As a rule, the bulk of useful mineral deposits occur at a depth of several hundred or even several thousand kilometers. In order to reach them, ultra-deep mines must be drilled.

While this happens gases formed are evacuated into reverse-sublimation equipment, where they are turned into a fine dust. Such a procedure is necessary even on planets where there is no atmosphere or are otherwise unsuitable for life, because dust can clog, and then spoil mining equipment. This technology increases the amount of extracted resources on the planet.

High-technology homing missile, having the maximum effect against small ships. The warhead is filled with antimatter plasma suspended in a magnetic field. When the missile first contacts the ship's armor, the field is disabled and the antimatter is released to interact with matter, resulting in a powerful explosion that annihilates the targeted vessel and emits high-energy radiation. The speed is equal to the armor-piercing missile and it can be mounted on medium-sized pylons.
