Operator: United Earth Space Probe Agency (later United Earth Starfleet
Capacity: starship construction yard
Compliment: 198[1]
The Earth Drydock (later Starfleet Shipyard) was the primary space vessel assembly structure for the United Earth Space Probe Agency. The original dock was built in 2097 in orbit of Earth, with a shipyard management center attached to one side. The shipyard office and medical clinic are located in that center, along with berthing facilities and a dining complex, known as "Spacedock Cafeteria".[1]
In 2129, a second identical drydock—sans the management center—was completed.[2]
After nearly two years of negotiations, the facility, renamed as Starfleet Shipyard, was turned over to the UESF in March 2146, to serve as the primary space vessel assembly structure.[3]
