DESCRIPTION
The backbone of Universal Mining, the UM-68 is an all-purpose ship designed to not only mine any and every type of mineral, fluid, gas or substance in the galaxy, it is meant to do so efficiently while also guaranteeing the safety of the pilot and onboard crew.
The ship has been in service for a very long time, with no concerns of replacing it anytime soon. A number of refits have been commissioned to ensure the ship remains as capable as possible, but the core design is still the same in all of its rugged glory.
