Lore
The Smelter-class eliminates the most expensive part of the mining
supply chain: hauling raw ore back to a station for processing. Onboard
smelting furnaces, chemical separators, and automated quality assurance
systems convert raw materials into market-ready commodities in the
field. The Federation calculates that a Smelter increases mining fleet
profitability by 60% by cutting transport costs and time-to-market.
