G-class Industrial Vessels serve a wide variety of industrial uses including construction, resource processing, manufacturing, ship repair, recovery, and other commercial roles.

• Industrial Vessels perform large scale manufacturing, resource processing, and foodstuff raising among other tasks.
• The same vessel under dedicated military service would be known as a Q-class Combat Support Ship.
• Industrial smallcraft can be found under the UG-class.
• The Supraclass designation is also known as Ship Mission, Ship Mission Code, Mission, or Ship Hull Designation.
• It is a starship supraclass.

2. Utility Craft (U)

Supraclass Archetypal Roles

These vessels typically serve the following archetypal roles:

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	TBD class Agricultural Vessel	None A = Agricultural
Construction Vessel	GC	Library class Archive Ship	Typically for construction of one thing (such as another ship or a building) at a time. Usually smaller than most GFs. C = Construction
Factory Ship	GF	TBD class Factory Ship	Typically for construction of many things at once, using economies of scale (thus, usually larger than GCs). F = Factory
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	GM	SI-049 Company Store class Mining Tender	Mining ships that can also build things are GCM or GFM depending on construction focus. M = Mining
Utility Vessel, Tug	GU	Powhatan class Heavy Tug	None U = Utility
Ship Tender / Ship Repair Vessel	GV	Ocklosh class Salvage Ship	None V = Ship Repair, Ship Salvage, etc.
Industrial Smallcraft	UG	Tomar class Industrial Mining Launch	None U = Utility
NOTES: There is semantic overlap between many of the classes and codes. Some codes organize by mission or capability, others by size and tonnage, and yet others by other characteristics.
