted with multiple backup commo and sensor systems.
* It has a [[transponder]] unit that can be deactivated on command.
|-
| 5.
| [[Ship's Hardpoint|Hardpoints]]
| x900 [[hardpoint]]s.
* The listed battery groupings are considered standard for the station. Alternative battery groupings may be designated for specific situations.
* There are 100 unused [[hardpoint]]s. No additional space is set aside for fire control.
|-
| 6.
| [[Ship's Weapon|Armament]]
| The [[Shipyard|dockyard]] is unarmed.
|-
| 7.
| [[Ship's Defense|Defenses]]
| The [[hull]] is [[Heavy Armor|unarmored]].

x80 100-[[Ton]] [[bay]]s, mounting [[Repulsor]]s. The [[Repulsor]]s face inward and are used as construction tools, using [[Gravitic Control Technology|gravitic]] forces to manipulate and maneuver large components.

The [[Shipyard|dockyard]] is not fitted with [[screen]]s or other passive defensive systems.
|-
| 8.
| [[Smallcraft|Craft]]
| The [[Shipyard|dockyard]] is not supplied with intrinsic [[subcraft]]: these are purchased as required by the yard's operators.

''Hangars'' <br>
There are multiple large enclosed [[hangar]]s located around the station: the [[hangar]]s have a total volume of 50,000 [[Ton|dTon]]s and can be sealed.
|-
| 9.
| [[Fuel Purification Plant|Fuel Treatment]]
| The [[Shipyard|dockyard]] has dedicated internal [[Fuel Tank|fuel tankage]] of 900 [[Ton|dTon]]s.

The yard has auxiliary [[Fuel Tank|fuel tankage]] of 2,600 [[Ton|dTon]]s, sufficient to provide an operational supply of [[Ship Fuel|fuel]] to vessels berthed within it.
* The structure is not fitted with [[fuel scoop]]s.
* The yard is not equipped with [[fuel purification]] equipment. The [[Ship Fuel|fuel]] held within the station's [[fuel tank]]s is provided by commercial [[Tanker]] vessels.
|-
| 10.
| [[Imperial Currency|Cost]]
| The basic cost of the station is [[MCr]]30,060.950
* If multiple examples of the design are ordered all of the units in the production run qualify for a 20% discount, which reduces the price per unit to [[MCr]]24,048.760.
* The station is a standard design. Detailed architectural plans are widely available and no design fee is chargeable.
|-
| 11.
| [[Naval Architecture|Construction Time]]
| 205 [[week]]s (51 months) as standard.
* Build times can be reduced by mass production and the efficiencies such processes generate, by increased financing, and by allotting additional yard resources and facilities to the construction contract.
|-
| 12.
| Comments
| Standard [[Cargo Hold|cargo capacity]] amounts to 14,000 [[Ton|dTon]]s. Some of this space is occupied by specialist manufacturing equipment and machinery, though much holds preassembled ship components and fittings and a range of raw and processed materials necessary to the construction process.
* The [[cargo hold]]s can be sealed and have independent [[Life Support|life support]] and [[Ship Environmental Control|environmental]] systems.
* Sections of the [[cargo Hold|hold]] may be isolated if desired and can be provided with specialized environmental conditions, typically refrigeration.
