Ashen Ore Cloud
Overview
The Ashen Ore Cloud is an asteroid and dust belt in the outer Khesret system, past Brass Vein and near the colonization ship graveyard. Prospectors and survey guilds work overlapping mineral claims marked by beacons. Concord salvage tugs sometimes cut through the cloud on the way to the graveyard. Nobody lives here; crews mine it and leave.
