| The '''''Springhill''-class mining ship''' ([[hull classification symbol]]: '''CFM'''){{Ref/Reuse|adrift}} is a type of [[human]] [[civilian]] starship, predominantly used for mining and transporting resources between worlds.{{Ref/Book|Id=evg208|H4EVG|Page=208}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=132}} Select vessels of the class are utilised by military forces like the [[United Nations Space Command]] and refit as wartime ordnance transports; these ships may be referred to instead as '''''Springhill''-class transports''', {{Ref/Book|H4EVG|Page=231}} though it is unclear whether this is simply an alternate nomenclature or a deliberate subclassification of ship.

| |
| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Design details===
| |
| The ''Springhill''-class of vessel has an overall broadly flat structure, with two rows of seven cylindrical pods lining the central axis of the ship. The aft has a large [[bridge]] tower which rises up and over the vessel, with a domineering view of the dorsal surface. The vessel has four [[fusion drive]]s mounted on the aft of the vessel; two primary and two secondary.{{Ref/Map|Id=adrift|H4|Adrift}}
| |
|
| |
|
| On select vessels of the class chosen by the UNSC for refit as ordnance transport ships, two towering docking rigs are installed with one on both the port and starboard sides.{{Ref/Reuse|evg208}} The docking rigs are large enough to house a [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (D) Geyrion]] in a UNSC retrofit of the class.{{Ref/Reuse|adrift}}

| ==Service history==
| |
| ''Springhill''s are an older classification of vessel, and retain a strong presence across [[Human colonies|human space]] even despite the emergence of newer and more vessels such as the {{Class|Aestuum|mining ship|}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} They are operated by various mining corporations{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} alongside the [[Colonial Administration Authority]] (CAA); these display a CAA ship prefix.{{Ref/Reuse|evg208}}
| |
| | |
| During the [[Human-Covenant War]], ''Springhill''s were commandeered by the UNSC and retrofit as ordnance transport ships. One such example, {{CAAShip|Heavy Burden}}, would retain its CAA prefix even despite its conversion to a wartime logistics ship. The ''Springhill''-class mining ships saw extensive use during the early Human-Covenant War, though the ''Heavy Burden'' served until the [[Battle of Kholo]] in [[2539]]. The ship was later the subject of a [[War Games]] map simulation.{{Ref/Reuse|evg208}}
