Sirius-type Drydock

The Sirius-type Drydock is Trident Foundries' new standard drydock facility of the 2430s.

Description
Sirius-type drydocks are massive automated structures that produce larger ships for the Trident fleet. Originally designed and built by (and for) the Sirius Shipyards corporation, they became widely used throughout the rest of Trident's spaceborne corporations due to their simple design and ease of use compared to the older, more complex Sol-type drydock.

The Sirius-type is large and robust enough to be used as a forward operating base in its own right, provided there is the capability to construct the station at the desired point in space. One such FOB based on the Sirius-type is TRS Quieros, above the gas giant Quieros VII in the anbaric vapour-rich Quieros system.

GY 2431
Engineers of the Sirius Shipyards corporation designed and constructed the first Sirius-type drydock in a stable location in the inner Sirius system in February 2431. Another 39 structures followed over the next year and a half, making Sirius Shipyards Trident's largest single shipbuilding location outside of the home system.

GY 2433
In early October of GY 2433, Trident expeditionary forces set up a single Sirius-type station in the resource-rich Quieros system, serving as a forward operating base for further expeditions.
