Somewhere out in the outer rim

A massive vessel moved between several different trading stations. Its hull was smooth and the underside looked like glass. The engine's flared to life every few minute's pushing the massive vessel ever closer to its intended target.

"This is Delious to Trading Station Alpha... requesting docking clearance." A groff and perhaps older voice spoke over the comm. line

The vessel floated there in space for several minutes before being granted permission. It began to move against toward the trading station, it rounded the corner and slowly pulsed its way toward the docking hatch.

"Contact in 5..." a bridge crew member said as she checked the distance and made several smaller corrections. When the ship was in position the hanger bay door's opened up and a large tube extended from the station, connecting to the hanger bay.

"Ship docked sir." Another person said. The captain nodded and got up, "Ok people.. we will only be here for a few hours. Until then, all bridge crew and related section's have RnR, you'll have shifts to keep track of all material's brought on board." with that said the captain left the bridge to check on some family matters.

A few minute's passed as the ship's crew found there way onto the trading station, a few stayed behind. "Guess I'll check the refinery to make sure nothing need's repair." A young crew member said as he made his way down the many corridors that latticed the vessel. It took him awhile before he would arrive at the refinery, a few worker droids buzzed around the room.

He checked the intact valves and several pipes before being satisfied that everyone was A-ok. The ship had just been completed not to long ago and would be going through an inspection before being allowed to construct any ships.

While he was thinking about it he also went to check on the construction droids that would be building the fighters and cruisers that would soon be constructed on this large vessel

"How's she look son?" A old gruffled voice spoke from above him, the young crewman looked up to see an older gentleman looking over the construction plant. "This is a wonderful piece of construction, and with it you can create another one like it eh?"

The crewman shook his head. "Only two where built, the Tissuss which was completed a year ago, and this one."

"Aaah. So why don't you create more?" the older man asked

"Because this shipyard used what remained of our resources, so it'll take us awhile before we can build another one like it in perhaps another year or so." The crewman sighed and walked over to one of the disabled construction droids.

"So, do you know what will be the first ship to roll off this girl's assembly line?" He asked and the crewman nodded. "I heard they'll be having us build a few mining corvette's and there sister ship, a frigate class refinery."

The older man nodded and looked over the rails. "How long do you think 'that' will take."

"These are droids.. I'd estimate a few months for the corvette's, perhaps three or four months for the frigate."

With that said, the older gentleman walked out of the construction module. The crew member just sighed and rubbed his head. "Who the hell was that man."

"That would be the inspector." The crewman nearly hit the wall when he heard the female voice behind him. "Ma'am!" he said as he turned. "If he was the inspector.. why did he talk to me and not the captain?"

The female smiled. "Because the captain would tell him what he 'wanted' the inspector to know. Instead of just showing him what was supposed to be shown." she said and noticed the confused look on the crewman's face. "In other words the inspector wanted to hear it from another person, and not from the captain. You did good." she said

A few day's later the inspector authorized the shipyard to be used, and soon the captain and crew where on there way.

The Shipyard "Delious" was now underway.
