===== Prometheus Forge =====
//Created by: Cobalt Greywalker//

===== Known Vehicle Quirks =====
* //Close the Damn DOORS!:// Each and every door automatically closes after 5 seconds with nothing in the way, unless constantly opened or jammed. This includes the recently installed atmospheric bulkheads, the dock doors, the cupboards, the wardrobes, the doors on the toy car someone brought in the other day...
* //"Three up, two across.":// Due to a trade with a Wizard who wanted a 'Mad Eye', all the large external doors are waved stone blocks that expand and compress to open and close.
* //What's in the back of the Wardrobe?:// All the wardrobes in the base have mysteriously manifested outfits that match the people living in the rooms (however temporarily). A.C.'s has a full Super Sailor Mars fuku (which doesn't match any material made by the Senshi faction), Andy's has a Greek toga, Kasumi has a spectacular silk kimono, etc... It does mean that no spy would go undetected.
* //The Tower of Babel:// Due to a weird combination of jokes and misunderstandings, the asteroid is not called Prometheus Forge on available charts of the Solar System even though thats what everybody calls it.
===== Known Crew Quirks =====
* //"What'cha doing Mr Batou?":// The Tachikomas' have childlike inquisitiveness, and frequently ask questions about things going on in the Forge. This is exacerbated by the fact they can take over the drones wondering around, and this has imprinted a similar sort of semi-sentience in them.
===== History =====
When A.C. lifted in mid 2008, he went deep into the Belt looking for a good rock to use as both a base and supply of materials. After finding one that fit his needs, he set up shop. It's expanded in fits and starts since then, gradually becoming more like a major base than a personal residence. As such the early sections don't have much in the way of organisation to their layout, making people walk through the various greenhouses, labs, and manufacturing rooms to get to places.\
It often surprises people that Prometheus Forge doesn't have a First to its name. It might have, but A.C.'s a private individual by nature and probably didn't broadcast the events.\
It also surprises the very few people that learn to know that Prometheus Forge does a fair amount of trade with the rest of Fenspace. It produces a quarter of the Battle Cosmetics used in the system, a tenth of the Quick-Heal bandages as part of the conglomerate controlling them, and 5% of the fruit and vegetables eaten in the Belt. Besides this, the Forge ships out 20 to 30 very high quality Cybernetic replacements and about 3 tonnes in spares, deals with maybe 4 paying customers a year for unique cybernetics and biomods, and recently an erratic but constant supply of drones. Of note is the quiet production of Whisky. Andy keeps the best of it for himself, but sells any that do not meet his high standards. He also has accidentally produced Fire Whisky, which gains a lot of trade from the Wizards.\
Prometheus Forge can not be found on any charts of the Solar System. Due to the combined effects of jokes and misunderstandings, it is not called Prometheus Forge on the charts. Its named a lot of other things, but not that. This is although everybody knows its name. Added to this is the fact it is well off the beaten track and A.C. doesnt get any unexpected visitors. People just keep their charts the same. As such, when they want to get away from it all, they head to the Forge.\
As Operation: Great Justice swings into its second year, A.C. has opened the Forge for secure treatment for most of the BNFs. Thus she's doing a lot more cyber-surgery and custom biomodding as well as looking after the few fen who need a secure area to recuperate. Also, the Forge has started production of various security products (mainly for the Space Patrol). Because of this, Prometheus Forge is now publically (and heavily) armed.\

===== SS White Stallion =====
//Created by: Cobalt Greywalker//
===== Known Vehicle Quirks =====
* //Something's not quite right...:// Unless acclimatised, or knowing about its history, passengers feel that there's something disturbing about the ship.
* //In the spotlight:// Ships lighting is either all on, or every person on board has a personal spotlight shining down on them. That can make things rather spooky in the Night shift.
* //"Tonight, I am going to be...The Pegasus!":// For reasons no-one can explain, the transponder randomly changes to be almost, but not quite, the same as an other ships'. The thing's been ripped out and replaced numerous times (with Hardtech, 'wavetech, and bastardised mushytech. All at once even) and essentially the Captain has been reduced to sending out emails to update the code listings. As an unexpected side effect, the White Stallion has become one of the backup master ship registration databases.
* //I can see your house from here:// The Stallion is fitted with a remarkably powerful sensor system, capable of detecting everything within 15 light-minutes. As a rule however it is normally limited to 1 light-minute.
===== Known Crew Quirks =====
* //I know they are around here...:// Passengers tend not to see the crew much when underway, and usually only see the Captain and her co-pilot.
* Global Unity:// The crew is surprisingly multi-cultural. The captain has a German accent, Misty's is French Canadian, James' is South African, Lisa's is Brazilian, and Jade's is Japanese.
* //Well gee guys, I don't have a Heart Of Gold. Will this cannon do?:// Under normal operations Eddie is a nice, talkative guy. In crisis situations however he becomes frighteningly focused, and can (and does) become a pure military machine.
===== Trivia =====
* //Why can't I get one of those?:// No one knows who built it, but it is suspected that a fen with naval connections was involved. Further modification by Eddie has turned the ship into a fairly decent medium cargo and passenger ship, as well as giving it a fair amount of modular mounting for weapons.
* //Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink:// All the station and dock administrators, and most fen who do serious business with her, know exactly who owns the ship, and are reasonably happy to play along. This is mostly because it keeps things quiet.

===== Tachikoma =====
//Created by: Cobalt Greywalker//
===== Known Vehicle Quirks =====
* //Spiderman is our hero:// Perfectly at home climbing walls, walking on ceilings, swinging around on web-lines, or trundling along roads. Surprisingly, Lebia managed to arrange for them to be certified as road-legal.
* //Humm? Let me save this:// Will not operate unless a portable game system is included in the cockpit of the Tachikoma.
* //I'll have the special:// The Tachikomas' are addicted to Andy's special oil blend.
===== Known Crew Quirks =====
* //"What'cha doing Mr Batou?":// The Tachikomas' have childlike inquisitiveness, and frequently ask questions about things going on in the Forge. This is exacerbated by the fact they can take over the drones wondering around, and this has imprinted a similar sort of semi-sentience in them.
* //"Hello Mr Anderson.":// The Tachikoma's also act as assisting agents to their assigned partner when net-diving.
* //"Yes Major!":// While they occasionally slip and call Lebia 'Mother', they never refer to A.C. as anything other than 'Major'.
===== Trivia =====
The Tachikoma's have several Net Friends on Earth, including someone suspiciously like Masamune Shirow.
===== History =====
The Tachikomas are a development of the 'Crab' drones used for basic heavy lifting work, based on failed and non-functional prototypes. Essentially, Lebia wanted to try out various A.I. creation techniques before she started work on the Ducks. She also figured that the failed 'Crab' prototypes held a good amount of potential.\
While publicly revealed in early June 2013, it wasn't until August 2013 that they were subjected to the Eccleston set of Turing tests and allowed semi-independent operation.\
While A.C. doesn't like it, Lebia has started limited production of Tachikomas and Hive nodes (servers for synchronising their memories), and as such big and important stations may have a triad or two as Security along with Clay Pigeons.\
