Chthonios (Mineral) Sentinel (ship)

The Chthonios miner boasts impressive speed. The economics of running a large production empire require the optimisation of miners' speed versus cargo space. With sufficient speed, a constant stream of smaller deliveries of resources can keep mega-factories running more efficiently than if they are left waiting for larger shipments.

The Chthonios is tailored for just this style of "just-in-time" logistics management, and is available in models able to collect gases or minerals. The Sentinel variant enhances structural robustness in case miners encounter hostiles.
