Delta Mining Corp. ,or DMC as it is colloquially known, is a mid-sized mining outpost located in the Shadow of the gas giant Tuvalu in the south eastern quadrant of Omicron Delta. Recently acquired by the Phoenix Zoners, it represents the headquarters of the groups trades efforts in the region.

Through exploration of the nearby Tokelau ice field the field valuable deposits of Iridium Ore are exploited and stored on the facility and transported to shipyards and factories across Sirius. Until recently, the base also served as a centralized hub for scientific vessels researching the various space born anomalies found in near-by Omicron Lost.

However, with the growing demand for Iridium Ore, ships from all parts of Sirius had been seeking access to the facility. This soon became overwhelming to the light security presence on the station and docking restrictions were placed on ships without formal trade relations with Phoenix. A solution to this issue was found by opening up a holding area at Athens Station, adjacent to Freeport 11, for non-verified trade vessels to purchase from. The Scientific Data Assay Offices were also moved there to continue to support continued research in the surrounding sectors.

The facility has had a long-standing policy of being open for trade with all non-hostile parties who frequent the region, even prior to the acquisition by Phoenix. While the base itself is lightly armed, it is guarded by the combat wing of the Phoenix Trade Fleet, including a Carrier and Cruiser escort.
