Colonial Defence Force Shipyards, Scorpia

Joining the Colonial Fleet ensures that our Colonies have a future to survive. Joining the Fleet means serving on a Battlestar. Here at the Scorpio Fleet Ship Yards is where most new cadets are stationed aboard the Battlestar they were chosen for. Scorpio is also where most Battlestars are re-fitted as well as retro-fitted for their battles against the Cylons.

 

New designs for the Battlestars are created here as well. This facility holds anywhere from 8000 to 10,000 crew that work on the Battlestars at any given time. Not many weapons are evident since there are at any given time 7 to 10 Battlestars present at times.
