Overview

The Orbital Refinery is a Realm 2 orbital platform for harvesting asteroid and related space nodes. It is an industrial hull — high cargo and harvest cycle — not a warship.

Special capabilities

On-site refining

  • Processes orbital nodes with dedicated harvest speed / cycle (see catalog stats)
  • Large cargo bay for long harvest runs
  • Alliance resource boost when used in alliance-controlled space contexts

Protect Refineries: they are slow, valuable, and attractive raid targets while working a node.

Strategic Use

  • Core of asteroid income after early Cargo / Recycler play
  • Escort when operating near contested space
  • Industrialist-focused empires get the most value from harvest fleets
