The Garman-class gas mining ship is actually more of a transport vessel than an actual mining craft. It carries 20 atmospheric skimmers which are released to collect the desired gasses. The returning skimmers transfer their cargoes to the vast, pressurized holds of the bulky vessel.

The ship serves as a close-orbit storage and support station during atmospheric mining operations. The miners live aboard ship. Once its tanks are filled, the ship jumps to a refinery and transfers the gasses into vast holding tanks.
