Riverside Shipyard

The Riverside Shipyard was the ground-based Starfleet shipyard 2-1A located in Riverside, Iowa, Earth. The Riverside construction zone was under the SFC Division, United Federation of Planets, Sector 47. It was considered a maximum security zone; intruders could be met with lethal force.

History
In the mid-2250s, the USS Enterprise was constructed at the Riverside Shipyard. The shipyard was also an embarkation point from where Starfleet Academy cadets would travel to their training facilities. According to the ship's dedication plaque, although constructed in Iowa, the Enterprise was launched from San Francisco Fleet Yards.

In 2255, James T. Kirk boarded the military shuttle Bardeen at the Riverside Shipyard after Christopher Pike dared him to enlist in Starfleet and do better than his father the night at the nearby Shipyard Bar.

In 2259, one of the news feeds from UFP News showed a reporter doing a news piece from the shipyard.
