| Asteroid 253 Mathilde is a carbon rich C-type asteroid. Irregular in shape, it is 52 kilometers in diameter, making it approximately four times the size of Gaspra and two times the size of Ida. | Asteroid 253 Mathilde is a carbon rich C-type asteroid.

| New Philadelphia has always been a center of industry. The belter culture has a strong heritage in engineering, and great skill at assembling large structures in microgravity. As a result, the New Philadelphia Shipyard has become the most sophisticated and reputable in known space, exceeding those of [[Luna]] and [[Oceania]]. | New Philadelphia has always been a center of industry.

| | ===== New Philadelphia Shipyard ===== |
| | The shipyard at New Philadelphia spaceport can build and modify ships up to size class 5, including ships that are unable to enter atmosphere or land on any planetary surface. Skilled belter workers, with free-floating access to all parts of the ship, are able to make ship repairs more quickly than at any other shipyard. However… They do not sell weapons or ammunition, nor will they service ships matching known configurations of ships reported missing/stolen, as this is against the colony's policies. |

| | ===== The Port Authority ===== |
| | The Port Authority is the primary law enforcement and self-defense force for New Philadelphia and 253 Mathilde. While functioning under the governance of the belter population, a large contingent of the Port Authority police are comprised of off-world "technical assistance", largely from the [[Space Defense Force]] and [[Annyrion Colonist - Eisshari Coalition]], using smaller gunships and backed up by defensive systems emplaced on the asteroid itself. This agreement allows the largely peace-loving belter population to defend itself and its shipyards from aggressive outsiders (think "pirates"). The Coalition //Shogun-class// space dominance vehicle //Dallenhome// bases its operations from a secure facility in the shipyard. |
