| info= The Rorqual was conceived and designed by Outer Ring Excavations in response to a growing need for capital industry platforms with the ability to support and sustain large-scale mining operations in uninhabited areas of space.
The Rorqual is notably capable of using a capital industrial core to substantially increase its industrial capabilities, while empowering its defenses during deployment in a static configuration. A key element of the industrial capacity unlocked by activating an industrial core is the ability to use compressor modules, with the Rorqual able to use the powerful and logistically impressive capital compressors.
Additionally, the Rorqual is able to fit a capital tractor beam unit, capable of pulling in cargo containers from far greater distances and at far greater speeds than smaller beams can. It also possesses a sizeable drone bay, jump drive capability and the capacity to fit a clone vat bay. This combination of elements makes the Rorqual the ideal nexus to build deep space mining operations around.
Due to its specialization towards industrial operations, its ship maintenance bay is able to accommodate only industrial ships, mining barges and their tech 2 variants.

==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Rorqual is a capital industrial ship. It can be used as a booster and support ship in an asteroid belt, using its capital tractor beams to pull in jetcans while fitting mining gang links to boost productivity. However, this role has been more or less taken over by the Orca, which can do all of that and is a much less expensive ship to risk out in the open. The Rorqual's other role, which cannot be done by any other ship, is to use its industrial core to compress ores to make them easier to transport from null sec space to more efficient refining facilities in low and high sec.
Before the [[Expansion#Citadel|Citadel Expansion]] the Rorqual was mostly a toy for Mining Forman <s>Links</s> Bursts and ore [[compression]] in the field. Nowadays (As of April 2018) it's a serious weapon for the industrial backbone of major nullsec alliances and also sees use as a PvP ship as well, using its high drone damage and capital tank to good effect.
 
== Skills ==
''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Rorqual for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.''


==Skills==
== Tactics ==
''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Rorqual for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.''
Avoid using the Rorqual for mining [[command burst]]s - command bursts give the pilot a weapons timer, which inhibits his ability to refit off his [[Mobile Depot]].


==Fitting==
== Notes ==
''No tagged fittings for Rorqual.''
Rorquals are a group of whales of the family ''Balaenopteridae'' though the name is commonly used for fin whale or ''Balaenoptera physalus'' species.


==Tactics==
• Rorquals cannot enter High Security Space.
''No sub-article about Rorqual roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''
