The Other Asteroid Mining Guys
"So lemme get this straight - there's already an outfit up there mining asteroids, and doing pretty good, and you want to what?"
"Sparky.. I wanna BUILD SHIT. Rockhounds is a bunch of cool cats, man, but they turn out spaceships made out of asteroids.. BORING! We're gonna eat asteroids-"
From the kitchen "AND SHIT GIRDERS!"
"Exactly! Raven, while you're in there, can you grab a pack of smokes from the freezer?"
And thus, Hephaestus was born. We mine asteroids and produce structural metals of all shapes and sizes, raw stock, tooling, custom work, and anything to-order, the weirder the better.
