Lore
The Pithead is the only T4 mining platform with speed 2 — the
overclocked engines are technically out of spec, but they work, and
the Rim doesn't believe in specs anyway. Eighteen hundred cargo capacity
means it strips belts bare before slower competitors finish their
first load. At 85,000 credits, it's the cheapest T4 miner available
because the Rim builds ships from whatever's available rather than
whatever's optimal. The single weapon mount exists because frontier
mining operations attract attention, and the Rim's response to
attention is always armed.
