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 are very hot, dirty, cramped vessels that are not suitable as a refuge for passengers.


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]]").
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.

Additional Information


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.

  2. 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 Kobol. According to SciFi.com, at least one of these is a Tauron-registered craft.
