An Asteroid Base is a station built inside a large, hollowed asteroid. They are found in various deep space locations such as nebulae[1]. The Trailblazers update, they are an occasional sight in colonised systems.
Asteroid Bases hold 4 small Landing Pads, 8 medium pads, and 6 large pads. While they rotate like other station types, the rate of rotation is noticeably slower. Available services vary between Asteroid Bases; while all are equipped with a commodities market, refueling, repair, and restock, some may also have a blackmarket, outfitting, and shipyard facilities.
Types
There are 3 types of Asteroid stations. These can be constructed at a planetary ring or asteroid cluster with system colonisation. The services and vendors are similar for all three types.
| Name | Landing pad | Tier | Cost | Description | Image |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asteroid Station (default) |
|
Tier 2 orbital structure (requires a planetary ring or asteroid cluster) | 55,000 to 70,000 commodity units to build it | The standard rock-carved exterior with industrial yellow-themed structures and scaffolding. | 
|
| Ice Asteroid Station | Built in icy rings, featuring a frozen exterior and local ice compositions. | 
| |||
| Metallic Asteroid Station | Built in metallic-rich rings with heavy ore-laden rock exteriors |

Colonisation
Asteroid Bases are Tier 2 in colonisation. They require planetary rings or asteroid clusters for placement. Ring types (rock, metal, ice) will create different base appearances. If selected as the main (first) station, it can be constructed with the following resources delivered to the colony ship within 4 weeks.
| Material | Tons |
|---|---|
| Water | 6436 |
| Copper | 2576 |
| Aluminum | 40220 |
| Food Cartridges | 484 |
| Semiconductors | 322 |
| Power Generators | 130 |
