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.

To that end, the Rorqual's primary strength lies in its ability to grind raw ores into particles of smaller size than possible before, while still maintaining their distinctive molecular structure. This means the vessel is able to carry vast amounts of ore in compressed form.

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

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.
