Imperial construction yard

The Imperial Construction yard was the nucleus of every Rising Sun military base.

Background
Unlike the construction yard of other factions, the Imperial construction yard does not construct buildings directly other than fortress walls. Instead, it assembles mobile Nanocores, which can deploy anywhere on the battlefield.

The Empire’s buildings still possess a build radius, though this is normally only relevant for the construction of walls.

The Nanocores can be assembled incredibly quickly - usually in under five seconds if the base is fully powered - and being able to build anywhere has obvious advantages. However, this has the potential to drain funds very quickly, especially when building cores for the more expensive buildings such as refineries. One other drawback is that construction of Docks requires shore access, since the nanocore must be able to enter the water to unpack.

Game structure
The Imperial construction yard can build nanocores for the following structures:
 * Instant generator
 * Ore refinery
 * Instant dojo
 * Mecha bay
 * Imperial docks
 * Nanotech mainframe
 * Defender VX
 * Wave-Force tower (requires Nanotech mainframe)
 * Psionic decimator (requires Nanotech mainframe)
 * Nanoswarm Hive (requires Nanotech mainframe)

 * Red Alert 3 patch 1.11:
