A '''mining ship''' is a ship designed to extract raw metals and minerals. There are several<ref>Based on dialog in the opening of "[[Home, Part I]]," there is certainly more than one. Later in that episode, another can clearly be seen to have remained with ''Galactica'' while ''Monarch'' is in orbit of {{RDM|Kobol}}. According to SciFi.com, at least one of these is a [[Tauron|Tauron]]-registered craft.</ref> in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]], including the ''[[Monarch]]'' and ''[[Majahual]]'', which serve a vital role in mining [[tylium (RDM)|tylium]] and other ores.
The '''''Monarch'' type''' mining ships are part of the [[Colonial Auxiliary Fleet]], working in tandem with [[Refinery ship]]s to provide Battlestar Groups at sea with fresh fuel ([[Blood and Chrome]]).


Mining ships are very hot, dirty, cramped vessels that are not suitable as a refuge for passengers.
These ships are able to directly land on the surface of a moon or asteroid for mining operations, with the mining equipment located in the numerous saucers that compose the hull. After the raw materials are collected, they are transferred to a refinery ship for refining and distribution to the fleet.


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.
Over 40 years later, this type is still utilized by the Colonial Fleet, where several, including ''[[Monarch]]'', and ''[[Majahual]]'', escape with ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' following the destruction of the Colonies ("[[Miniseries]]").
