The Davo-Hamish shipyards were a series of orbital drydocks and shipyards that were commissioned and used by the Systems Alliance Navy for the repairs, construction, commissioning and decommissioning of its vessels that was located in orbit over Earth. Built not long after 2153 CE, the shipyards saw the birth of the early Alliance navy, and its later technological developments that occurred following the First Contact War. The shipyards were the birthplace of many advanced Alliance warships, including the Kilimanjaro-class dreadnoughts and Normandy-class stealth frigates. The shipyards were located in geosynchronous orbit over the Horn of Africa.

When the Reapers overran Earth's defenses in the opening stages of the Fall of Earth, they quickly swarmed and obliterated the shipyards, decimating their facilities and destroying dozens of ships that were still under construction. With its destruction, the Alliance lost its primary ability to replenish its naval forces, a capability it wouldn't be able to restore until after the Reaper War, with the establishment of Jafer-Nocsky Shipbuilders, the successor of the Davo-Hamish shipyards.
