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 Icon skillbook2.png 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.

Explosion message
As a mining laser strikes, a massive explosion issues from the asteroid.
