Murdstone Yards
Murdstone Yards was the premier non-megacorporate ship builder in Zarushagaar. The Yards mainly built ships in the 100 to 5000 ton range, although some larger designs were constructed. A significant portion of the ships used by Tukera Lines in the sector originated at Murdstone. The company is known for its quality work and economical designs. Murdstone Yards is located on Murdstone/Epshu (Zarushagaar ).
The Yards were damaged in the Battle of Murdstone (353 to 356-1116) and are still only operating at half capacity. Murdstone declared itself an open planet on 160-1118 and thus far both sides have respected the declaration.
