Editing Industrial Vessel

{{:Starship-Nav-Bar-Two-2019CE}}
[[Industrial Vessel|G-class Industrial Vessel]]s serve a wide variety of industrial uses including construction, resource processing, manufacturing, ship repair, recovery, and other commercial roles. 
* ''Industrial Vessel''s perform large scale manufacturing, resource processing, and foodstuff raising among other tasks.
* The same vessel under dedicated military service would be known as a ''[[Combat Support Ship|Q-class Combat Support Ship]].''
* Industrial smallcraft can be found under the [[Utility Craft|UG-class]].
* The [[Supraclass]] designation is also known as [[Ship Mission]], [[Ship Mission Code]], Mission, or [[Ship Hull Designation]]. 
* It is a [[starship]] [[supraclass]].

=== Strategy & Tactics (Doctrine) ===
''Industrial Vessel''s and their militarized cousins, the ''[[Combat Support Ship]]s'', do the heavy lifting in [[Charted Space]]: factory ships, mobile refineries, mining vessels, nano-manufacturies, and all sorts of industrial applications. Such ships come with escorts where needed, and rarely have enough seed or armament to escape marauders if they did show up. They are often enormously expensive and no smart corporation or megacorporation would leave an asset such as these unprotected.

=== Supraclass Roles ===
''Industrial Vessel''s typically serve the following roles: <br>

=== Supraclass Archetypal Roles ===
These vessels typically serve the following archetypal roles:
{| class="wikitable sortable" 
!colspan="4"| G-class Industrial Vessel Supraclass Archetypes
|-
! Archetype
! Type Code
! Exemplar 
! Remarks
|-
| [[Industrial Vessel]]
| G
| [[Heyan Rose class Freight Tractor]]
| None
* G = Great Industrial
|-
| [[Agricultural Vessel]]
| GA
| No exemplar yet available.
| Primarily focused on production of agricultural goods. Notionally similar to Construction or Factory type except for the type of output (which affects means of production and typical market).
* A = Agricultural
|-
| [[Construction Vessel]]
| GC
| [[Legionary class Corvette]]
| Typically for construction of one thing (such as another ship or a building) at a time. Usually smaller than most GFs.
* C = Construction
|-
| [[Bio-Construction Vessel]]
| GCB
| [[Parthenolab class Bio-Construction Vessel]]
| A construction vessel that makes single instances or small batches at a time of biological products by non-agricultural means (and thus not a GA).
* C = Construction
* B = Biological
|-
| [[Factory Ship]]
| GF
| No exemplar yet available.
| Typically for construction of many things at once, using economies of scale (thus, usually larger than GCs).
* F = Factory
|-
| [[Bio-Construction Plant]]
| GFB
| No exemplar yet available.
| A factory ship that makes large quantities and/or many types of primarily or entirely biological products at a time, constructing them via non-agricultural means (and thus not a GA).
* F = Factory
* F = Biological
|-
| [[Refinery Vessel]]
| GG
| [[Prelude class Mobile Refinery]]
| Refinery vessels that can obtain their own unprocessed fuel (which is most refinery vessels) are classified by type: GGI can mine ice, GGW can scoop water and/or skim gas giants, and GGM (for Multi) can do both. Just having a fuel processor on board does not qualify a ship as GG by itself; fuel refining must be the primary mission of the ship.
* G = Gas, [[Fuel]], [[etc.]]
|-
| [[Mining Vessel]]
| GJ
| [[SI-049 Company Store class Mining Tender]]
| Mining ships that can also build things are GCM or GFM depending on construction focus.
* J = ram'''J'''et (...an early [[reaction drive]] used by many of the earliest [[asteroid prospector]]s)
|-
| [[Heavy Industrial Vessel ]]
| GH
| No exemplar yet available.
| None
* H = Heavy
|-
| [[Heavy Industrial Vessel ]]
| GL
| No exemplar yet available.
| None
* L = Light
|-
| [[Medium Industrial Vessel ]]

| No exemplar yet available.
| None
* H = Medium
|-
| [[Utility Vessel]], [[Tug]]
| GQ
| [[Powhatan class Heavy Tug]]
| None
* Q = Quartermaster, Combat Support, Logistics, Utility, [[etc.]]
|-
| [[Superheavy Industrial Vessel ]]
| GS
| No exemplar yet available.
| None
* S = Supraheavy
|-
| [[Ultraheavy Industrial Vessel ]]
| GU
| [[Prelude class Mobile Refinery]]
| None
* U = Ultraheavy
|-
| [[Ship Tender]] / [[Ship Repair Vessel]]
| GV
| [[Ocklosh class Salvage Ship]]
| A ''[[Ship Tender]]'' is a vessel intended to maintain and repair stricken ships. Essentially, a floating maintenance and repair yard with all labs, workshops, tools, and a limited quantity of supplies to perform such duty, with more sourced from supply ships attending the fleet. The [[ship tender]] and ''[[fleet tender]]'' terms are often, though mistakenly, used interchangeably.
* V = Ship Repair, Ship Salvage, [[etc.]]
|-
| [[Prospector Vessel]]
| J
| [[Type J class Seeker]]
| ''Prospector Vessel''s or ''[[Very Light Industrial Vessel]]s'' are typically smaller mining and prospecting vessels that participate and perform important roles in the resource extraction and processing industries.
* J = ram'''J'''et (...an early [[reaction drive]] used by many of the earliest [[asteroid prospector]]s)
|-
| [[Industrial Smallcraft]]
| UG
| [[Tomar class Industrial Mining Launch]]
| None
* U = Utility
|-
!colspan="4"| ''NOTES:'' There is semantic overlap between many of the classes and codes. Some codes organize by mission or capability, others by size and [[ton]]nage, and yet others by other characteristics.
