Asteroid Mining Unit

Asteroid Mining Units were mining utility stations built by Byblos Drive Yards.
==Description==
An Asteroid Mining Unit was a stationary utility station used to extract minerals from asteroids, then eject the extracted material out of the interior of an asteroid field. Slightly smaller than a Strike Cruiser, they were unarmed, but were equipped with shield generators. These stations were unmanned, and had no internal docking facilities.
==History==
The Asteroid Mining Unit was built by Byblos Drive Yards, one of many products they produced to aid in mining activities. They were used by a variety of organizations. At least one Asteroid Mining Unit was used during the Galactic Civil War to supply the Empire, XP-MU 3376 in the asteroid field of the Kessel system.Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance Battle 6, Mission 7: "Family Reunion"
==Behind the scenes==
Though the station's description in Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance lists them as being in use by "various," only one Asteroid Mining Unit is ever seen, in the "Family Reunion" mission.
