The Gas Skimmer GS-III from Bespin Motors was an atmospheric gas skimmer used by the Lant Mining Corporation.
A basic atmospheric mining craft, the GS-III was essentially a flying storage tank equipped with air scoops and a complicated series of filters and sifters to place desired gasses into appropriates tanks. Built to withstand the immense pressure and atmospheric storms of gas giants, the GS-III was typically released from a Garman-class Gas Miner in upper atmosphere, descending to areas where gas concentrations where richest.
