## Description:

The Trinka Class Mining Corvette's were put into production by the Elrood StarYards to fill orders placed by the Radell Mining Corporation
 at the turn of the millennium. Since then more orders have been placed
and filled for the Trinka which has a low price, low operating cost, and
 is easy for smaller entities to crew. The key strength of the Trinka
however is versatility, the internal equipment can easily be modified,
replaced, and upgraded to handle vastly different mining operations
throughout the galaxy. The ship isn't well suited for long term deep
space mining however, and thus typically operate close to, or in
populated systems where they can unload their wares, receive resupply,
and call for assistance if needed.

The layout of the Trinka can be divided into three different sections.
The angular forward section contains the tractor beam emitters, and
heavy mining lasers. The metal plating on the dorsal section can
retract, acting as a large cargo bay door and allow materiel cut down to
 an appropriate size by the mining lasers and them moved into this area
by the tractor beams. From there the materiel can be processed, melted
down, or manipulated in whatever way is most convenient for storage. On
either side of the forward section are massive docking rings to transfer
 processed materiel quickly to other vessels. With extensive
modifications these docking rings can also be fitted with long particle
collecting coops allowing the Trinka to conduct gas mining operations in
 dense nebulae or the upper reaches of a gas giant as well.

The middle section is where the expansive cargo bay of the ship is
located, and can easily be modified for refrigeration, radiation
protection, or whatever is necssary for the safe handling of the
materiel to be transported. The rear section contains the ships power
systems, most of the crew facilities, and the command and control
center. Likewise it can be modified for further shielding against
radiation, but is overall cramped and crew members are often required to
 hot rack in order to save on space for provisions.

While not heavily armed, the Trinka is heavily armored. The alusteel
armor plating is intended to defend the ship against the numerous impact
 hazards involved with mining in asteroid belts, and keep
micrometeoroids from causing severe damage. The lighter mining lasers
and advance sensor system also aid in this, allowing the Trinka to
identify and break apart larger asteroids that the ship can't get out of
 the way of in a timely manner. Overall the ship has poor acceleration
and maneuverability for a corvette and has been described as having a
hard time getting out of its own way. The heavy shielding can alternate
between a heavy particle shield to further aid in such protections, or a
 heavy ray shield for mining in areas with high levels of radioactivity,
 although both can be operated at the same time at a setting on par with
 low grade shield generators.

The *Adriana's Gift* is a Trinka operated by the TEF for the purpose of mining ice in the rings of Adriana
 in the Outer Tatoo Solar System. Due to the more pressing need for
refrigeration at the TEF base in Mos Esther the ship is forced to store
the mined ice in a liquid form. The ship has the ability to interface
with pumping systems in the Mos Esther spaceport allowing it to transfer
 the water to the TEF's storage facility on the ground for usage by the
Expedition or further transfers to the impoverished regions of Tatooine.
 The *Gift* can transport up to 3000 m3 of water per a trip.
