The Dredger is a type of Bulk Cruiser Megaship. It has a design that utilizes a large intake and grinder mechanism on the bow of the ship to draw in both natural materials and manufactured objects, then break them down into raw resources and fuel. Advancements in hyperdrive and Fuel Scoop technology have rendered this design obsolete, but Dredgers can still achieve a jump range similar to modern 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 Ships. 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 system may only furtively scavenge local detritus, or carry out aggressive raids on unprotected outposts.[1][2]
