Mining World

A Mining World is a specialized category of planetary classification with a primary focus on the extraction and exploitation of valuable mineral resources. These worlds serve as critical centers for raw material acquisition, contributing to the vast industrial complex and resource demands of the galaxy. While the concept of mining worlds is widespread, within the Thoria Empire, a distinct approach is undertaken to meet the resource needs of the empire.
In the Thoria Empire, traditional mining techniques involve the utilization of colossal bucket wheel excavators and advanced mining technologies to extract valuable minerals and ores from the planet's surface. These worlds are meticulously scoured, and their resources are processed, refined, and transported through an intricate network of space ports and logistics centers, serving the imperial economy and various sectors.
However, in instances where a planet possesses exceptionally rich and rare resources, a more drastic method is employed. These worlds are subjected to a process known as planetary cracking, which involves breaking apart the planet into large planetoid-sized fragments. This allows for the extraction of resources from space, circumventing the need for traditional surface mining. These planetoid fragments are then meticulously mined in space, ensuring that every valuable resource is extracted.
Mining worlds are of paramount importance to the empire's economic stability and military might, providing the essential materials required for everything from advanced technological production to the construction of massive warships. They are subject to careful management, oversight, and protection to ensure a steady supply of resources and contribute to the empire's continuous expansion and dominance across the galaxy.
