'''Mining ships''' were vessels used by [[Forerunner]] [[Miner]]s.<ref name="Cryptum">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 51''</ref> | '''Mining ships''' were vessels used by [[Forerunner]] [[Miner]]s. They were used to excavate and carry ore and minerals using an array of grappler, lifters, cutters, and churners on their undersides. When conducting mining operations, these ships were capable of pulverizing large areas of a planet's surface into a whirlwind-like field from which the desired constituent minerals could be filtered and taken into the ship. They also possessed equipment that allowed them to thoroughly scan areas for useful minerals.<ref name="Cryptum">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 51''</ref> | ||
== | ==Appearance== | ||
The mining ships were noted by [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]] to be aesthetically displeasing to the extreme,<ref name="Cryptum"/> marking an unusual contrast with the pristine nature of other Forerunner architecture. | |||
==Use== | |||
At least one mining ship was deployed to [[Earth]] in approximately [[100,300 BCE]] by Bornstellar's surrogate family in an attempt to find him.<ref name="Cryptum"/> However, the search was soon abandoned either due to the [[baffler]]s surrounding [[Djamonkin Crater]] or to the area's sacred nature.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 52''</ref> | |||
