The Seeker class Asteroid Prospector is a light prospecting starship.
- It is a civilian ship and a Prospector.
Description (Specifications)
The dispersed structure hull is unstreamlined and is a chaotic array of gantries, modules and maneuver components. Antennae farms jut out at odd angles around a large central cargo bay. The bay is home to a small ore processing refinery. A pair of staterooms and a small medical bay, equipped with an emergency low berth form the foundation of a spin habitat module. There is an oxygen garden and hydroponics bay next to the carbon scrubbers, adjacent to the solar power array. The ship has a powerful pulse mining laser for blasting and melting rocks in the search for rare elements and valuable minerals and ores. The free floating excess particulates resulting from its use would quickly obscure the digging site. Therefore these tiny rock bits are captured by the refinery and packed into 50kg canisters. This forms the basis for the PPES or Pez system. The prismatic particulates ejection system, happens to function as the equivalent of a defensive sand caster battery. There is also a 50kg survey drone launcher which can be re-purposed to function as a missile launch rail.

History & Background (Dossier)
Another quality product of the Nist (world) shipyards. Upon mustering out many local belters obtain these vessels once their production quotas have been satisfied and they are permitted to operate independently of centralized mining guild controls.
