A very old but reliable design, the Trilon Mining Barque is intended
for asteroid and planetary prospecting. It has very powerful sensors,
adding a +4 equipment bonus to Computer Use checks made to operate the
sensors. On board is an enormous semi-spherical cargo hold (meant
for holding an entire small asteroid, if need be) and complete equipment
for testing and processing various ores and valuable metals. The
heavy mining laser is a part of the automated mining equipment on board,
allowing the ship to hover over a target and quickly dig through even the
hardest substances to find valuable minerals (it can be used to cut through
just about anything, though, including other starships).
