NOTES:
Allowing industrial,
medicinal, and biological goods to be manufactured under gravity-controlled
conditions, R-1 Artisan Type orbital manufacturing centers can supplement
planetside factories or act as independent concerns. In addition
to enlarged turboesclators which can transfer large amounts of raw,
materials and goods, the Artisan has the following modifications
from the standard R-1 design.
