Lore
The Rapid Smelter is the Rim's answer to refinery ships: fast, cheap,
and good enough. The smelting systems process basic ores into refined
materials at twice the speed of Solarian precision refineries, at half
the quality. The Rim considers this an acceptable trade-off — volume
beats quality when you're supplying frontier operations that need
materials yesterday. Speed 2 makes it mobile enough to follow mining
operations rather than waiting at a fixed location. The entire smelting
assembly was salvaged from three different decommissioned stations and
welded into a hull that the original engineers would not recognize.
