USG Ishimura

The USG Ishimura was named after astrophysicist Hideki Ishimura (inventor of the ShockPoint Drive), and was first of the massive planet cracker ships. Built 62 years before the beginning of the Dead Space narrative, she had a long and storied career. The Ishimura was the first vessel of her size to utilize the shockpoint drive for large-scale, commercial, and deep space expeditions. She was created to mine and smelt entire planets and moons. She was also the first ship capable of the "scan and catch technique" for harvesting mineral-rich asteroids using huge gravity tethers. The Ishimura can lock onto asteroids and pull them inside the ships massive collection bays for smelting.

Despite the long years of service, she was the pride of the fleet and remained the largest planet cracker in the fleet. Whenever a deep space mining project came up and the Ishimura was available, she was the first to be called.
