Asterion-Class Miner

The Asterion-Class Miner is one of the mainstay ships in the MercDragon fleet. Cheap to mass produce, dependable and effective, it is usually the first command for any MercDragon member.
== Description ==
Designed by Nosajimiki, the Asterion-Class was designed as an interim mining ship to allow rapid growth following repeated experiments with new servers following the decline and eventual fall of the Galaxies Aflame server. This smaller version of the Buckunwa class miner could be built within hours of setting up on a new server while being able to bring in massive amounts of raw materials to jump start a new industrial endeavor. Since those uncertain times, it has continued to see regular usage as MercDragon's "training" ship of choice.
Operating with highly-specialised MilSpec salvaging arrays, it is capable of gathering resources at remarkable speeds, even rivalling bigger miners. The optimised on-board systems are capable of making calculations faster than the average miner, granting faster resource atomization.
It also includes a full electronics package and sensor suite, with advanced scanners for efficient target aquisition and jammers. 
== Today ==
It is being phased out by the new Basilisk-Class, but there are still some vessels of this class in service.
