[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Exactly - or, better still, design work at the big Starfleet design center of UP, but construction work at one of the many facilities of the Antares Fleet Yards corporation, in this case its Bajoran Sector facility. To further extrapolate on the diversity of dockyard naming: McKinley Fleet Yards might be named after Earth Station McKinley (it inself named after a guy or gal called McKinley, probably, since why name it after Mt. McKinely when it can't really be synchronized with the location of this off-equator mountain anyway), but would include numerous smaller construction units in the vicinity, or even in other star systems. San Francisco Fleet Yards would be an older corporation named after the city instead of a space station. Utopia Planitia yards would in turn be named after the geological feature, instead of a city or a station, because the surface components would be located in that geological area. So the naming wouldn't be all that systematic. Instead, there would be various traditions and trade names in use. Most of the "Yards" we hear about wouldn't really be physical locations, but subcontractor corporations for Starfleet, only named after physical locations. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
