Founded in 2628 by former engineer Jeremy Karabulut, the Karabulut Garment Manufactory (KGM) was the first large-scale textile plant on VOI 700 D. Transitioning ExoHumans from repurposed Last Frontier suits to bespoke frontier wear, KGM’s durable fabrics and frontier-styled garments became ubiquitous across the Beta Age settlements. Its rapid growth—fueled by five Hekana (“Alien Cotton”) farms in Hope Region — sparked both economic boom and native land disputes. Nationalized in 2632 under the Federal Confederation, KGM was replaced by the Federal Garment Manufactory (FGM) in the Gamma Age.

• Construction Material: Reinforced cargo-crate steel frames, weave-textured mycelium insulation, and salvaged shuttle-canopy skylights
• Floors: High-ceiling production hall + mezzanine offices and sampling gallery
• Façade: Corrugated alloy siding punctuated by broad service bays and loom-vent grilles, with a battered holo-sign bearing the KGM emblem

The plant’s utilitarian design prioritized large-scale looms and dye vats, reflecting both the urgency of frontier needs and the improvisational spirit of early industrialization.

Ground Floor – Production Hall

• Weave Floor: Rows of QFB-powered textile looms spinning Hekana fibers into yardage
• Dye Vats: Five climate-controlled vats for color treatments, each with integrated waste-water separators
• Cut & Sew Lines: Conveyor-belt tables where tailors stitch reinforced workwear
• Quality Control Station: Raised platform for inspectors to sample and test fabric tensile strength
• Restroom (2): Two unisex composting stalls with AuroraSan fixtures

Mezzanine – Offices & Gallery

• Manager’s Office: Simple desk and a view over the production hall
• Design Studio: Wall-mounted swatches, sketch tables, and holo-projector for pattern reviews
• Sampling Gallery: Display racks of finished garments and prototype uniforms
• Archive Nook: Shelves of original Last Frontier suit fragments and early Hekana prototypes
• Restroom (1): Single-stall for staff, featuring the Aurorasan System.

Exterior Grounds

• Loading Dock: Three service bays where Hoo-drawn wagons and bots deliver raw Hekana bales and load finished crates
• Dye Waste Ponds: Secured trenches lined with native stone for settling dye byproducts
• Overhang Canopy: Corrugated metal awning shielding outdoor work tables

The air inside hums with loom-motor whine and the sweet tang of fresh-dyed fiber. Threads of vibrant blues and earthen browns hang in drying racks, while tailors in patched smocks work under harsh galvanic lighting. Dust motes swirl across grated walkways, and steam hiss-vents punctuate the cavernous space.

Legal Interactions

• Submit a job application to the Manager’s Office and audition for tailor or textile-worker roles
• Work a shift alongside tailors and weavers to learn frontier garment-making techniques
• Place a Uniform Order: Commission standardized workwear for a mining or logging expedition

Illegal Interactions

• Smuggle contraband goods hidden in empty Hekana bales
• Sabotage dye vats to discredit Karabulut’s monopoly
• Forge production logs to misroute a valuable prototype out of the plant

• “Midnight Heist” – PCs hired to steal a bolt of prototype thermal fabric; must evade Guarding Bot patrols and scale loom catwalks.
• “Factory Fire” – sets the dye vats ablaze; PCs race to contain the blaze and salvage vital production records.
