Based on the Singularity Class Battle Carrier, the Sifter Class Mining Drone Carrier is designed to serve the civilian needs of mining and salvage corporations.
Originally intending to create both Mining and Salvage variants, House Mecetti realized it was possible to fully realize both functions in a single starship. The replacement of the offensive weaponry with much more compact defensive weaponry and droid launchers, along with the reduction in crew size to accommodate its civilian role, allowed much more internal volume to be made available.
Utilizing salvage droids for salvage operations, and mining drones for mining operations, the SIfter Class can tackle both jobs with aplomb. In addition, while the offensive weapons have been replaced, the Sifter Class retains a suitable defensive armament of concussion missile launchers and retractable blaster cannons. Even its utilitarian mining lasers can be used to defend the ship in a crisis.
Once ore or salvage is retrieved, on-board ore processing, smelting, and recycling facilities allow it to be instantly melted into ingots and utilized if desired. This eliminates the need to have separate processing facilities in the field where the mining is being done, or to transport them elsewhere for processing. Ore and salvaged parts can also be carried aboard if desired.
There is no more capable salvager or miner on the market.
