The Hephaestus is the support center for the Sparta class Mobile Operations Center. She provides the materials necessary to run the Sparta's subsections.

The Hephaestus also provides the materials needed for the construction of ships in the Daedalus class Mobile Ship Yard. She uses specialized material haulers to transport the materials to the required subsections.

The Hephaestus is equipped with mining robots, which remove materials from the near by asteroid belts or planets. They then transport the raw materials to the material processing system. The materials are then broken down into their required components.

The Hephaestus also provides required materials to the ships in defence of the Sparta, refueling them and providing the materials for missile production.
