Mining Bases |
| About |
Mining bases are affixed to and carved into large asteroids. This means that flying through an asteroid field is usually mandatory for getting there. Mining bases suffer from tremors which collapse mines.
Mines are most prevalent in Fariss Quadrant, though they are also found, less frequently, throughout the sector. The bars are generally Spartan and all drinks have been imported (and are therefore expensive). Mining bases need food. They have plenty of minerals and not much interest in luxury goods.
Mining bases also seek ways to distract their lonely workers. Issues of Plaything, games or other entertainment are in high demand.
Demand from mining bases has shifted from metals to radioactive ores. Radioactive ores are becoming less valuable with the invention of particle weapons. The Confederation and militia are apparently increasing patrols around mining bases to keep raw material out of Kilrathi possession.
