'''Deserted Mining Station''' is a site in the [[G&B Mining Fields]] region of the [[Ceto]] system in ''[[Everspace 2]]''. This location has a large asteroid formation with an abandoned station built into the top of it. There is a [[location challenge]] here to blow up a special [[rigged asteroid]], which will reward the player with a [[Mainframe Expansion]] as well as the [[Resources (ES2)|resources]] from the asteroid.

| 3 || Rigged Asteroid || Location challenge. Four explosive charges are needed to fill the sockets on the asteroid. <br>
*One can be easily found on the station, but it is attached. To get it off, shoot a breakable panel below it to reveal a red button. Shooting the button will release the charge.
*The second is also at the station, but is hidden behind another breakable wall - keep an eye out for a blinking light. Alongside this charge is one of two power cores.
*The third is below the station, inside a small opening.
*The last charge is behind a metal wall and pipes built into an asteroid below the rigged asteroid. This one is harder to get to and requires powering up a mining laser to destroy a hardened ore patch blocking the way to get the charge. The laser needs two power cores - one that is found near the second explosive charge, and one that is found near the fourth charge and the wall. Plug the cores into the laser and after a few moments the ore patch will be destroyed (dropping clymouth) revealing an entrance to get the last charge.
*Once all charges are inserted into their sockets on the rigged asteroid, they need to be activated within a 10 second time period (refreshed each activation) to blow up the asteroid, which then drops [[Clygon]] and [[Clygon Cores]] and completes the challenge.

== [[Factions]] ==
*[[G&B Turret (ES2)|G&B Turret]] - despite being abandoned, the station's turrets are still active and will turn hostile if fired upon.
*If the location is revisited, there will be several groups of [[Outlaws (ES2)|Outlaws]].
