STANDARD FEATURES
Molecular Furnace
Tractor Beam
6x Landing Platforms (using magnetic platforms to hold shuttles or fighters into place when docking)

ADVANCED SYSTEMS
Advanced HoloNet Communications
Advanced Sensors

Strengths:

• Rapid Mining Process - No need for dependent miners with rigs or hand-tools, Tugboats grab chunks of rock and throw it into the furnace. The furnace pulls the minerals and metals out of the rock.
• Advanced Systems - Long-Range sensors mainly used to track trajectory paths of any spacial anomalies that may force the space station to move, and advanced communications to reach long-range into space

Weaknesses:

• No Defenses - It doesn't even have armor plating, it's purely civilian

Description: QAF-B9 is Galderras first Asteroid Mining Station, the first of its kind to help mine needed materials from space, from Pzobs own backyard. This will help in future endeavors to create a stockpile of resources for later use in construction or production. Its also faster than typical mining standards - using a large molecular furnace, tugboats simply place asteroid pieces into the tractor beams pull, and once inside the materials are pulled from the asteroid rock, which is burned up. If a tugboat or anyone was ever caught in it, it's okay; the tractor beam is fixed, it is slow, and can be shut off like the emergency button at gas stations.

It has living quarters, food areas, and a very small marketplace for local miners to rest at. Typically, tugboats do not use the landing platforms. Only if they need maintenance or repair, as they usually sit in space around the mining station, and a smaller tractor beam is used when necessary to keep it in its place. The Station usually is not near planets, so it typically has its own gravity well, although extremely minor, due to its mass.
