Arrastra

The Arrastra, a mining platform produced by Roberts Space Industries (RSI), is designed to address the numerous hazards associated with mining the abundant and valuable resources found throughout the universe. With powerful remote-controlled laser heads, a shifting top/bottom mining turret, space for ground mining vehicles, an onboard refinery, and a comfortable living area, the Arrastra is perfectly suited to long-haul multi-crew mining operations.^[1]^[2]

Features

Remote-Controlled operator seats

Operators can remain safe in the cockpit while using the Arrastra's powerful mining heads to mine asteroids and other valuable deposits

Onboard refinery

Enhancing the workflow of industry, the Arrastra may refine mined material on-site, discarding unsaleable rock and maximizing the value of every SCU of cargo space. The Arrastra has two reactors, allowing it to run two separate orders concurrently. They are larger than those found in the Expanse, allowing each order to contain a much higher quantity of goods.^[3]

Quantanium refining

The Arrastra's reactors can refine Quantanium as a resource but has no way to feed it back into its fuel tanks.^[3]

Auxiliary garage

With capacity for ground-vehicles like the ROC, the garage expands the capability of the Arrastra to include full ground operations in a variety of terrains. It is designed to hold two ROC-DSs or two Ursa-rover-sized vehicles^[3]

Onboard ammenities

The Arrastra has a shared bunk area for the crew and a separate shared habitation area for them to relax and prepare food. There are no dedicated medical rooms aboard. There are integrated weapon and suit storage facilities but no dedicated armory.^[3]
