Dai factory ships

Dai factory ships‏‎

Slow moving gigant ships and mobile shipyards. These giants are floating factories providing the Dai society with everything they need. These ships are marvels of efficency, where nothing is wasted.

The loot of Dai raids is remanufactured or recycled into raw components and then put into the manufacturing process.

The Dai factories are run and operated by the largest tribes, smaller tribes purchase products by providing loot and materials. The Dai do not use slaves from other species, but much of the manual labor is done by the Daitah, a social group within the Dai society that is made up of both male and females that has no voice in the society as a whole.

Best analogy is that of a Serf.

There is very little contact between the Warrior Dai and the Daiath. The Factory ships are also large communities.

The largest factory ships are up to 10,000 meters long.

These ships are unarmed and only have very rudimentary shields. Usually parked in a planetary system and only moved when the Dai tribe moves on.

The location of these ships is generally kept secret and even other clans do their trade indirectly.

The loss of a Factory ship is often the deathblow to a Tribe.

It takes generations to built one.

The Union Dai have abandoned their factory ships in favor of Gigamon stations and of course can now rely on the Union market for general needs.
