As soon as the patents expired on Corellian Engineering's Y-8 Mining vessel, House Mecetti immediately set about building a copy of the venerable mining craft. The Rockbreaker is cheaper than the Corellian version and includes an onboard smelter and smelting droid. It is also slower than the Corellian competitor, but this fact does not appear in the brochure. It should also be noted that while the Rockbreaker can land on planets, it can only balance on its ventral pylon if partial power remains to the ship to activate the standby repulsorlifts. A cargo elevator runs the length of the ventral pylon to allow occupants and a limited amount of cargo to disembark when the ship is landed.
