+Due to the unfortunate reality of the chelti frontier, hardly any ship can be spared to sit around in a drydock if it has a functional superluminal system, therefore a substantial portion of military produced ship-making capcity is taken up with dual-purpose starships. Sub-optimal for wartime usage, but capable enough to not be a burden on the fleet. Many of these ships fill niche roles within the chelti void fleets, and are able to be disguised between their War and Peacetime configurations, confusingly local SIGINT and often trapping unaware foes.
+Examples such as the heavily armed [[/spacecraft/chelti/merchantman|Merchantman]] are a common sight throughout chelti shipyards, military or otherwise.
+=== Ship Building And Design ===
+Chelti ships are often built in a hurry, with adaptability in mind. As soon as a ship is built it is expected that it will, sooner or later, be destroyed, and so the materials to replace it are already gathered as soon as it is launched. While expensive, this has left chelti fleets with vast stocks of raw materials to build whatever ships are needed, giving them excellent force retention even after heavy losses.
+Ship designs themselves are often purpose built, even the Auxiliary ships often have their cargo spaces earmarked for some combat use or another.
+=== Fleet Logistics ===
+The vast distances of chelti space and the hazards within make sending warships back to home space to repair and rearm often infeasible at the best of times. Foreign views of chelti designs are often depicted as making as much of the ship as possible able to be repaired by good use of a hammer, sometimes large ones. While an effort to make much of their ships repairable with basic tools, not even chelti can keep ships running solely on percussion maintenance and hammer swings.
+While chelti warships have no large production facilities themselves, they often have small workshops, and in larger ships machine rooms, the make scale replacements or repairs on components.
