The first steel factory, employed a few hundred naturalized Arcers, Ardmori immigrants, and indigenous labourers began its operations in refinement of raw iron ore into finished, flat rolled steel, the first finished pieces being shipped via the [[Arco National Railway Service|Arcer National Railway Service]] (ARNS) to Chester-on-Moore in 1851. Marsden ensured that wharf and dockyard facilities were bought, and worked on building and establishing a relationship with merchant mariners from [[Burgundie]] to ship the steel abroad, seeing as the Arcer shipbuilding industry had yet to create any large commercial freighters, instead focusing on inland expansion and railways, as the Ardmori government and Crown was contributing the majority of the ships and naval commerce to their Cronan colony. | The first steel factory, employed a few hundred naturalized Arcers, Ardmori immigrants, and indigenous labourers began its operations in refinement of raw iron ore into finished, flat rolled steel, the first finished pieces being shipped via the predecessor to [[Arco National Railway Service|Arcer National Railway Service]] (ARNS), [[Easthampton Railways]], to Chester-on-Moore in 1851.

Marsden, then Chairman of the Board of Directors, assigned Billsworth to travel to Chester-on-Moore, then well on track becoming the largest commercial sea port in Arcerion, to establish a subsidiary of Arco Steel, to store and ship the final finished products to their growing customer base in Levantia. The cheaper and high quality Arcer steel was increasingly becoming a more attractive option than domestically produced steel, as the imports could leverage Arcerion's relatively small and growing economy versus the tighter margins of contemporary Levantine counterparts. This was concurrent in Sarpedon, where Arco Steel was becoming a consistent choice for the use of constructing new industrial facilities due to its low buying cost. An 1859 agreement between the ARNS and Arco Steel established the Chester Steel Station, a major railhead and loading/offloading facility for Arcer steel in Chester-on-Moore, and created a satellite facility in Port Hughes to the Southwest to accommodate for a growing surplus of steel produced. | Marsden, then Chairman of the Board of Directors, assigned Billsworth to travel to Chester-on-Moore, then well on track becoming the largest commercial sea port in Arcerion, to establish a subsidiary of Arco Steel, to store and ship the final finished products to their growing customer base in Levantia.
