| Mission briefing |

| Well, we've located some asteroids that contain substantial amounts of Polygypsum. It's a comparatively rare mineral, and almost completely unknown in this system. Our guys want to have a look at the stuff and see if they can figure out some way to make use of it; however, we don't have anyone who wants to deal with the stuff. So guess who I thought of first?
You'll need to grab all 2,800 units of the stuff and get it back here. So what do you think? Are you in? |
Despite the Retriever being the Mining Barge with the largest mining hold (27,500 m3 - base), even with 
Mining Barge at V (34,375 m3) it is not able to haul the required volume of ore in one trip.
Ungated normal space pocket. Rats listed are Guristas, other factions spawn based on region.
Random bursts of damage from Asteroid (Polygypsum) when mining - approximately 20% chance for 100-150 damage at range below 5km. Mining Drones may be destroyed by the blast. If they have ore on them it will also be destroyed and you will not be able to complete the mission until it re-spawns after the next downtime.

| Mining Polygypsum |
|---|
| Polygypsum is widely considered worthless because of the dangers associated with storing and reprocessing it. As a result, you won't find this ore on the market. In fact, for this reason, most sensor manufacturers don't even bother putting it as a unique entry in the computers when they install standard ship scanners.
If you're having trouble finding the correct ore at the mission location, you can right-click the "Polygypsum" icon in your mission's Journal entry and select "Add to Overview." |
