The Luyten Shipyard Seven (LS7) is a major human shipbuilding corporation. It is based at and above the city of Delray in the small nation of Langara on the planet Luyten's southern hemisphere. Lyuten Shipyard Seven has built private, commercial and military space vessels and equipment for a wide variety of customers, most notably the United Nations Space Command Navy. Unlike most other colonial shipbuilding facilities that are subsidiaries with majority of ownership in megacorporations; LS7 is one of the few defense contractors that is independently owned. However, the company does build several warships under license from other businesses such as SinoViet Heavy Machinery.
