Point of Entry (zone)

The Cell Recharge Facility provides limited docking facilities for the automated transfer of depleted fuel cells and charged cells from and into vessels. Usually, Cell Recharge Facs are outfitted with their own processing lines so allowing them to either re-purpose depleted cells or to produce new ones. Cell Recharge Facs can be run with just a core crew; however full automation is rarely desirable as vessels docking for fuel cell transfer often require manual adaptation of their docking protocols.

The materials manufactured here are not only used in the construction of space installations or vessels but also for building structures on planetary surfaces. Regarded as a low-tech operation within a high-tech environment, the Metalworks Yard is an indispensable part of the general construction industry. It is usually operated without the aid of any advances AI or AGI.
