| ==Summary==
| |
| Mining ships were used to excavate and carry ore and minerals using an array of [[grappler]]s, 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/Reuse|Cryptum}}

| | |
| The mining ships were noted by [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]] to be aesthetically displeasing to the extreme,{{Ref/Reuse|Cryptum}} marking an unusual contrast with the pristine nature of other Forerunner architecture.

| ==Service history==
| |
| A mining ship was deployed to [[Earth]] during the final years of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]] by Bornstellar's surrogate family of Miners in an attempt to find him.{{Ref/Reuse|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>
