Shipyard
Overview
A shipyard is a significant undertaking, creating a facility specifically designed for the creation and support of naval vessels.
Senate Commissions
The Imperial Senate may pass a motion for the construction of a shipyard. The senate must select a territory, and a region within that territory that possesses the coastal quality, where the shipyard will be constructed.
Benefits
Great Port
A shipyard always functions as a great work, improving the profits of all fleets based in the territory where it is built. Each season, all fleets operating from the territory will have an equal share of a bounty of 900 rings, Unlike the other benefits, this economic advantage applies only to fleets operated by citizens of the nation where the shipyard is built. The usual restrictions on multiple great works apply to other great works built in the territory.
The Imperial Senate can use a shipyard to commission the construction of an Imperial navy. A single shipyard can work on only one Imperial navy at a time, and can build a navy for any Imperial nation regardless of which nation controls the territory where the shipyard has been built.
Refuge
An Imperial navy may take refuge in a friendly shipyard using the put to port order. This is a special order which causes the navy to withdraw into the shipyard. In addition to being protected from naval attacks, the navy will recover additional fighting strength each season.
Costs
- Materials: 30 wains of Weirwood and 20 wains of White Granite

When the shipyard is commissioned, the Senate may choose to increase the materials to improve the quality of the port.
