Automated Mineral Exploiter
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Automated Mineral Exploiter was a type of automated spacecraft developed by Bevel Lemelisk and produced by Orko SkyMine in 12 ABY.
[edit] History
It was designed to automatically target a mineral rich asteroid and mine it. Mineral Exploiters were used in the Hoth Asteroid Field to produce materials for the Darksaber weapon.
The four Mineral Exploiters constructed were Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma in that order. Alpha and Beta mistakenly targeted one another during mining and destroyed each other. Delta and Gamma replaced them. The programming on the later two was changed to prevent one Exploiter from targeting another.
