Mineable

A lighter isotope of Helium gas, He3 is an essential component of the H-Fuel used across Sirius. When mixed in equal proportion with Deuterium, the resulting fuel has the advantage of being 'aneutronic' - that is, it does not produce dangerous neutrons that require heavy shielding. Gas Mining companies like the GMG and Samura can charge a premium by delivering the Helium-3 component directly to customers, letting them add their own Deuterium onsite. Known reserves of Helium-3 are in the Crow Nebula of the Sigmas, and the Shiden Cloud in the Hokkaido system.


Buy/Sell Locations

The following bases either sell the item, or buy the item at a non-default price (possibly lower).

Mining Locations

Mining surveys have revealed the following fields for this commodity. Any ship can extract the resource at half the displayed rate, while factions that specialize in these resources can get several times more. Aggressive mining will also cause the drop-rate to decrease.

In addition, the drop rates listed here do not incorporate any faction mining bonuses that may be applicable. With the proper ID, IFF, and mining vessel, your yield may be much higher.
