ExpandMission briefing
We need your help right away! We're calling on all ship commanders in this region. A huge asteroid has crashed into one of our stations. The station itself and most of the inhabitants are lost. This asteroid is particularly deadly in that it contains a huge quantity of Augumene, a rare and extremely toxic ore. We need someone to mine out the Augumene so rescue crews can go in there and retrieve the survivors. I've uploaded a bookmark to your People & Places databank; use it to find the crash site and then use a survey scanner to locate the Augumene. Mine it all and bring the ore back to me.

Though the mission agent will request that you bring a survey scanner, it is not required to fit on your ship, as the asteroid will appear in you overview.

As in all mining operations belt rats may randomly spawn.
