Wood refinery

Yavian wood refineries (also Twig Snappers in Yavian slang) were devices built on the planet Yavia by Yavian warlords. Their role was to create useful building parts from wood pulp and small amounts of other materials.

Function
Wood refineries crushed wood into a very fine pulp and pumped it into specially shaped molds. The pulp was then mixed with chemical setting agents, crushed and heated, and then used in construction. Large amounts of wood pulp went into the construction of dense 2 meter long, sharp stakes which were often fired at enemy bases as Twig missiles.

Importance
Wood refineries were vital to any warlord base since refined wood was a major construction material, often playing just as great a role as metal.
