An iceborer, alternatively called a stylus ship because of its characteristic form, served as a mining vessel on frozen planets. Characterized by its extended, slender build and pointed bow, the craft featured a clear, cylindrical cockpit where the lone operator reclined. Its operational method involved deploying a concentrated melting blast directly in its path just before making contact with the ice.
During the Battle of Helska IV, the Merry Miner had an iceborer onboard; Jacen Solo employed it to extract Danni Quee from the clutches of the Yuuzhan Vong.
