The Grafvollud rounds off the Ark's Sparks premium all-purpose miner lineup, slotting between the Skalpell and the Fafner MkII with a 8-laser drill. Unlike the Fafner MkII however, the Grafvollud comes with a large generator for increased endurance in the field and can handle hours upon hours of mining without needing to refuel - a feature that will make its way to the future Fafner EX. It also sports a short 9-ring plasma for cruising, but can fly using normal thrusters while mining.

This ship is intended to be printed in large numbers to serve as the backbone of a company's cap ship-based mining operations. Its smaller capacity compared to the Fafner makes it lighter and easier to maneuver in the belt nearby a cap ship, and its surface mining ability allows it to substitute for dedicated surface miners when none are available.

On top of its mining capability, the Grafvollud also has cargo lock beams available for hauling a single T10 asteroid, to be mined upon reaching your capital ship, or to be sold wholesale. Note that hauling an asteroid prevents the avoidance system from turning on, as it will block the rangefinders.
