While the Light Miner and Heavy Miner are designed for day to day operations within a few hours range of a dockable habitat, the Gallic Metal Service designed the DS Series Miner to be capable of functioning for several days without being resupplied. The ship is often sent on long range prospecting missions without accompaniment, but is also employed in short range mining work when stronger mining lasers are needed to cut through denser materials. Along with more substantial life support equipment, and a larger cargo hold for collecting samples, the ship is both more heavily armed and armored than lighter GMS designs, so that it can adequately defend itself from any hostilities.

GMS ships are designed and built under contract with EFL shipyards, but they are also sold on the civilian market to small mining companies and entrepreneurial prospectors.
