Mobile extractor: Automated
mining and refinery equipment has been built into the ship, allowing it
to extract resources from asteroids and planetary surfaces. Careful
extraction of specific lodes of valuable minerals can be quite
profitable at the GM’s discretion, but if the crew is simply melting
down available asteroids for raw materials, the unit can refine one ton
of usable materials per day worth about 500 credits in most markets.
These raw materials can be used to feed a mobile factory, and a ship may
have more than one mobile extractor fitted to it to multiply the return
if sufficient raw feedstock is available. Operating an extractor
requires at least five crew members.
