A standard damage control alcove used by the Yugumo Fleetworks that was first produced in YE 44. It was updated in YE 45. They replaced the lockers. Alcove sizes and their inventory vary by ship or base design.

In YE 45, Yugumo Fleetworks sought to replace the temporary Yugumo Standard Damage Control Alcoves in their designs with a more updated version with more comprehensive tools. The Alcoves would feature their own products as well as those from corporations they had agreements with such as Ryu Keiretsu and Shimizu Zaibatsu.

A terminal in the alcove with access to the ship or facility's KAIMON with the intended purpose of assisting those who do not have a functional KAIMON/Ascendant Companion in locating damaged areas of the ship and assessing the materials and tools required for the repair of those sections. On most Yugumo Corporation vessels this terminal is considered a backup due to the requirement for all personnel to have a KAIMON/Ascendant Companion.

Functions performed by KAIMON/Ascendant Companion in damage control scenarios:

• To coordinate with the vessel or facility's KAIMON to relay information to damage control teams.
• To utilize onboard systems, lights and tools or position materials in out-of-reach and hazardous areas of the ship.
• To provide corporate officials with real-time updates as repairs are completed.
• To project volumetric blueprints in damaged areas to serve as guides for damage control teams.
• To interact with tools and equipment with KAIMON-Aperture chips.

Quantities vary depending on the size and scope of the vessels and facilities where alcoves are located:

Gear

• RHI Type 43 "Megumi" Environmental Skinsuit
• OrchidGear Gravity Boots
• OrchidGear Toolbags

Tools and Equipment

• Shaklite Portable Worklamp
• Starshield Programmable Matter Multitool¹⁾
• Starshield Nanofabric Hull Patches
• Starshield Gel²⁾
• Starshield Multipurpose Plasma Tool
• Starshield Graviton Clamp Anchors
• Portable Kaminari Quantum Foam Generators
• Built-in chargers for capacitor systems.

Firefighting Equipment

• Starshield Nanoflare Barrier
• Starshield AstralBlaze Foam³⁾
• Built in Water tanks with high pressure hoses.

The damage control alcoves also have their own fabrication printers. They utilize Nanorobotics specialized in construction and fabrication which are fed materials from the ship's Matter Collection System which are used to assemble the various additional tools and materials required for the repair of damaged systems. It is generally wired into the ship's power system but can be powered by a portable generator during emergency situations.

It includes storage for the things it fabricates such as:

• standardized fittings and pipes
• screws, rivets, and other accessories
• custom tools
• labels and decals
