Pass-Forge Forge-Berth
Overview
Pass-Forge Forge-Berth is a Karthunai forge outpost on Threnn's frost flats in the Pass-Forge system. Licensed ore and plate freight land on an E-class apron; melt halls and hammer bays sit in the lee of a ridge. An elected foreman audits the books. Karthunai honor-law treats a lie about metal as grounds for embargo.

- scale
- frost-flats forge-outpost — cargo apron, writ/intake desk, ore-intake and melt halls, hammer bays and servo test rigs, foreman's office, belt-crew barracks
- tone
- Cold honest hammer-and-audit discipline — the best armor in the arm made on the worst rock, with one forged writ hiding under the frost
- senses
- Paint-stripping wind, spark-curtain glare, Karthun-threk work songs, the ten-thousand-cycle whine of a servo test rig, hot iron and colder air, melt-hall glow against a season-long night
- occupantSummary
- Karthunai plate-smiths, belt crews and families; an elected foreman; a veteran forge-master; a too-helpful berth fixer working the counterfeit ring
- hazards
- A frost night that kills the careless; a forged writ that puts the crew's name on a counterfeit-plate run; a cornered fixer; Karthunai embargo if the crew is caught in a lie about metal
- connections
- Concord gate one hop to Karth (then Lacera, Alpha Centauri, Sol, Khesret); anonymous belt lanes; short hauls to the ore belts
- travelNote
- Land on the frost-flats apron; licensed forge freight uses the main intake; the quiet side dock is where crates get re-signed away from the foreman's audit
- factionTies
- Karthunai Republic outpost foreman + smith guilds run the forge; a counterfeit-plate ring parasitizes the honest writ; Concord holds the gate; Karth export law reaches down the lane
