FIST, the Facility for Imperial Ships and Transports is a group of stations orbiting Trien, the nearest planet to the capitol of the empire, Tarth.
Ships are modular in construction to save time when being built and during repairs. In wartime, a damaged section of a ship can be jettisoned. The large ship in the background is a Destroyer. Three of these accompany Her Majesty's flagship, the Imperial Armada Ship (IAS) Usurper.
In the foreground, a carrier is near completion. As an indication of relative size of the two ships, a carrier holds twenty squadrons of fifteen to twenty fighters each, plus ship's company, and all support staff for the squadrons. The total crew complement is nearly six thousand people.
Note there is another station visible in the deep background on the other side of Trien and its moons. Many stations make up the FIST.
