The Metalframes Fab processes refined steel and other alloys for the manufacture of large steel beams and numerous other heavy metal components. Even though most small and mid-sized space vessels today are no longer constructed mainly from steel, the demand for the steel is still high. In many places with higher-than-average radiation, steel-alloys can be more practical than energy shields or even PDD (poly-diamandoid). Many immobile space installations are constructed with a metal-alloy skeleton at their core.

The R&D Chem Lab (or, more correctly, the 'Research & Development Chemical Laboratory') researches, designs and produces chemical compounds for a wide variety of applications. Encompassing molecular compounds for pure technical applications, chemicals for specialised medical treatments and various pseudo-fluids used in nano-tech, the R&D Chemical Lab produces highly-specialised materials that are important in most areas of industrial manufacturing as well as in many areas touching day-to-day life.
