Cloud-Dredger
From Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum
Cloud-Dredgers are massive kharadron skyvessels used to mine and store huge quantities of aether-gold.[2a]
Description
Cloud-Dredgers dwarf Arkanaut Frigates, carry few weapons and move at a relatively slow speed.[1b]
Role
Cloud-Dredgers are used for strip-mining established claims. Mining a gaseous metal, like aether-gold, involves vacuuming in large quantities of air, then using alchemical processes to separate the aether-gold from other gases.[2b][1a] The collected aether-gold resultingly stored in the Cloud-Dredger is ultimately transferred into specialised freighters like Aetherhulks and Krontankers.[2b][3a][1a][2c]
