In terms of actual manufacturing, Asteria houses one of the worlds largest wharfs - albeit not a ship wharf. ASPIS operates the Avalon Wharfs Inc. in Romenna which manufactures and pre-assembles immense units for chemical plants, including reactors, heat exchangers, and furnaces all the way up to entire plant units which are then shipped to their destination. Pelargir is home to Hyperion's largest wharf operated by Pyreion. ASPIS operates several small offshore oil and natural rigs in the Sea of Canete, the Founder's Sea, the Sea of Istroya, and the Omnium Ocean, but is otherwise more involved on an international level. It also operates a large oil refinery just outside of Lycia. With the capacity to refine just slightly over 2 million barrels of oil per day, it supplies large parts of the region with oil and gas products while fueling the one of the world's largest chemical parks that produce everything from fertilizer over bulk base chemicals to high grade polymers in Asteria. Another, slightly smaller complex is to the north of Armenelaos and one on the coast north of Treomar. | |||
The Consortium is co-founder and permanent member of the Asterian Internal-Market (AIM). Its predecessor was originally established in 1912 as means to more easily facilitate commerce between the then still mostly independent states that form the consortium today. It has since, up until 2030, been developed into a free-trade zone between primary and secondary Consortium members as well as third parties in part due to the Consortium's national economies' growing requirement to globalize production chains due to a lack of production capacities in Asteria. As of the recent announcement that a nationwide shift to Industry 4.0 will be completed in the foreseeable future, the Consortium has picked up on developing AIM into an international economic zone of the future. | The Consortium is co-founder and permanent member of the Asterian Internal-Market (AIM).
