Description
Blackice Cluster is a Asteroid Cluster in the Thalas-System within the Olympus Cloud. It is the 2nd celestial body within the system. It is classified as Mining Zone.
Opposed to what its name suggests this dense asteroid field is not made up of ice or any form of frozen liquid. The black semi-reflective crystals, not dissimilar to Obsidian, are the last remains of a planet's cataclysmic destruction. While the details remain a mystery it appears that the energy put out by the explosion was enough to vaporize everything safe for these hyper-resistent crystals.
The discorvery of the Blackice Cluster has prompted countless mining efforts driven by the prospect to develop a new type of impenetrable armor plating, yet have proven fruitless due to the crystals being virtually un-minable.
