Maintenance
Consumed continuously to keep the facility running. Starve it and it degrades.
SuppliedThe forge decks ring with construction, hull frames taking shape in the massive bays. Fresh alloy and dark matter feed the fabricators without pause.
StarvedBut lately — two of three construction bays sit idle, their fabricators cold. The forge master paces the deck, cursing supply shortages to anyone who'll listen.
Upgrade Chain
Crimson War Forge has no upgrade path — it is built once, at this level.
Lore
The War Forge occupies three full decks of the Citadel, with construction bays large enough for battlecruiser hulls. Every ship is built to Fleet specification: reinforced bulkheads, oversized weapon mounts, and armor that would make a Solarian engineer weep at the material cost. The forge master's standing order: 'If it doesn't survive a broadside, start over.'
