Silicon Mines are build around small asteroids which are analysed before for their richness in silicon minerals. The mineral is usually found just below the surface. It is mined by using an open-cast technology where the surface of the asteroid is literally scraped away by great land moving machines, revealing the rich bands of silicon beneath. These are then dug and collected by specialised prospector robots. The Silicon is processed into thin wafers that provide the raw materials for the manufacture of many technical products.

This station only has interior docks, and cannot dock large ships.
This station can be purchased in a Federal Argon Shipyard for 182754 credits.
