The Penthe-class mining station was a structure that was essential for Klingon colonies in the late 23rd century.
These structures are seen in a new wave of Klingon Empire expansion designed to produce more materials for the Klingon Defense Force. These multi-purpose resource gathering structures mine the raw materials underground through the use of a bore drill in the central core. The materials are returned to the surface through the use of a complicated series of tractor beams. While not a 100% efficient, it is more well rounded which is capable of allowing a colonies steady growth. These structures do not require the powering requirements of the hub and can serve as distant outposts far from the colonial hub. (TOS video game: New Worlds)
- These stations may be named after the Rura Penthe prison in Klingon space.
