History of the Brotherhood Shipyard

The Brotherhood Shipyard was a Zoner-aligned secret society of Freeport 1 in Omega-3. Founded in 720 AS, they primarily discussed ways to circumvent problems that occur when designing new fightercraft. One such debate was that of fuel source, with many members supporting the traditional H-Fuel cell, while almost as many supported using MOX-based nuclear batteries. The former was a safe choice, but the latter was a large saftey risk. The MOX battery had cost roughly the same and would outlast the rest of the ship, but if destroyed it would likely shatter, and even if the shards did not puncture the pilots's ejection suit the radiation surely would. This debate left deep wounds that virtually split the society, until 3 years later someone suggested a completely modular fighter, capable of using whatever parts the pilot. This mild suggestion made in passing slowly but steadily healed the wounds that had been made over the years. This idea revolutionized their method of construction which was st the time only semi-modular, exclusive to the ships armament and equipment. However, this demonstrates the omnipresent ideological tension between all of mankind.

Today, the Brotherhood Shipyard is an actual shipyard, a retrofitted Jinkusu-class Mobile Freeport. It has its own refineries, smelters, reprocessing plants, factories, and even shops.

Government

The Brotherhood Shipyard maintains an informal bicameral oligarchy. A council of regents known only by number, even to other regents, maintains all power over the course of the life of their citizens. The exception to this anonymity is Regent Zero, also known as the Chairman of the Ship. He or she is publicly known, and serves primarily to the people. Regent Zero is chosen by forum by the populace, by discussion until all qualms are settled. This is the same manner in which the Council of Regents operates. Regent Zero may also be another Regent, and as they are known by number only this is impossible to tell. Despite it being impossible to enforce, it is strictly forbidden to hold multiple regency positions, with Regent Zero being the only exception. In the event of war or emergency all power is held by Regent Zero, though the other regents maintain the power to end the state of emergency.
