Mining operations
Mining, the beginning of the industrial cogwheel and the key to humanity's technological growth. A symbol of human culture, a race that takes but sparingly gives, that which we should not be ashamed of. Matter is finite after all.
Raw resources drive our industries, it is the food that must be harvested to survive. Skylark has understood the importance of this driving force and has worked to become a respected seller of raw material to contracted organisations, this was possible by utilizing the full capacity of Skylarks' Kepler & Trident divisions to mine at the forefront of human reach.
Daring to mine untouched systems allows for record high purity & density deposits, now long extracted from inner system sources of the verse, albeit not without risk. Saving costs in land-claim beacons can hardly account for threats from outer-rim pirates, lesser known hostile creatures and the sheer isolation from a human colonial settlement. A necessity for the Ranger division & contractor security with an utmost trust in our Trident division to stay alive light years from home is what makes Skylarks' cogwheel turn.

Salvage operations
All ships must one day retire, it's lifespan can vary greatly and with some proper maintenance, it can be extended beyond manufacturer thresholds. but one day or another it will return to which it was born from. Scrap.. We welcome this cycle of life & death of a space-faring vessel, as it has become one of Skylark's primary sources of income.,,,
Foundry has absorbed the scavenger profession due to the recent Vanduul crisis hitting human space, and war means more scrapped vessels on the field. Making the best use of any situation is what Skylark does best after all.
The scavenger teams operate off of the mining divisions' "One ship rules all" structure to maximize production, or rather "deconstruction" of ship carcasses for their scrap metal. Although where the RSI Orion shines in mining, the Aegis Reclaimer is the king in this field, with a full vulture complement, this is ideal structure for maximizing scavenge operations in Foundry.

Planet-side MiningWith prospecting completed via Kepler division. Surface mining can be completed utilizing planet-side scanning completed prior. Depending on estimated scale of operation, an outpost will be constructed on site with and a fleet of MISC Prospectors. Planet-side mining requires patience and delicacy with handling the powerful mining lasers for extended periods of time. Support freelancer transports, Terrapins for additional mineral prospecting and Ursa rovers for personnel transport are utilized. Ranger division or contractor security will manage base defenses & escort groups of Prospectors in extended operations.

Asteroid MiningAsteroid mining is more dangerous than it's planet-side counterpart. Dense asteroid fields are difficult to maneuver, especially for our RSI Orions which constitute the bulk of the asteroid mining production. Pilots require active situational awareness and particularly good communication & team cohesion. Foundry Division takes greater security measures in these operations as refined material is heavily sought after by pirate organisations and security contractors are usually present along with supporting transport craft.

Salvage OperationsSalvage operations can occur anywhere around the verse, along with constant competition. A single Aegis Reclaimer is at the center of operations, vultures are the first on the scene to salvage undamaged or repairable components before the scrap reclamation commences. A transport medium such as a freelancer or cutlass is used to transport scrap to the nearby Reclaimer from vultures to reduce downtime and increase haul value. This is Foundry's famed "One ship rules all" operation structure.
Scavenging operations are not a reliable source of income, but Skylark sees the occasional high reward operations earn it's place in the Foundry Division. |
Foundry Fleet
|
Foundry's fleet surrounds both mining & salvaging professions, but each is treated differently in regards to their distribution of capital & ship types., The mining sector of Foundry comprises of numerous Prospectors to undertake planet-side mining operations, a very versatile vessel with moderate storage capacity but lacks a refinery. The Orion mining vessel is one of the org's most valuable assets as it not only extracts substantially larger quantities than the Prospector, it also refines precious metals on board. This comes at the cost of being limited to danger-prone asteroid belts and the added value of refined metals makes this a very high value target for pirates..
Salvage operations revolve around another high value asset, the Reclaimer which collects scrap & refines it to a much more sell-able product. Although another high value target but the Reclaimer has more defensive capabilities than it's vulnerable Orion counterpart. Vultures are also used for frequent, small-scale salvage operations and are a reliable investment unlike the Reclaimer which relies on larger shipwrecks that tend to be heavily sought after by competitors.. The support crafts consist of medium haulers such as Freelancer MAX & Cutlass Black for inter-ship transports to reduce downtime., The Terrapin is used to assist guiding vessels to more valuable deposits on long-term mining missions. Foundry also takes control of Skylark mining outposts and therefore manage ground vehicles such as cyclones, dragonflies, and rovers for planet-side ops. |
A career in FoundryNot everyone's ideal job is to dig countless holes or bury your face into an engineering console, but it's what pays the bills right?
What Foundry offers is the opportunity to get your hands on top of the line Aegis & RSI mini factories at the bleeding edge of human explored systems. Contrary to all the people, loan sharks and noise on a planet like Arccorp, the frontier is a quiet, serene but nonetheless dangerous environment. This is your opportunity to create your own unique adventure in the outer rim to share to friends and family, and it comes with a generous paycheck.
