• Efficient Asteroid Processing: Combines advanced drilling, scanning, and refining systems into a single platform capable of high-volume extraction and initial processing of asteroid resources.
• Robust Civilian Defenses: Features redundant shielding and anti-starfighter emplacements sufficient to deter pirates and small-scale threats while remaining cost-effective for commercial operation.
• Comprehensive Security & Data Systems: Extensive internal and external sensors, security measures, and recording equipment provide strong operational oversight and incident documentation.

• Immobile & Slow: Extremely limited mobility and no hyperdrive make the station vulnerable to being trapped or targeted once located in an asteroid field.
• No Offensive Capability: Complete lack of weapons leaves it reliant on escorts or defensive emplacements, making it susceptible to determined military or heavily armed pirate attacks.
• Large Target Profile: Its massive size makes it easy to detect and difficult to hide or quickly reposition in contested regions.

Developed by the Trade Federation in 900 ABY, the Revelation-class Asteroid Mining Station is a large-scale, self-contained commercial platform designed for resource extraction in asteroid fields. Measuring 3,000 meters in length and width, the station uses tractor beams, docking clamps, and massive retrorockets to anchor itself near rich deposits.

Once positioned, its Zenomach Giant Drill, beamdrills, geoscanners, and mining droids extract ore, which is then processed through molecular sifters and automated refineries before loading onto mining barges and laser skiffs.

The station supports a crew of 400-800 personnel with substantial cargo capacity for refined materials and includes puffer pig holding centers for gas detection. It features average civilian-grade defenses, including redundant shields and anti-starfighter emplacements, making it well-suited for protected frontier operations.

However, its lack of hyperdrive, very low speed and maneuverability, and absence of offensive weapons make it dependent on escorts and vulnerable if defenses are breached. The Revelation-class has proven popular with independent miners and smaller corporations seeking reliable, high-output asteroid mining infrastructure.
