Asteroid Materials and Mining
Most of the asteroids commonly encountered typically contain multiple kinds of useful ores. All major factions conduct mining on asteroids for raw materials used in the construction of ships, habitats and production of industrial machines and equipment. The post-Solar Event economy is thus dependent on large scale mining operations on asteroids within our Solar System. Although large proportions of the asteroid mass are just some kind of granite or limestone, which are of no economic and industrial use, you can find veins of various ores and even precious materials within. Some of the ores found on asteroids may include Iron, Silicon, Nickel, Cobalt, Magnesium, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Uranium and others.
