Major Features

- Notes:
- This station does not buy ore or items. It's only ment for player trading.
- The station is located in the bottom area of the belt. You need to be mid-way from Origins to get the transponder to show, at approximately 200 km out.
- The station is located in the area free of player stations. Please do not try to establish a player station in its area on the live server, as such stations will get moved.
- There will initially be asteroids inside the safe zone. This is intended, as players seeking a brief refuge for mining can mine in safety until the asteroids are depleted. Note that you need to first get to the station to benefit from this. Also the station is not located in the highest tier asteroid zone.
- Moon mining
- Works outside safe zones with pickaxe, mining laser, rocket launcher and remote explosive
