PEAKE MANUFACTURING & SHIPWRIGHT
200 years ago, early colonists arrived in the Calypso system. Most of them set up terraforming on the most suitable life-sustaining planets.
A small number of enterprising sentients figured out how to tap power from the Dyson Swarm surrounding Heartstar. These pioneers built in gravity generators, and constructed homes and businesses.
The Peake extended family built out ship component manufacturing, shipwright/assembly, and residential living quarters in an isolated part of the Heartstar Dyson Swarm.
Oiringally, Peakewrights primiarly built and repaired ships for smugglers and pirates. Over the past fifty years, they have moved into largely legitimate business - building ships and ship parts for shipping companies and matierially wealthy individuals. And, the Peake extended family has maintained certain black and grey market relationships. It helps them keep pirates and theives from attacking them.
The Dyson Swarm surrounding Heartstar absorbs vast majority of the star's heat, and the majority of its light.
