The Mining Ship is a Tauron-registered ship that was designed to extract raw metals and minerals. In the fleet, it served a vital role in mining tylium ore, which is a highly-efficient fuel for all ships once the mineral is refined.
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 handle the bulk of the mineral processing.
