==Summary==
==Appearance==
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 name="Cryptum"/> marking an unusual contrast with the pristine nature of other Forerunner architecture. However, it is possible that the Miners, being the lowest [[Forerunner caste system|caste]] in Forerunner society, were not afforded the same resources to build their ships as the other castes.

==Use==
 
At least one mining ship was deployed to [[Earth]] in approximately [[100,300 B.C.E.]] by Bornstellar's surrogate family in an attempt to find him. However, the search was soon abandoned either due to the [[baffler]]s surrounding [[Djamonkin Crater]] or to the area's sacred nature.<ref name="Cryptum"/>
