A mining ship is a ship designed to extract raw metals and minerals. There are several[2] in the Fleet, including the Monarch and Majahual, which serve a vital role in mining tylium and other ores.
Mining ships are very hot, dirty, cramped vessels that are not suitable as a refuge for passengers.
Mining ships have a very limited refining ability. Because of this, mining ships work in concert with a refinery ship, which handles the bulk of the mineral processing.
