Ore can be transported from planet to
planet inside of a Ore Pod. Ore Pods can be placed inside
of a
ship's cargo bay or launched from a planet from a Pod Launch Pad and travel without

Races that can build Labor Mines include Stormers,
Privateers, Empire,
Birdmen and Robots. Labor Mines only extract minerals
when there are prisoners present. Labor Mines can
sometimes effect the morale of the entire enemy race
being forced to work in the mine.
