Miners used to mine asteroids for resources | Miners used to mine asteroids for resources. After exhausting them, they moved on to lavaland. However, long-range NT scanners have recently found a part of the moon that inexplicably is in the Goldilocks zone, allowing water to exist. Sulphuric toxins flow from the scorched surface of lavaland, causing the environment to be very acidic. Life finds a way, though; many unseen life forms populate the environment, and most are very aggressive. Even though lavaland is a more peaceful destination than jungleland, the rich mineral deposits in jungleland sit right beneath the surface, having been pushed there by more tectonically active parts of the planet. Nanotrasen, known for its general greedy nature, forces miners to work in jungleland, as the relatively higher mineral content correlates directly to higher profits despite higher chances of miners being torn to shreds by local fauna. | ||
