Star Wars Mining Ship
This is a list of fictional spacecraft, starships and exo-atmospheric vessels that have been identified by name in notable published works of fiction. The term 'spacecraft' is mainly used to refer to spacecraft that are real or conceived using present technology. The terms 'spaceship' and 'starship' are generally applied only to fictional space vehicles, usually those capable of transporting people. Spaceships are often one of the key plot devices in science fiction. Numerous short stories and novels are built up around various ideas for spacecraft, and spacecraft have featured in many films and television series. Some hard science fiction books focus on the technical details of the craft. Some fictional spaceships have been referenced in the real world, notably Starship Enterprise from Star Trek which gave its name to Space Shuttle Enterprise and to the VSS Enterprise.[1]For other ships from Star Wars, Star Trek, Robotech, and other major franchises, see the separate lists linked below.

The fictional universe of the Star Wars franchise features multiple planets and moons.While only the feature films and selected other works are considered canon to the franchise since the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by The Walt Disney Company, some canon planets were first named or explored in works from the non-canon Star Wars expanded universe, now rebranded Star Wars Legends. Raw Materials are stored first in the cargo area of the mining facilities and then silos of the same owner in the same city. Later, they can be moved to cargo area of vehicles or ships in same city. If city is full (eg. Both the Mine and Silos are full), then mining is stopped.

Star Wars[edit]In the Star Wars universe, a 'starfighter' is a blanket term for all small combat space craft, regardless of shields, hyperspace capability, weaponry (unless it carries none), armor, maneuverability and crew. 'Snubfighter' (a term first used in Star Wars), though no concise definition has been given, often refers to a fighter carrying shielding, secondary weapons systems such as proton torpedoes or concussion missiles, and being hyperspace capable. Starfighters sometimes bear mission designations similar to modern fighter aircraft, such as 'strike fighter' and 'space superiority fighter'.
Rebel Alliance and New Republic
Galactic Empire and First Order
