 Welcome to Nova-Kemet-- EVN Plugs for Windows
This is as the Women's Council decreed centuries ago, but also out of necessity to escape the grinding heat of the surface.
Kemetans believe that since women are given the gift of creation, that they should be in charge of the planet and everything affixed thereto, but that is all-- once one leaves the atmosphere, their authority is limited, unless you are female, or leave something on the ground.
Involvement in the Rebellion is very costly for Donald Chick; his credit is overextended and he made too many ships for the Rebels.

For those of you who have managed to wander in from the outside, and thus don't have the slightest clue what I am going on about, EV Nova is a really great game by Ambrosia Software.
This is what the EV Nova Bible has to say on the subject of mining: 501-504 are the spïn resource numbers assigned to mini-asteroids for mining.
So after the 50th person in the Nova Webboards desperately trying to describe what kind of asteroids put out opals, I decided it's time someone posted images instead of a description, and all this just grew from there.

Ambrosia Software and ATMOS have heard the cries of the Escape Velocity hordes from the mid and late 90’s and have responded by rebuilding a classic from the ground up as well as raising the stakes.

 IMG Review: Escape Velocity: Nova
This has always been the strength of the Escape Velocity series, and it remains true with Nova- the ability to play the game in whatever manner you choose.
EV: Nova features six major plotlines, each of which is mutually exclusive (which means you will have to start a new game to experience the others; but more on that later) and can potentially change the structure of the galaxy, shifting the balance of power from one galactic power to another.
As soon as you set down on a planet for the first time, you will be greeted by a benevolent stranger who will kindly volunteer to fly around with you for a while and show you, essentially, how to play the game.
