Storyline

You start in the main asteroid field. This is an artificially created asteroid field where asteroids have been tractored to form a planar field around the Alpha, Bravo, Gamma and Delta space stations for easier mining, trading and colonization. The Asteroid Belt is huge. Forming artificial fields with a high density of asteroids was a practical political decision in the year 2047 to enable colonization of the Belt. There are several artificial asteroid fields in the Belt. The main field and the ring field have been designated training zones where Ensign-level pilots may practice. The ring field is a smaller asteroid field that is suitable for high-speed training. In the center of the ring field is the blue Ring Station, which is a command station for research, training and habitats.
