One of the newest installations owned by [[Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing]], Birmingham mines the abundant resources found in the [[Manchester]] system in both the Birmingham and North Sheffield Asteroid Fields. Attacks from the [[Gaians]] aren't uncommon, due to Birmingham's supplying of [[Planetform Inc.]] for various terraforming projects, most notably the [[Planet Atka]] terraforming operation in the [[Hudson]] system. Aside from mining [[Hydrocarbons|Hydrocarbon]] deposits, Birmingham has been selected by the BMM to produce [[MOX]] fuel for the war effort against [[Gallia]], using uranium mined largely depleted fields in [[New London]].

Prior to its destruction in the Gallic offensive of 825, Birmingham was a sizable ice processing facility run by BMM. With the war's end, Birmingham was the first destroyed station brought back into service, a symbol of the Bretonian people's recovery after over a decade of war and loss. With the Edinburgh system under Enclave occupation and the terraforming project on Planet Ayr halted, the Bretonian Government began to look for alternatives. After careful consideration, Wight was chosen and the newly reconstructed Birmingham Station was handed to Planetform, Inc. to serve as a base for the terraforming project. Birmingham also continues to serve it's pre-war purpose, processing, storing, and transporting Methane, CO2, and Hydrocarbons mined from the nearby ice asteroids. The bulk of Birmingham's output is earmarked for the Wight Terraforming Project, though excess production is often sold to customers in Bretonia and Liberty to generate much-needed revenue.
