# 🥌 Asteroid Exploitation

{% hint style="info" %}
Available in Phase 2 (one month after main launch)
{% endhint %}

The Fragment of Asteroid is a rare drop-off from the PvE quests after the player clears out all the waves of enemies. 

With enough asteroid fragments gathered, the player can construe a complete asteroid and start mining resources from it. Each asteroid contains a different distribution of Commodity Tokens, but the total amount is going to be enormous.

**The player needs to create a special type of ship capable of mining resources from the asteroid: the miner ship.**

Then the player needs to assemble a fleet with miner ships and deploy it to mine the Commodity Tokens from the asteroid.
