This type of prospecting ship can be seen across the Thousand Suns searching for new resources and mining small asteroids and comets. It is a tug style design capable of moving up to 40 tons either by pushing it or by means of externally slung loads. Small craft are also sometimes carried, for use as utility vehicles, although this varies from ship to ship.
A substantial number of vessels of this type have been externally modified to haul standard shipping containers.
Note: The ship has a base Hull value of 60 for damage purposes; any externally mounted cargo adds additional points.
