Most Royal Naval Service vessels are built in one of the major shipyards in the Ikeopo System. Capital Ships are constructed at the Interstellar Transport System's Morrigan Fleetyards in high orbit above Sivad's sole moon. Though modular construction techniques mean that there is seldom an actual "keel" to "lay", a ceremony is generally carried out when the first major structural member is put down. A dignitary, such as a member of the Council of Equals or Royal Family, will give a brief speech, and then mark the keel by affixing a name plaque or his or her initials. The workmen then move the keel into position and announce that "the keel has been truly and fairly laid." The keel laying ceremony is run by the shipyard, with almost no naval involvement.
