Intent: To create a unique ship for the Confederacy of Independent Systems and select salvagers and privateers to comb battlefields for scrap from fallen ships or asteroid fields for mineral resources
Development Thread: NA
Manufacturer: Druckenwell Shipyards
Model: Salvager-Class Collection Vehicle
Affiliation: Confederacy of Independent Systems/Select Contractors
Modularity: None
Production: Minor
Material: Durasteel/Transparisteel
Description: Ahead of the creation of the civil service ready resource collection and survey vehicles being released by the Techno Union, Druckenwell Shipyards has released a new vessel for the purpose of scouring a battlefield for all scrap metals.
The Salvager-Class vehicle will go in after a battle has occurred to collect all the raw materials using a system of tractor beams. Materials are collected, and sorted within the main hold of the ship. Any useful pieces that may be able to be repaired or scrapped for specific parts are set aside, while the majority of of the scrap collected will be compacted and organized by type of metal to later be smelted down and used in construction of new vessels. In addition to being used in post-battlefields, the Salvager is also serves a secondary purpose as a mining vessel. Using Mining Droids created by a variety of companies, the Salvager is equally at home combing asteroid fields while droids free base minerals and precious metals from rock for collection. All of the scrap and minerals that are collected are deposited through a magnetic containment shield into the open work space. This space is shielded to allow for atmosphere to be held in the case of a sentient needing to be on the floor. This also allows for any sort of small ship to board the vessel in case of emergency or surprise inspection.
Lightly crewed, the majority of the operation aboard a Salvager-class is performed by worker droids as the work involves heavy lifting as well as the tedious job of sorting the salvage. As such, the living quarters of the ship include very few dorms, as well as a limited galley and recreation center. However, due to the nature of the ship, the cargo capacity and consumables can last for up to six months in one hitch.
