The year is 3200 and the space gold rush has reached its peak. With Earth's resources dwindling, mining corporations had set their sights on the asteroids orbiting between Mars and Jupiter.
Robotic spacecraft extract tons of valuable minerals from these ancient remnants of the Solar System. But obtaining such riches in the cold emptiness of space is not without its dangers.
This is the harsh reality faced by the workers of the Mineralia Company when a violent meteor storm hits their mothership.
With damaged systems and loss of oxygen, they have to abort the emergency mission.

Such is life on the turbulent frontiers of interstellar mining: an adventure of immense riches, but also of great risk.
