Ministry of Natural Resources
The Ministry of Natural Resources is a key governmental institution within the United Federation of Nations (UFN), responsible for the management, extraction, and sustainable use of the Federation’s vast array of natural resources. From planetary mining operations to deep-space asteroid extraction, the Ministry ensures the responsible utilization of minerals, energy sources, and biological materials to support economic growth and interstellar expansion while balancing ecological concerns.
By working closely with the Ministries of Industry, Commerce, Ecology, and Colonial Development, the Ministry of Natural Resources plays a crucial role in the Federation’s economic infrastructure, ensuring that raw materials are efficiently sourced, distributed, and replenished whenever possible.
The Ministry of Natural Resources is responsible for overseeing all aspects of resource extraction, refinement, and distribution across Federation-controlled space.
Key responsibilities include:
1. Resource Exploration and Extraction
Conducting planetary and deep-space surveys to locate valuable minerals, strategic resources, and energy sources.
Overseeing mining colonies, asteroid mining operations, and planetary extraction sites to ensure efficient and ethical harvesting of resources.
Managing the UFN’s fleet of mining ships, responsible for asteroid harvesting, gas giant resource extraction, and deep-sea mineral collection.
2. Resource Distribution and Management
Coordinating with the Ministry of Industry to supply raw materials for manufacturing, construction, and technological advancements.
Ensuring fair distribution of vital resources to Federation member states, preventing economic disparity between core worlds and frontier colonies.
Establishing strategic resource reserves to safeguard the Federation against shortages, economic crises, or conflicts.
3. Environmental Sustainability and Reclamation
Working with the Ministry of Ecology to minimize environmental damage caused by resource extraction.
Developing terraforming and ecosystem restoration programs to reclaim worlds damaged by over-extraction.
Ensuring that member states adhere to resource sustainability policies that balance industrial demands with ecological preservation.
4. Energy and Strategic Resource Management
Overseeing the extraction of rare and strategic materials, including exotic elements used in starship construction, advanced weapons systems, and energy production.
Regulating the distribution of high-energy resources, such as antimatter, zero-point energy, and dark matter, to ensure safe and controlled usage.
Collaborating with the Ministry of Energy to develop alternative resource solutions and reduce reliance on non-renewable materials.
The Ministry of Natural Resources ensures that the UFN maintains economic stability and industrial supremacy by efficiently harvesting and distributing resources without depleting planetary ecosystems. By enforcing sustainable policies and maintaining a robust strategic reserve, the Ministry guarantees that the Federation remains self-sufficient and capable of supporting its growing population and interstellar ambitions.
Structure
he Ministry is divided into several specialized divisions, each focusing on a different aspect of resource management:
Planetary Resource Extraction Bureau – Oversees mining operations and material refinement on Federation-controlled planets.
Asteroid and Deep-Space Mining Division – Manages orbital mining stations, asteroid belts, and deep-space resource extraction.
Strategic Resource Management Office – Regulates rare and high-value materials for military and scientific applications.
Environmental Reclamation and Sustainability Unit – Develops sustainable mining policies and reclamation programs.
Energy and Alternative Resource Research Bureau – Focuses on developing alternative energy sources and synthetic resource production.
