Deep Space Engineering - DSE)

[Deep Space Engineering]

INTRODUCTION

Formed in the dawn of Libertonian life in Sirius, Deep Space Engineering has held a central position of infrastructural development in the sector. The ongoing project of building and maintaining the physical gate/lane network has always been the primary directive of DSE, but it has lead to the emergence of several secondary roles; exploration, mineral extraction and processing, and ship construction also adorn the corporate profile. DSE is fundamental to the influential position of Liberty in Sirius today.

Ageira, Universal Shipping, and Deep Space Engineering share a threefold partnership - that is, Ageira creates the Jumpgate and Tradelane parts, Universal ships them to the DSE sites, and DSE places the parts into the rest of the Jumpgate or Tradelane machinery that they have constructed. This is how it has been done for centuries, and it has led to the growth and prospering of all companies involved. They are the architects of Sirius, linking the colonies together with Jumpgates and Tradelanes. Without their watchful eyes over the Jumpgate and Tradelane the system, Sirius would fall apart and the ease of travel and communication we take for granted would no longer exist.

STANDARD OPERATIONS

Standard daily operations consist primarily of gate/lane construction and maintenance, supplies hauling, mining, and survey exploration. All operations contribute to gate/lane construction in one form or another; mineral deposits are sought out and surveyed, after mining operations are established they supply shipyards and component factories with material resource whose products are then used to maintain the actual construction sites. DSE is not completely self-sustained, however, primarily in regard to materials and freight hauling. Many necessary materials are imported from other houses and Universal Shipping and various independent traders aid in hauling whiteboxes to outlying sites.

Engineering Department: Engineers are more or less split into the two major operational areas of gate/lane construction and ship construction. Engineers are also on duty for field repairs.

Freight Department: Most current freight routes consist of assisting Lioberty Security Force with base maintenance, and moving premium scrap out of New York to be recycled. While smaller contracts are often secured, the main focus is on the clean up effort in New York.

Mining Department: Non-planetary mining is based primarily in New Yprk with a heavy focus on the premium scrap. Other than mining, the only other major responsibility of the Mining Department is prospecting.

Science, Research, and Technology (Exploration) Department: The DSE Exploration Department is relatively small, consisting mostly of scientists accompanying DSE ships in the field. However, the department also consists of a few scientific vessels each with either specific or broad assignments in deep space.

Security Department: The security of DSE assets and personel is paramount, hence the singular responsibility of this department. Not only are Security ships attached to most departmental wings and field operations, but Security ships can also seen throughout the corporate zone of influence patrolling supply routes and standard operational areas, cleaning out threats.

BASES OF OPERATION

The main bases of Operation for Dee[p Space Engineering are as follows:

Chesterfield Station, New York

• Chesterfield Station is a modular space station located between Norfolk Shipyard and the Pittsburgh Debris Field, in the heart of Liberty's New York system. The station is the centerpiece of Deep Space Engineering that specializes in large scale logistical solutions, construction, and reclaiming and re-purposing metal waste. Chesterfield Station is a favorite rest stop for Deep Space Engineering staff, and allies, thanks to a number of state-of-the-art recreational and dining facilities.
  
  Chesterfield Station had been in planning for some time. As Deep Space Engineering pride themselves as being one of the best in the construction industry, there were delays in the planning stages while they insured the station would be perfect for its unique purpose. Once permission was granted from the Liberty Government, construction began. The initial stages of construction were finished in early 827 AS. Since then, construction and upgrades have not stopped. By the end of the first quarter of 827, the second stage of construction was complete and Chesterfield Station was deemed safe for general use, despite still being classed as a construction site. Assistance from allies such as Ageira Innovations and the Junker Congress in regards to importing supplies has allowed for this construction to progress quickly.
  

Baltimore Shipyard, New York

• Baltimore Shipyard is the primary shipyard used by Deep Space Engineering, and was constructed to service overall DSE operations. Baltimore Shipyard was originally constructed by Deep Space Engineering in 699 A.S., after they moved their headquarters to the planet Pittsburgh. The shipyard is known for its quality manufacturing processes on the construction of numerous vessels, including civilian liners and yachts, and even a number of smaller craft such as the "Chesapeake" class shuttle. Although the shipyard takes construction orders to manufacture civilian vessels to the client's specifications, there is usually a waiting list as priority is given to Deep Space Engineering transports and luxury liners. The Xenos are also reputed to have contacts at Baltimore that supply them with spare parts for small fighters and occasionally bombers, but this is always strenuously denied by DSE executives
  

Planet Pittsburgh, New York

• Planet Pittsburgh is the location of the Deep Space Engineering headquarters. The planet was not considered a good candidate for terraforming and remained sparsely populated until a full-scale mineral survey in 650 AS pinpointed deposits of Boron in the form of borax salts deep within the Corridera Plateau. A mining operation was established on the planet in 660 AS by Deep Space Engineering to exploit these deposits, and it is now the only raw material extraction facility within Liberty space. Pittsburgh is covered by a single vast desert, broken only by large rocky outcroppings that were big enough to escape being swallowed up by the sand. Since the success of DSE's boron mining operations, there has been an increasing need for miners and other workers. Many refugees that come seeking asylum in Liberty often get redirected to Pittsburgh to find work in the boron mines, and to live in the cities that are slowly sprawling outwards around the mining facilities, and Liberty authorities estimate that Pittsburgh's population will reach the 85 million mark by 826 A.S.
