Micro-scale Mega Ships
At the front is an asteroid smasher. These giant ships are far less manoeuvrable than in the popular video game. They use a long rail gun to fire at rocky asteroids, whose pieces can then be swallowed by refinery ships.
At the rear is a water tanker, used for transporting essential water to arid planets. These planets often support colonies that mine for rare minerals, whose prices support the cost of shipping in water for the miners.
