The Mining Guild Settlements are locations on Sirris VI in the Sanctum System, to the Vale system, and the Nephis system, and finally Station Omacron in the Draco Eridanus System. They began from YE 41 to the present YE 42. This page details the standard settlements of the Mining Guild for most livable world's, with some deviations.

in early YE 45 the Mining Guild finished construction of a new mobile station called Station Decacron used by the Mining Guild Contingent.

The Mining Guild operates in Mines typically where they dig and search the subterranean depths to find Ore, ¹⁾ and Gemstones. These locations aren’t always so close to the main settlements ²⁾, that they can easily get on transport, and they’d be home in a second. Sometimes the travel very long and the workers are too exhausted. Because of this, the Mining Guild has created settlements next to these Mines so that there are places for rest and recovery.

Due in part to the need for protecting NDC materials, besides concerns over large predatory animals, the Settlements are walled, for the protection of the Miners, Overseers, and staff.

Typically, Settlements are located in easily defended areas, or areas that can easily be walled such as the Twins springs valley. In that case, the settlements are outside, this was to cut the cost and time on building air technology. Settlements are arrayed in a circle like a clock with the main offices in the middle, followed by Residential areas and recreational areas, including the Mess hall, before the Defense wall.

Those Settlements underground follow the same pattern. In either case, the landing pads have their area above the defense Wall, as these are reserved for supplies coming in, new Miners and Overseers, and also departing Employees. Should the Mining Guild find something new like tech, or something buried, these items are also taken here to be taken back to Obsidian City.

In cold environments, there are Paladin shield pylons arranged around the Settlements with a kind of environmental bubble that covers the entire settlement, along with heating units for warmth, as well as other technology.³⁾

A month after the Mining Guild was formed, they established their first mine in the Twin Springs Valley and after that, seeing how tired their workers get and how most seem to always fall asleep and miss their stops on the transports they started designing a new settlement for their workers to live in when their workdays are over. The thinkers of the Guild came up with something that fit all their requirements, one being able to eat food, safety from predators, and a place to sleep and rest, so they aren’t overworked.

Finally, after what seemed like months of planning, they came up with a standard settlement for their people. Once other Mine locations were picked, they included their new standard settlement in the building process. They expanded with the New Dusk Conclave going to other systems, before being chartered one on a system full of asteroids Draco Eridanus. With new possibilities and new advances in technology, the Mining Guild found they could use techniques to get ice which can be made into water. They knew, of course, that they’d need new technology, and especially for their settlements. They began by developing and purchasing equipment for cold environments to get water.

In this sorting facility, precision machinery categorizes the metal items into proper compartments based on their composition and properties. Once sorted, the metal is then prepared for recycling through a series of smelting processes. The metal is melted down and merged into a molten state, ready to be cast into new forms.

Before entering the molds, however, the molten metal undergoes another round of separation to ensure purity and quality. Any remaining impurities or contaminants are removed, ensuring that the final product meets the highest standards of quality and performance. Once purified, the molten metal is poured into molds, where it cools and solidifies into ingots ready for shipment to the various factories of the New Dusk Conclave or other host nation.

Meanwhile, organic waste, including bodily waste like manure, follows a separate but equally efficient process. Broken electronics are carefully dismantled, with the metal components extracted and sorted alongside other metal items for recycling. The remaining materials, such as plastics and electronic components, are sorted into their respective compartments for recycling or disposal in accordance with environmental regulations.

Through this comprehensive waste management system, the Mining Guild ensures that waste is not simply discarded but repurposed and recycled wherever possible. By harnessing advanced technologies and sustainable practices, the Mining Guild strives to minimize its environmental footprint and contribute to the conservation of natural resources for generations to come.

This ensures that the water provided to settlers is of the highest quality, free from any impurities that could pose a health risk. Additionally, any salt present in the water is separated and diverted to a separate area, where it is repurposed for other applications, ensuring that the drinking water remains pure and palatable.

With access to clean water assured, settlers can enjoy the convenience of flushing toilets and working sinks, essential amenities for maintaining hygiene and sanitation within the settlement. Whether for drinking, cooking, or personal hygiene, settlers can rely on the availability of clean, potable water to meet their daily needs.

In addition to water supply and sanitation, the Mining Guild settlements are equipped with advanced climate control systems that ensure optimal comfort and safety for inhabitants, regardless of environmental conditions. In cold environments, the settlements are protected by heating systems that maintain a comfortable temperature, shielding settlers from the harsh cold and ensuring their well-being even in the depths of winter.

