The DY-110 class mission spacecraft were reserved for use by the Auguments, primarily though the Dinyan-Yoyodyne Conglomerate and other shell companies. Their primary purpose was to expand the Augments' reach through the rolar system, providing them priority access to resources found on other planetary bodies. As such, they were equipped with specialized planetary science labs and manned by subject matter experts. Landers were also used, designed to haul colony-development equipment and supplies down to a planetary surface and return to the ship's keel-mounted bay over multiple trips. These landers were designed for the body they were intended to settle on, primarily Mars and Venus (though asteroidal and Mercurian settlements were planned). The DY-110's cargo pods were standard to the DY series, so they could conceivably haul ore or other resources back to Earth.

What really stood the Apex class (as they were referred by the Augments) apart from the commercial DY transports was the armament. A submersible-esque missile tube was mounted within the bow, with 10 radar-guided missiles in the armory. For self-protection, a space-enabled CIWS was installed just aft the sailing tower with a full rear arc of coverage. These weapons were not advertised, but photo analysis (and not a little HUMINT, no doubt) by the US led to public questions. Dinyan-Yoyodyne's response was the tubes were intended to protect the craft (or its construction projects) from rogue asteroids, while the CIWS could be used against smaller debris that might result. Still, concerns were raised about the weaponization of space.
