Vulcan Arms Industrial Park

The Vulcan Arms Industrial Park was established by Phoenix Mercantile among the remains of some Terran Hegemony facilities soon after they established relations within the local system, over a century before the establishment of Nejiro. It started as a trade station and a place to process raw materials and agricultural products traded from the locals and slowly developed into military manufacturing and research and development labs in the interim years. Currently Vulcan Arms Industrial Park is the equivalent of four closed secure industrial parks bordered against each other plus the original facilities, all chartered by the Saganami Dai Ichizoku and Parliament. Vulcan Arms is one of the more secure locations on planet. It holds factories, workshops, and warehouses for the production, distribution, customization, maintenance, repair, and upgrade of military weapons, vehicles, gear, equipment, and supplies. It is also home to military research and development labs for the Military Ministry, the Defense Ministry, the Public Safety Ministry, and several Nejiroan defense contractors, including the primary laboratory of the Advanced Research Projects Agency. Vulcan Arms is located  a few hundred kilometers north of Majuro on the eastern coast of Shinrin, on a tropical savanna near kilometers of pink sand beaches and the deeply violet waters of the Akai Umi. It has its own naval port and yard, commercial port, rail station, and air station. The 53431 residents have a half dozen guard gated communities with shops, marinas and yacht clubs, entertainment and cultural venues, parks and greenspaces, shrines and temples, restaurants and pubs, a light rail public transport system, as well as a central Town Hall and elected Mayor (currently Kamila Kawabe). Both the Saganami Household Guard and Saganami Security keep permanent contingents here, as well as the NPO, the NPO Sea Patrol, the Nejiro Fire Brigade, the Nejiro Defense Troop, and a few Nejiroan PMC security contingents.
