Now that you're part of the Korolev family, it's time to put some real work in. Korolev would send down its own teams to retrieve resources, but the planet's status as "Extremely Hazardous to Life" makes that slightly illegal. Plus, what kind of person would be crazy enough to go down there, anyway?

Veltecite fuels Prospect Station's power generators, foundries, engines, and is its main export. The few mineral deposits exposed to the surface can generally be found near water, but tracking one down can be time consuming, and dangerous. Wouldn't it be nice to have an easier and faster way to get to it? Fortunately Korolev has a few techs working on just the thing.

All those ships and stations Korolev is known for? Titan Ore. It's as strong as it is precious, and also notoriously hard to find. Help Korolev out to gain access to a new Scanner Attachement for it!

Stable Letium? It's an important discovery; the compound has so far only been collected as a volatile, quickly decaying gas, and it's not exactly safe to handle. What little has been collected so far revolutionized Veltecite refining, having a stable source of both would be massive... for Korolev's profits. Definitely worth investigating!

Time to build a machine capable of safely (well, relatively) extracting and processing Flaked Letium from the surface. Fortunately Korolev used to operate Mobile Mining Platforms, giant laser drills that would float through the peaceful skies of Fortuna III in search of mineral veins to exploit.
