Just as the Techno-Complex, the Arms Tech Fab (or 'ATF') is run by sandboxed and AI-constrained AGI, and supervised by psychologically-monitored humans or aliens. Components manufactured range from miniaturised mechanical parts up to mobile platforms, and from simple nanotronic parts to energy-shielding assemblies. Working at the ATF is highly-paid, highly-respected, but psychologically very exhausting employment.

As a compound manufacturing various high-tech components, mostly for use in military applications, the Techno-Complex relies heavily on AGI (artificial general intelligence). However, due to its critical nature in warhead production, it is ultimately supervised by humans or aliens. All AGIs are sandboxed and in-turn supervised by hard-wired AI. Also all biological life-forms are subjected to daily psychological examinations.

The URV BTO Line complex assembles components manufactured by the URV Parts Supply complex into fully functional URVs (or drones). Drones are BTO (built to order) singly or in variable-sized batches to meet a variety of user requirements, and each single drone has to undergo strict and specific-to-role testing. URV BTO Line complexes are run by a small staff of very-skilled URV designers and test engineers.
