Miners will jet-can ore, just as they do in a high-sec shared-can op. Where they deposit those cans depends on the op and the type of mining vessel used. In Procurers (with their smaller ore holds), miners will need to jettison frequently, and so they will usually be dropping cans in the belt/anomaly. This works well for the miner, but not as well for the hauler that has to pick up the cans, because the hauler is vulnerable in the belt (and not as well tanked as the Procurer). In Retrievers, miners won't need to drop cans as frequently, so miners can release cans after warping out to their assigned warp-out point. The hauler can then retrieve the cans at that out-of-belt point. In either mining vessel, if the miner is forced to dock by aggression, the miner can keep ore in their station inventory until the FC can trade for it in-station. | Miners will jet-can ore, just as they do in a high-sec shared-can op.

===Orca and | ===Orca, hauler and processing support should be provided by the FC, and preferably by out-of-corp characters.=== | ||
Orcas | Orcas are the most expensive, slowest ships in the fleet. They typically shouldn't be flown by Unistas, to ensure their safety during high-sec travel. In low-sec ops, the Orca should be posted within the docking range of a station if possible, or within 1 km of a gate leading to a high-sec system. No one should be able to take down an Orca before it can dock at station or jump away. | ||
The FC will probably need to supply multiple hauling vessels to support a low-sec mining op: | |||
* A [[Miasmos]], to retrieve miners' jet-canned ore from belts & warp-out points. The FC will transport this ore to the closest low-sec station or POS reprocessing array, where the FC will convert the ore to minerals with near-perfect refine. | |||
* A [[Kryos]], to move the processed minerals to the nearest high-sec system. It is too dangerous to ship minerals in a freighter, so we will be shuttling it in batches with a Kryos, the dedicated mineral hauler. | |||
* A freighter, to transport the minerals to market. | |||
