[HDI] OS-Orbital Drydock Ring-445

Manufacturer: [HDI] Hephaestus Defense Industries

Series Line: Omega Series

Ship Class: Orbital Drydock Ring

Registry #: 445

Ship Name: Unlisted

Designation: OS-ODR-445



The ODR is a mobile orbital platform capable of jumping to new locations. Onboard systems allows the base to act as a functional fully furnished base with material processing and construction infrastructure. Although not designed for combat purposes, it is able to leave a hostile area under its own power but it wont be winning any races.

While able to function as a bystation for refueling, ammo restocking, and as a production plant, the main purpose of this ODR is to act as an FOB for factions to establish a presence in a given area. Medical wing allows crew to spawn on the ring with no issues.

Small grid oriented landing pad allows direct access to the hab module where most everything is controlled. Auxilary helm at the top of the center ring acts as a backup in case the hab module gets destroyed.

Inner ring connectors allow [HDI] ships easy docking access. 2 connectors (one on each side) allows the base to dock 2 welder craft in order to produce products on the spot from a blueprint in the projector. Be aware, building inside the ring can be hazardous to weld craft if the pilot is not wary of the ring.


Base Lore:

The ODR is a somewhat new addition to the equipment developed by [HDI] in that the project was actually offered by Nicholas Vettri in A.E. 139 during a thought experiment at Ordeon Academy. Previously, bulky and immobile bases were used, built in place, and unable to function in high orbit locations. The concept was initially disregarded but it was submitted to Exec. Valentine Johnson via email and immediately given to the R&D department. It was not only viable but would save billions in construction, payroll, and hazard costs. The first one completed was designated as the Vettri Orbital. It does not function in a military capacity but Nicholas and his family have a permanent residence on it and it serves as a basic waystation orbiting Pertam. It was produced and donated to the family as a good will gesture considering how much was saved due to the new project.
