Having been completed just as the war with Rheinland started at the end of 817 A.S., Washington now serves as the primary warship maintenance, manufacturing and refit facility of the Liberty Navy.

Washington Shipyard was initially a much smaller station called [[San Jacinto Station|San Jacinto]], a small waystation and supply depot that [[Liberty]] had used during the initial stages of development in [[Virginia]]. Established in 787 [[A.S.]], the station was virtually abandoned once [[Richmond Station|Richmond]] was completed. It was not until the start of tensions with [[Rheinland]] that the station would see new use.
Original development began twenty years ago with the construction of San Jacinto station. Once the station's construction was completed further development was put on halt, primarily due to budget cuts for the Liberty Navy and also because the shipyards Juneau and Norfolk were more than capable of manufacturing and maintaining the entire space-borne Liberty war machinery.
 
  
San Jacinto once again turned into a hot topic for the Republic's leader and Admiralty following the discovery of planet Columbia. But the ultimate decision to continue development was dictated by the rising tensions with Rheinland.
+
Liberty, like all houses, suffered losses during the [[Nomad Wars]]. In 813 A.S., as tensions with [[Rheinland]] started to mount, it realised it was not ready for a full scale inter-house conflict. Its sovereignty threatened, the [[Liberty Navy]] was given the task to prepare for a possible war - the [[Liberty Security Force]] had determined Rheinland was rearming itself rapidly. The [[Juneau Shipyard|Juneau]] and [[Norfolk Shipyard|Norfolk]] yards did not have enough capacity to both repair damaged ships and produce sufficient new ones at the same time, so a new shipyard was needed. The orbit of [[Planet Columbia]] was chosen for this task, with security in mind.  
With war on the horizon it was quickly decided to turn San Jacinto into a new shipyard which was far cheaper than constructing a new full-scale station from scratch.
+
 
Due to San Jacinto's old positioning being no longer strategically ideal, it was decided to tow the station into the orbit of Planet Columbia, where it would be within protective reach of the planetary defenses and hidden within the Arlington Minefield.
+
Always willing to be efficient, engineering teams towed the small [[San Jacinto Station]] into orbit of Columbia, and started to expand it, using the small supply base as a station core. Drydocks and manufacturing facilities were added, and in 815 A.S. the shipyard initiated it's first major construction project, [[Battleship James]]. Upon completion of the ship, the station was renamed to "Washington Shipyard".
 +
 
 +
At present the Washington yard is dedicated to the construction of new ships, whereas Norfolk is dedicated to the maintenance of damaged vessels. Juneau switches between roles based on need.
  
Construction of extensive shipyard and material storage facilities began quickly and excess funding was alotted to complete the project as soon as possible. The Liberty Navy seized the opportunity and made sure that San Jacinto itself would possess production capabilities that would even surpass those of Juneau, on top of being able to maintain 50 percent of the fleet on its own. Ultimately the station was renamed to 'Washington Shipyard', as it was no longer the maintenance and resupply station that San Jacinto alone had been.

Washington Shipyard was initially a much smaller station called San Jacinto, a small waystation and supply depot that Liberty had used during the initial stages of development in Virginia. Established in 787 A.S., the station was virtually abandoned once Richmond was completed. It was not until the start of tensions with Rheinland that the station would see new use.

Liberty, like all houses, suffered losses during the Nomad Wars. In 813 A.S., as tensions with Rheinland started to mount, it realised it was not ready for a full scale inter-house conflict. Its sovereignty threatened, the Liberty Navy was given the task to prepare for a possible war - the Liberty Security Force had determined Rheinland was rearming itself rapidly. The Juneau and Norfolk yards did not have enough capacity to both repair damaged ships and produce sufficient new ones at the same time, so a new shipyard was needed. The orbit of Planet Columbia was chosen for this task, with security in mind.

Always willing to be efficient, engineering teams towed the small San Jacinto Station into orbit of Columbia, and started to expand it, using the small supply base as a station core. Drydocks and manufacturing facilities were added, and in 815 A.S. the shipyard initiated it's first major construction project, Battleship James. Upon completion of the ship, the station was renamed to "Washington Shipyard".

At present the Washington yard is dedicated to the construction of new ships, whereas Norfolk is dedicated to the maintenance of damaged vessels. Juneau switches between roles based on need.