Conversely, in hot environments, the settlements are equipped with state-of-the-art air-conditioning technology that provides relief from the sweltering heat, maintaining a cool and comfortable environment for inhabitants to thrive. These climate control systems are designed to adapt to the specific needs of each settlement, ensuring that settlers can live and work in conditions that are conducive to their health and comfort.

Moreover, the settlements are engineered to accommodate the religious and cultural preferences of their inhabitants, with temperature controls set to levels that allow for modest attire without sacrificing comfort. Whether in the heat of summer or the chill of winter, settlers can adhere to their religious practices and cultural traditions without compromising their well-being or comfort.

In this way, the Mining Guild settlements prioritize the health, safety, and well-being of their inhabitants, providing essential life-support systems and amenities that enable settlers to thrive in even the most challenging environments. Through advanced technology and thoughtful design, these settlements offer a sanctuary where settlers can live, work, and prosper in harmony with their surroundings.

Within the fortified confines of the Mining Guild settlements, the walls stand not only as bastions of defense but also as marvels of engineering ingenuity. Embedded within the stout stone or sturdy metal structures are pylons of advanced technology, their sleek surfaces housing the intricate mechanisms that generate and project barrier shields.

These barrier shields serve as the first line of defense, enveloping the settlement in a shimmering, translucent dome of energy. Powered by the settlement's abundant energy sources—perhaps fueled by geothermal vents or sophisticated fusion reactors—the pylons hum with power as they emit the protective field, creating a barrier that repels projectiles, deflects energy weapons, and shields against the harsh elements of the surrounding environment.

The scope of these barrier shields is expansive, extending high into the air to encompass the entirety of the settlement and its immediate surroundings. Yet, the architects of these defenses have shown foresight in their design, ensuring that the barrier shields are configured to leave the Landing Pads unobstructed. Ships can enter and exit the settlement freely, their trajectories unimpeded by the protective field.

However, this strategic allowance does not compromise the security of the settlement. Cleverly engineered algorithms and sensor arrays monitor the airspace above the Landing Pads, instantly detecting any unauthorized or hostile craft that attempt to breach the settlement's perimeter. Should such a threat be detected, the barrier shields can be swiftly adjusted to close off the Landing Pads, preventing entry or escape until the threat has been neutralized.

In times of peace, the barrier shields serve not only as defenses but also as symbols of the settlement's resilience and technological prowess. They shimmer in the sunlight or glow softly in the moonlight, casting an ethereal aura over the settlement and its surroundings. Yet, beneath their tranquil exterior, they stand ever vigilant, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice to safeguard the lives and livelihoods of those within.

Within the fortified confines of the Mining Guild settlement, formidable defenses stand sentinel against any threat that dares to approach. At the forefront of this defensive arsenal are the S6-TLAC "Cavalry" which are twin linked autocannons, sophisticated weapons engineered for precision and efficiency.

These Autocannons boast a revolutionary design, featuring a twin-barrel alternating system that maximizes firepower while minimizing heat generation. Each barrel fires in rapid succession, unleashing a hail of high-velocity projectiles upon any target foolish enough to venture within range. The alternating firing sequence ensures a constant stream of firepower, allowing the Autocannons to maintain sustained suppressive fire without overheating.

To further enhance their effectiveness, coolant systems are integrated beneath the surface, dissipating excess heat and maintaining optimal operating temperatures. These advanced cooling mechanisms operate with near-silent efficiency, virtually eliminating the Autocannons' thermal signature and rendering them nearly invisible to heat-seeking sensors.

Mounted atop the sturdy walls of the settlement, the Twin Linked Autocannons scan the horizon with keen electronic eyes, their targeting systems calibrated to track and engage any hostile entities detected within their range. Operated by AI defense drones housed within robotic bodies, these formidable weapons are capable of independently identifying and neutralizing threats with deadly accuracy.

In addition to the Twin Linked Autocannons, perimeter turrets dot the landscape, providing additional layers of defense to safeguard the corporation's valuable assets. These automated emplacements bristle with firepower, their sleek forms blending seamlessly into the surrounding terrain as they stand ready to repel any incursion with lethal force.

Together, these integrated defenses form an impenetrable barrier around the Mining Guild settlement, ensuring the safety and security of its inhabitants and resources. With their advanced technology and unwavering vigilance, they stand as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the Mining Guild in protecting its interests against all who would dare to oppose them.

There is room made for 500 Magpie Industrial Shuttles and a 1,000 Stork Personnel Transport.

But at this moment, the Industrial shuttles and Personnel Transports are just loading and offloading.
