Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards

The Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, or Utopia Planitia Shipyards, is a key Starfleet vessel construction and design facility in the 24th century. It is partly positioned in synchronous orbit 16,625 kilometers above the Utopia Planitia region on Mars, including the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yard's planetary construction facilities.

The Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in orbit of mars are among Starfleet's most well established Starship construction facilities. These famous shipyards are responsible for building a number of illustrious vessels.

It has been recognized since the latter half of the 20th century that the best place to construct starships is the void of space. Free from the burden of gravity, previously unthinkable manufacturing techniques become commonplace. When starfleet first formed the United Federation of Planets, the design and construction of warp capable spacecraft becomes a priority.

=History=

The Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards have seen many design, testing and construction of many significant vessels, although all aspects of production are basically the same for any new ship. Construction usually takes place within a huge network of manufacturing and assembly platforms, which orbit in a vast area around Mars and consists of a multi-functional skeletal armatures, arranged in such a way as to easily accommodate the shape of the new craft. Many repair facilities share a common design, such as Earth Station McKinley, whose jointed support arms can cover the major hard connect points on a starship and allow crews to work on many parts of the vessel at the same time.
