The '''Dredger''' is a ~~type~~ of [[Bulk Cruiser]] [[Megaship]]~~. They scour the galaxy for salvage~~ to ~~sell or repurpose, and after stripping their quarry clean, they use~~ the large intake and grinder ~~mechanisms mounted~~ on ~~their bows~~ to break up [[~~ships~~]], ~~structural fragments, and even~~ [[~~asteroids~~]] ~~into manageable pieces for further processing~~. ~~Many~~ Dredgers are ~~run~~ by ~~insular clans~~ who ~~live aboard their ships~~ and ~~develop their~~ own eccentric ~~micro-cultures over~~ the ~~course of decades and centuries~~.

The '''Dredger''' is a class of [[Bulk Cruiser]] [[Megaship]] last known to be manufactured in the 31st century. This ship has a design that utilizes a large intake and grinder mechanism on its bow to draw in both natural materials and manufactured objects, then break them down and synthesize the products into fuel, air, and other vital resources. This also means Dredgers must constantly seek out new sources of raw materials and salvage to maintain themselves, or risk suffering mechanical failures. Advancements in [[hyperdrive]] and [[Fuel Scoop]] technology have rendered this design obsolete, but Dredgers can still achieve a [[jump range]] similar to modern [[Drake-Class Carrier|fleet carriers]]. Dredgers that are still in operation in the 34th century were acquired centuries or decades earlier by nomadic [[Dredger Clans]], who keep the vessels operational and use them in a similar manner as [[Generation Ship]]s. Tens of thousands of clan members may inhabit a single Dredger, and each clan typically possesses its own eccentric culture. Depending on the clan running it, a Dredger passing through an inhabited [[Star system|system]] may only furtively scavenge local detritus, or carry out aggressive raids on unprotected outposts.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60743539b44e52188377456e GalNet: Galactic Mysteries: Dredger Clans]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60e857529a9f437bd96dff0f GalNet: Scriveners Clan Abandons the Hesperus]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6192729dcdea267ad6243308 GalNet: Dredger Clan Faces Possible Extinction]</ref>
