The Mining Lander is a Cabal excavation device used by the Red Legion and the Shadow Legion.

Overview

Mining Landers are large devices that are deployed down onto planets from Cabal Warships in order to mine valuable resources and commodities that are useful to the Cabal. Drilling operations involving these Mining Landers can be interrupted in Public Events, but doing so will cause a Cabal crew to intervene and take back the lander to continue their excavation. The landers are impenetrable to portable arms fire, and must thus be hacked to stop them. The operation of Mining Landers is overseen by specialized commanders, who will take the field if they believe the operations are being disrupted too much. The Cabal prefer destroying compromised Mining Landers with orbital bombardments rather than leaving the devices in enemy hands.
