Orbital industry, characterized by the deployment and maintenance of high-tech space stations equipped for industrial production of various kinds, was used heavily by spacefaring humans in the Post Diaspora era.
Civilian and military starships were mostly manufactured in orbit of planets.
Examples[]
- Due to their planet's harsh environment, the people of the Protectorate of Grayson were heavily dependent on orbital industry and farming. Some of their installations, including Orbital Four, Five and Six, were destroyed by the Masadan Navy. (HH2)
