<label>Coordinates</label> <group> <label>Point of Interest</label> </group> <label>Music</label> </infobox> The Active Mining Site is an aquatic, cavernous biome located under the Rocket Island. It is accessible from the Thermal Spires on the western side of the island, either through a partially-opened door or via a crevice blocked by two magma vents.

Description

The mining site is a mixture of natural, rocky cave systems and man-made shafts mined out by Alterra. The site is littered with technology left by the corporation, most notably Prawn Suits. A lack of aggressive fauna means there is no immediate threat, although players should remain wary of oxygen and lava geysers. <tabber> Data Boxes=

• Alterra Misplaces 1km Capital Ship Aurora

Alterra Misplaces 1km Capital Ship Aurora

<poem>THE INDEPENDENT - Galactic News, Intergalactic Perspective Contact has been lost with the Aurora some 18 months into its journey to install a phasegate in the Ariadne Arm, report inside sources. Alterra launched the Aurora to much fanfare almost two years ago, and recently announced the ship had arrived in the destination solar system. The Aurora has reportedly now missed more than one routine check in. Asked for comment, a spokesperson for Alterra said, 'Communication with ships outside of the phase gate network can take weeks or months in ordinary circumstances, and is commonly interrupted. The Aurora was in good shape and ahead of schedule the last time they checked in, we have no reason to think anything has changed.' Nonetheless our sources emphasize that Alterra cannot yet explain the loss of contact, and given the exceptional value of the ship and its mission they are taking every possible measure to re-establish contact. Shareholders will be watching closely. Keen readers will remember, however, that Alterra's network of directors have a history of leaking scare stories like this to the press, only for the trans-gov to rebound with positive news against the odds. Director's shareholdings and dealings are of course not public information.</poem>

• Aurora Wreckage Located, Survivors Confirmed

Aurora Wreckage Located, Survivors Confirmed

<poem>Alterra has released voice recordings which confirm survivors of the Aurora crash. The transmission came from trade ship Sunbeam, which was passing nearby when it detected their SOS. 'Hey Alterra, we've got one of your birds in the soup over here. Looks like they took *Static* survivors. We're moving in for a closer look.' While the number of survivors is not yet known, nor the true state of the ship, it is now known that she has landed with her hull largely intact, on planet 4546B. Smaller than earth and largely water-bound, it is thought the planet has a breathable atmosphere, and hopes have been raised all around. The Sunbeam is registered as a 5-seater cargo vessel, insufficient to evacuate the crew or cargo of the Aurora, but perhaps enough to assess the situation and reassure shareholders at home that their investment is secure. There is at least a one month delay on transmissions from that region of space. In the meantime Alterra is working on every possible solution, including an innovative idea to transmit the blueprints for a purpose built rocket which could be constructed using materials salvaged from the Aurora, and the planet itself. If the crew could begin their long journey home now the rescue teams could meet them halfway, shaving months off their return. Alterra share prices rose to their quarterly high on the news.</poem>
