Iron Crown Productions

Upon unification in 17 ABY, the Jade Empire found itself in possession of several shipyards of varying capacities. Some, such as Miyamoto and the equally hidden Halcyon Yards, were kept under the aegis of the JEAF, but others were put under the name of a crown corporation: Iron Crown Productions.


 * Joy Yards: The orbital shipyard is the largest in JE space; the groundside manufacturing portion is also considerable.
 * Trevel'ka Yards: The Uul'ba-Rai shipyards, although damaged during the rebellion that produced the Rai Republic, have been repaired; they also involve a substantial groundside manufacturing base, which is easily the largest in JE space.
 * Isen Yards: The main shipyards of the Isen Star Empire were severely damaged during the Isen Civil War. They were partially repaired by the Bandit Kingdoms regime, and inclusion of slips from colony worlds has brought the Isen yards to functioning status. By most standards, these shipyards are small.

These yards, and the JEAF yards, are more than sufficient for Jade Empire needs. Iron Crown Productions constructs a portion of the Jade Empire's warships, but most of its time and energy is spent on private contracting. Iron Crown produces a substantial percentage of the Unknown Regions' freighters and transports, both generic and specific. For example, Iron Crown successfully markets mobile mining rigs to corporations on 244Core.

Iron Crown is a major employer on Trevel'ka and on Joy.

Even Jade Empire military-grade hardware can be commissioned. The JE understands the need for firepower in the Unknown Regions, even in private hands. Armed transports, fighterbombers and light capital ships are common purchases.
