Cube

In response to the continuing pressure on space to build factories and workthings to labor in them, a new asteroid has been cleared for trading opportunities.

The asteroid's name is apt - it does appear to be roughly cubical in shape, although whether the body is of artificial origin or due to some natural phenomenon is not known. It was first discovered by the Terra Space Mining Corporation, who were delighted to discover the rock held valuable minerals in abundance. They claimed the asteroid and colonized it, building domes on all six sides.

Cube can be reached by navigating S, E, E from the entrance to the asteroid belt, and those with the upgraded navcomp software will be able to reach it using the 'GOTO' command. It has been added to the map of the asteroids which you can view at http://www.ibgames.net/fed2/maps/solmap.html.
