Editing Contract (section)

=== Mining contract ===
Tilium is used to create the [[FTL Charge]]s for evacuation ships to travel away from the void. The [[Ore#Tilium Ore|Tilium Ore]] must be mined from an asteroid belt and, in some cases, smelted into [[Tilium Crystals]]. The Tilium Ore or Tilium Crystals must then be taken to a trading post for delivery via cargo shuttle.

Asteroid belts may contain hostiles or be in the path of a meteor shower, requiring ship defenses to perform the mining successfully. It is a good idea to review the available ''Combat'' contracts to see if any are in the same system, as that may indicate the level of hostile activity to expect.
