Overview[]

The Mineral ship was a vessel used to mine raw metals from planets without the need to establish a permanent operation. These ships were used by various colonial corporations and the military in some cases.

According to the Galactica Technical Manual, the ship carried a standard crew of 150 and 200 passengers. Cargo Capacity was 75,000 Metric Tons.[1]

Use in the fleet[]

During the trip to earth, at least a few of these vessels were used to mine planets that were encountered on the way. In the fleet, these ships were first deployed to Carillon, a material rich planet on the edge of the colonial star system. These ships would be used many times in order to create tools and equipment for various roles.

Notes[]

  1. The Galactica Technical Manual entry on TECR states the ship has 3 Turbo lasers
