==Features==

{{List item
|Reactors
|The ship has 6 dedicated Reactors which can process different refining actions at the same time. These may be set to different refining processes and/or different materials.<ref name="ExpanseConcept"/>
}}
{{List item
|Cargo pod mounts
|Eight slots for expanded cargo pods (64 SCU) with another eight compressed above them. These allows the Expanse to pick up dropped ore pods from other mining ships and refine them immediately.<ref name="ExpanseStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Integrated tractor beams
|These ensure that receiving raw materials and distributing processed ore are entirely hands-off procedures.<ref name="ExpanseConcept"/>
}}
{{List item
|Weapons
|Two Size 1 pilot controlled weapons offer protection when refining in the field.<ref name="ExpanseStore"/>
