The Miners were responsible for the artificial formation or destruction of planets and the manipulation of stars, usually to harness them for energy collection.

The Miners were masterful engineers and scientists, and competition was fierce among the rates to recruit their expertise for prestigious construction projects and research efforts. Their collaborations with the Builders were particularly fruitful and inspired, with both rates drawing upon each other's strengths and insights to create miracles of matter and energy. Among these collaborations were efforts to grow new slipspace cores from flakes extracted from the Precursor core at Maethrillian, experiments to tap exotic natal dimensions to mass-produce stars, and the creation of permanent rifts into slipspace.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | The Miners were masterful engineers and scientists, and competition was fierce among the rates to recruit their expertise for prestigious construction projects and research efforts.

During the height of the Forerunner civilization, Miners had activity in the [[Sol system]], specifically [[Mars]], then known as Edom. After disobeying [[Wise-Hands-to-Forge|his father]], [[IsoDidact|Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]], a [[Manipular]] from a wealthy Builder family, was sent to work with a Miner family inhabiting Edom.<ref name="Cryptum cover">'''Halo: Cryptum''', forward jacket description</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|c15}} | During the height of the Forerunner civilization, Miners had activity in the [[Sol system]], specifically [[Mars]], then known as Edom.
