Industrial Vessel
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.

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
|
Agricultural Vessel | GA | TBD class Agricultural Vessel | None
|
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.
|
Factory Ship | GF | TBD class Factory Ship | Typically for construction of many things at once, using economies of scale (thus, usually larger than GCs).
|
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. |
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.
|
Utility Vessel, Tug | GU | Powhatan class Heavy Tug | None
|
Ship Tender / Ship Repair Vessel | GV | Ocklosh class Salvage Ship | None
|
Industrial Smallcraft | UG | Tomar class Industrial Mining Launch | None
|
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. |
