Editing Mammoth-class Land Train (section)

==Civilian Use==

The Squats are crafty and adaptable bunch and their creations are no different. Just as how they can use a Land Train for war, such a vehicle of its size can be retrofitted for civilian business. To this day, Land Trains are still used for more peaceful activities. Their vast tracks enable them to reach and supply mines beyond the daunting continental shelves and the seas of dust, the quasi-liquid pulverised rock that makes the soil of most of the Homeworlds.

Accidents are common, and Land Trains can sink without a trace if they venture into the ebb and flow of deep dust.

The dust itself often contains a significant amount of ore, ranging from iron to chromium compounds, silica or tiny mineral crystals, and is mined by factory Land Trains whose engines are equipped with massive scoops and whose track-cars are filled with ore. One of such areas, the Iron Sea of Grindel, is the greatest source of ferrous ore in all of the Homeworlds.
