Mineral Report One
A comprehensive journal of scouting operations determining ideal locations for small mining outposts for various minerals. The culmination of sensor data from the homeship and its probes. It was completed over the course of a few years and several experts collaborated to finish it.
In later times, it was required to keep it locked up in a secret place, as several wasteful factions of strip-mining settlers threatened to outprice and crash the mineral market.
Eventually the document was destroyed, intentionally, so it could not be used to sabotage the mines that were then at that point, occupying all the relevant pinned mineral deposit.
Purpose
Finding minerals is no easy matter, and for future generations in a small population, it is prudent to leave a record pointing to all the best locations to mine certain minerals. The authors hoped it could be used for generations and indeed it did, but needed to be destroyed after a few.
