About

Rock 'n Stone Incorporated (often abbreviated as RnSi) was founded on Barrier Gate Station in early 830 A.S. as a single Serenity mining ship piloted by Freelancer Maximus "Max" Newman. As financial constraints tightened due to the blackout in 831 A.S., the company was sold to the IMG and restructured to be a smaller more niche subset of the other IMG subsidiaries.

While many of the other IMG subsidiaries focus on mining the ore and processing it, RnSi focuses more on investigating and sourcing more pure minerals from various fields. They have several geologists on their payroll that investigate the minerals as they are mined by the platforms. The leftovers are then delivered to various locations--including those outside of the IMG themselves--for processing.

The small IMG subsidiary possesses no security teams or combat craft, instead relying on hiring Freelancers to protect their backsides as they investigate the mining fields for more and more pure sources of minerals.

Chances are, if you see RnSi vessels, there is Ore not far away.

Ship Types

Those within RnSi fly a variety of vessels, mostly, the employees stick to the following vessels:

The Hegemon--known within RnSi as a Standalone Asteroid Miner (or SAAM)--is one of the vessels that RnSi utilize to collect resources from deep space. Often seen utilized in the distant systems of Omega-7 and Omega-11 most of all, RnSi also possesses a back stock of older SAAMs for parts or utilization in case the need arises in various mining operations. However, due to the craft's large size, they are normally only utilized in environments where space is not a factor.

While not as versatile as a SAAM, the smaller "Nanga Parbat"--more often referred within certain circles of RnSi as the "Ugly Duckling"--has a larger hold than it's cantankerous cousin and has a smaller footprint due to the lack of more specialized mining equipment. This makes the IMG Transport more suited for tighter quarters. This combined with the crafts uncanny nimble controls, makes the vessel an ideal craft for navigating tight spaces whilst getting the most ore possible.

The Retrofit Explorer is a newer sight within the RnSi. Not as large as a SAAM yet without a generous hold like the Nanga Parbat, the Retrofit makes up for it in being an absolute tank. Normally utilized in environments where danger is a constant companion, this ship comes equipped with shield harmonics which take up a considerable amount of cargo space, making damage taken a brief annoyance, when in a SAAM or Nanga Parbat you might be sucking vacuum.

The Surveyor craft is usually only utilized for one of two reasons. One, doing the task the ship was designed for: surveying. Often Surveyor pilots are sent out to areas of space, searching for new resources to mine. Two, when a transport is near and requires filling. This craft has an onboard piece of equipment that can be deployed for quick mining of minerals which can then be tractored by rotating transports. This craft is not often seen utilized by RnSi, but it is within their fleet..

Headquarters

While RnSi was purchased by IMG, their headquarters remained on Barrier Gate Station due to the proximity of the Cooper fields within the system. As of the writing of this document, due to the financial constraints of building a modular station, there are no plans to entertain the complexities of constructing a headquarters of their own.

Modular Station Restocks

RnSi's chief operational purpose is for investigating purity rates of minerals in various locations. These include Copper, Gold, Niobium, Silver, and Diamonds. However, while the miners will extract a full cargo worth of minerals from various zones, they do not need to keep all of the resources for research purposes. This leads to a surplus of ores which can then be dropped off at various locations. Generally, RnSi employees will only drop off these minerals with in one standard jump distance from the collected resource. Below is a chart of those locations where they are consistently dropping off these resources. This can be added to as time goes on, simply send RnSi a communication to have your base added.

System	Mineral	Base Name	Base Location	Misc
Coronado	Copper	Corporate Shipping Airways	Coronado	Mon & Tues
Coronado	Copper	Starfliers Research Complex	Inverness	Wed & Thurs
Coronado	Copper	Susquehanna Station	Cortez	Fri & Sat
Dublin	Gold	Connacht Depot	Dublin	N/A
Dublin	Gold	Rathmines Refinery	Dublin	Connacht Overflow
Omega-7	Silver	Falster Station	Omega-7	N/A
Omega-11	Uncut Diamonds	Iskra Outpost	Omega-11	N/A
Tau-23	Niobium	BisCris	Tau-23	N/A

Each base is restocked up to 500k worth of credits per day (except for Copper and pending other operations).
