Your Message Regarding Aegis Shipyard Production

 

Ambassador,

 

The exact details as to the design specifications for any ship that may be produced at the shipyard once it is complete are not yet available. With that in mind, please take the following profitable points into consideration:

• The scale of the yard is presently set to be capable of drydock of a humon Starfleet Excelsior-class cruiser. Any ship designed would have to fall into such a category. At present, two docks are slated for construction. There is no goal about out producing anyone, rather creating a new location capable of production and repair in a region that currently doesn't have one.
  
• It is true that the humon Utopia Planetia facility takes a decade to do anything. Rather, they did before the start of the Dominion War when the humon Starfleet realized it wasn't smart to stall for a year simply because one did not like the color selected for the carpet. Other governments have often been able to speed up the process, as has Starfleet in the last decade. The nature of what ships are constructed will become much clearer as time moves forward.
  
• Designs will be funded thru similar channels that allowed for the construction of the Aegis facility itself. The exact details of this arrangement are being worked out by the Aegis Advisory Council and should be available within several months.
  

Finally, I would reexamine my usage of the terms "deadly and profitable" in the context you are implying. Those two terms often defend solely on the intended usage of the craft in question, which is not public.
