As well as the problems with finding skilled workers to restart spaceship production, another big problem the Clones have had is that dozens of companies who made parts and components for the shipyards ranging from engine cores to carpet tiles either went out of business or diversified away into other industries when the orders from the shipyards dried up. Some of these companies have managed to restart production but replacements have had to be found for many vital parts.
Because of this the new build Shark frigates currently under construction on the only active shipyard jig had had to be changed with different system components. They are to be known as the Shark SKC model. Although the first new ship is due to begin testing soon it will be lacking a number of systems which will be retrofitted at a later date.
