Become the Crisis
For the first time, a prototype mining ship was being tested within the Roche system. An asteroid, unclaimed by anyone, had been determined through metal samples to have a significant amount of Phrik in it. It was for this reason that the mining vessel was being used - if it could successfully work with an asteroid, it would be suitable for full scale production.
The vessel, with Vitor Imperieuse on board, soon ground to a halt several hundred meters from the rock. It was decently sized, but its mass did not in any way affect the local gravitational field of the asteroids. Nav buoys were placed around it, designating it as Emeritus property while the vessel began to engage the surface of the rock with focused bursts of composite beam fire, gouging out chunks of rock from the asteroid's surface. Soon it would be time to test the ore's purity.
