Craft Development Bureau

The Craft Development Bureau of the Union Navy is divided into four bureaus, three for combat craft and the third that is considered "non combat".


 * Small Craft Development Bureau - Concerns itself with spacecraft smaller than a Destroyer.

All four of these bureaus have similar tasks
 * Medium Ship Development Bureau - Is responsible for ships between Destroyer size and Capital Ships.
 * Capital Ship Development Bureau - Is responsible for Capital Ships.
 * Auxilary Ship Development Bureau - Is responsible for cargo ships as well as other non combat ships, including those carried by Destroyers or larger ships.
 * Create a list of requirements for new ships within the size range they are responsible for, if necessary working with other bureaus to ensure that the next generation of ships they are designing are compatible with each other.
 * In some cases, not only will the bureau provide the requirements, leaving up to the companies bidding to actually design the new ship, it will provide the desired design and have them bid on the cost and delivery rate.  Any company that runs over on costs and is consistently late on deliveries can be fined and prohibited from bidding to supply the Union Military for a certain period of time.
