Small Craft Development Berth

On each planet containing a branch of the Small Craft Development Bureau (SCD), as part of their facilities, they have between 50 and 250 berths where prototypes being tested are examined, prepared for their next test series and stored between tests.

All berths assigned to the SCD are formally identified by a code in the format SCD Berth # (Planet name). Often, they will take on temporary nicknames based on the name of the prototype.

For instance, between 5017 and 5020, SCD Berth 234 on Arsenal II was known as "Scorpion's nest" due to it being the home base of one of the Scorpion Prototypes.
