Jupiter is a forge-world, and as with all forge-worlds, a vast manufacturing center. It is the base of the orbital Jovian shipyards. The docks and workshops circle the planet like a ring of moons, home to the millions of technomat and drone Servitors that work under the supervision of Artisan and Rune Priest Tech-priests to build the Imperium's warships. Each ship is a vast undertaking, taking generations. Many of those working on it will live and die during its construction, never seeing the magnificent warship they proudly struggled so hard to create.
Each of the Imperium's ship designs is associated with a single shipyard: the Emperor, Tyrant and Dominator are typical of the spaceships produced at the Jovian shipyards.
