- "Miners are rated below Builders, but they are sensible, proud and strong. Miners know the raw, inner ways of worlds. Respect them, and they will treat you well, teach you what they know, and return you to your family with all the discipline and skills a Manipular needs to advance."
- — Bornstellar's ancilla[1]
Miners were the second-highest rate in Forerunner society, ranking below Builders but above Lifeworkers.[2] They were responsible for obtaining resources for the ecumene, including the Builder's plentiful construction projects. To excavate minerals and ore, Miners used mining ships which could rapidly excavate large masses of terrain via powerful energy fields.[3] Miners were also responsible for stellar and planetary engineering, including the formation of planets from asteroid fields or manipulating stars for energy collection. Miner stellar engineers were colloquially known as plasma jockeys.[4]
After disobeying his father, Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting, a Manipular from a Builder family, was sent to work with the Miners on Edom.[5][1]
