N-Class Laser Drill Ships

The N-Class Laser Drilling Ships played a crucial role in the early days of Europa’s colonization.
The tunnels they created made it possible to connect countless natural caves, expand settlement areas, and access valuable resources. To accomplish this, they were equipped not only with the small auxiliary shuttle Kobold, but also with a massive drilling laser and, to power it, an equally powerful reactor.
However, these two core systems were so expensive, that, if either one was damaged, it was usually no longer economically viable to keep the submarine operational. As a result, almost all N-Class drilling ships have now been decommissioned.

Only the N-13 Agulhas and the N-48 Aghoru remain in service today.
The N-48 Aghoru was originally slated for scrapping after a near-catastrophic reactor incident, but it was salvaged at relatively low cost by a particularly daring captain. Rumors claim he is crazy enough to use the mining laser to hunt Molochs.

The N-13 Agulhas, on the other hand, underwent extensive modernization after its original laser failed, including an upgrade to the experimental LAS-13A laser. Unfortunately, ever since the refit, no insurance company has been willing to cover the vessel.
