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 [[escort]]s where needed, and rarely have enough speed 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 ]]
| GM
| 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.
