The USS Orville, a mid-level exploratory cruiser, is dwarfed by the size of the Union Dockyard.
The Union Dockyard is a Planetary Union space station in orbit around the planet Earth in the early 25th century. The location of the dockyard is not a coincidence, as Earth serves as headquarters to the Union.
Description
The Union Dockyard is an enormous structure, one of the largest yet encountered by the USS Orville capable of housing even many Leviathan-class heavy cruisers. The dockyard has three main wings, each with a Shuttle Bay and two prong-like extensions at which space vessels dock. The center of the dockyard is build like a ring.
History
The construction date of the dockyard is unknown. It is in service at least through the event so of the show, from 2419 through 2420.
Old Wounds
Ed Mercer, now Captain of the Orville, and Gordon Malloy, now its new Helmsman, fly by shuttle to the dockyard to board the Orville.
Trivia
- Based on appearances, the Union Dockyard is the second-largest space structure as yet encountered by the Orville, the first being the Dorahl bioship, which is the size of New York City.
