How do!

Am I just having a weak memory and indeed Google day, or have we never really seen drawings/art showing an Imperial Shipyard?

Not a space station as such. But a major ship building/repair yard?

Forgeworld has done Port Maw (at least as it was in 30K). The BFG rulebook also has a scratch built model of a space station with docked ship.
A Ramillies Star Fort also has some ship repairing/restocking abilities.

Well in Battlefleet Gothic 1 & 2 the PC game there are several backgrounds and cutscene images that depict various pieces of orbital infrastructure, some of which are shipyards.

I haven't grabbed any screenshots, but maybe someone has?

Best I can find is this:

This is a Ramilies class star-fort, but the idea is the same. They often repair and rearm vessels here.

Imperial shipyards would be as variable as forgeworlds, as these are often where ships are made, so orbital stations around forgeworlds would be the images

The Ring of Iron around Mars is perhaps the most famous one.

Which point blank refuses to load on to the forum. Google Ring of Iron 40k I guess

EDIT: fixed that eventually.

**aphyon**

If you look at the cover art on the main rule book, you may not notice it at first, but it is supposed to be an imperial station/shipyard of some sort.

**FezzikDaBullgryn**

Isn't the IF cruising battle station fortress thing basically a weaponized Shipyard? Same with the one used by the Minotaurs.

**Gert**

The Phalanx is a mobile space station, it has berths for the construction and repairing of ships but its primary use is as a defence platform. The Minotaurs ship is just a Carrier which are rare in the Imperium which prefers Battleships.
