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 [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]]. According to SciFi.com, at least one of these is a [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Tauron|Tauron]]-registered craft.</ref> in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]], including the ''[[Monarch]]'' and ''[[Majahual]]'', which serve a vital role in mining [[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]]").

Additional Information


The Monarch type mining ships are part of the Colonial Auxiliary Fleet, working in tandem with Refinery ships to provide Battlestar Groups at sea with fresh fuel (Blood and Chrome).

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.

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