元始级是经过重新设计的联合矿业运载舰，目的是为了缓解行星圈环境中开采的压力。在最初，这艘船的设计用途是为了在海盗横行的地区打捞和运载遇险或遭到攻击而失事的联合矿业舰队，这种情况往往需要进行大规模的打捞和转运工作。它的前一个版本尽管强大，但是在克隆飞行员出现后就显得陈旧过时。联合矿业很快发现，只要经过一些小范围的改装，元始级就能变成一艘高效率的资源采集辅助舰船，很快这项改造计划就被付诸实施。

元始级在其本身就较为坚固的装甲基础上再降低了自身的信号半径。除此之外，舰上的两个大型船舱也得到了改造，用于放置行星资源开采和处理所需的设备。这些改造让元始级成为了那些奋斗在行星资源采集前线的人之首选。

The Primae is a repurposed ORE hauler design intended to ease the task of extracting resources from planetbound environments. Initially devised as a deep space salvage and hauling vessel for large-scale ore retrieval from destroyed ORE fleets in pirate-occupied areas, its previous incarnation was made all but obsolete by the arrival of capsuleers on the interstellar scene. Realizing that the ship could, with a few minor modifications, be made into an efficient resource harvesting aid, ORE wasted no time in revamping the design.

A low signature radius (a holdover from its earlier manifestation) adds a layer of defense to the Primae's already decent plating. In addition, the ship's two large bays have been re-engineered to hold equipment for planetside resource extraction and processed materials, making it an especially useful complement to any planetside harvesting endeavor.
