The inside of the shipyard contains cranes and other construction equipment. Working emergency lights can still be found throughout the vessel, despite loss of power to other essential functions.{{book ref|sky1|26}} A [[delver_maze|delver training facility]] has been added to the vessel and may make up large portions of the ship, and be accessible from the manufacturing floors.{{book ref|sky1|25}}{{book ref|sky2|23}} It shares similar aspects to delver maze tunnels, such as design and structure,{{book ref|sky2|23}} as well as a writing system made up of circular patterns that is unknown to the [[Defiant League|Defiant]] people.{{book ref|sky1|26}}{{book ref|sky2|23}} Similar writings can also be found near the old machinery in the outer [[United_Defiant_Caverns|Defiant Caverns]].{{book ref|sky1|26}}
The bottom of the shipyard is coated in hundreds of [[starfighter#Acclivity_ring|acclivity rings]] that keep it afloat. These rings begin running out of power in 83{{Detritus date|63}} causing the shipyard to fall from the atmosphere as it could no longer correct its orbit. The loss of power in the acclivity rings is gradual, allowing the shipyard to fall at a steady pace instead of hurtling straight towards the ground.{{book ref|sky1|25}}
