Welcome to The Dockyards
The Dockyards is a special place created as a haven for criminals, by criminals. A huge offshore platform, The Dockyards have grown over the years to become nearly entirely self-sufficient. It has it’s own hydroponics for growing food and drugs, it’s own foundry, shipwrights, hospital, market, bank, research facilities and a secure residential area for the employees, among other things.
The Dockyards serves as a central hub for trade in all things illegal and legal, natural and unnatural, good and evil. The criminals that set up the place take little interest in what goes through the place, as long as they get their cut.
No one knows exactly who the benefactors of The Dockyards are. Rumour has it that it was contracted out to various companies using a kind of blind donation system where several organisations and people donated money and resources without knowing who the others were or how exactly they were involved. The only person who knows whose share is whose is the Accountant, a specialist computer program of unknown design or origin that manages the The Dockyards Bank.
