Hephaestus Construction is split in three segments :

Infrastructure Investments – Having a record of developing and financing projects over the last 15 years.

Construction Services - Manage strong construction businesses in the Crayter Republic , planetary and off world.

Support Services – Providing maintenance, upgrade and management services in power transmission, utilities infrastructure and road and rail.

Currently the company is dedicated into building on both planet Pecos and planet Yuma , enlarging the present mining operations on the Pecos and building new industrial complexes planet side and underground settlements and factories.

On planet Yuma , the Hephaestus is operating several sites , including the constructions of two more artificial islands , agricultural platforms and small industries complex.

Off world , Hephaestus is coordinating with CMI and Athena Squadron to build off-world mining operations on different planetary sites.

Currently , the Company is having on it’s payroll around 185.000 workers and is looking to improve the numbers in the future.

“You dream it , we build it!”

The Hephaestus Construction Ltd is offering the Crayter Republic the following artificial islands to be constructed on the oceans of Yuma and Borneo. The Islands are designed to be easily constructed and also at a fast pace, through the use of Nanobots specially programmed to consume the construction materials and to duplicate and form in necessary parts that are then assembled by the Construction Drones oversee by the human crew , ensuring thus the speed and the quality of the constructions.

The Nanobots is a major breakthrough which the Yuma Robotics is proud of. The nanobots are instructed first to consume the materials and by carefully introduced commands, the start to replicate thus increasing the materials that are to be used. Yuma Robotics carefully designed in their labs the 3D models for the modular construction, which is then relayed to the nanobots in their natural state. Once receiving the instructions, the nanobots are interlocking into producing the designed model. The model is then hold in the storage for 3 weeks and the nanobots are instructed to "die" leaving thus the "nanobot free material " that is going to be used.

Population: 370.000
Class: Springer
Type: Civilian

This U shaped island is largely extended on one side. The island is designed for civilian use capable of holding sky-towers and enough amnesties for a population of 370.000 people. Submerged 2 meters in the sea and having gyroscopes to stabilize the movement of the sea, the island is a marvel of Crayterian Engineering.

Shielding of the island protects it from the weather and any other intrusion, exiting and entering been made through small breaches if needed.

To construct the island, the costs are relatively low, needing 110 million credits for the purchase of the materials and assembly is done in 4 to 5 months.

The price is going as high as 150 million credits and is taking between 5 to 9 months to complete, depending on the size of the island .

Population: 17.388
Class: Minerva
Type: Civilian

Minerva class is designed to hold the laboratories and the science related buildings of the Republic.

The domes contains their own biosphere and accommodation, making sure that nothing is missing to the students and to the teachers that are on the islands, having top of the art equipment.

Prices for this are going as high as 220 millions and the construction time is estimated in between 7 to 9 months.

Population: 50.000
Class: Pegasus
Type: Military

The Pegasus class is designed as a combined model of domes and a ring structure guarded by two towers. The island is build in spartan way, making sure that the troops are having everything that they need and yet there is enough space to store the equipment and to have training area , however, they are not designed only for the Military use, being easily to convert for civilian usage as it has large living areas and storage capacity.
