Mining Rig #29-RN7
The first - and currently only - Phase Matter mining rig captured from the Rikavi Ancients by the Hyperion Federation.
Located on the other side of the Rikavi Interdimensional Portal, the HF suffered many casualties to occupy it, but they now have a Phase Matter income. They have already phased some of their weapons and shields. The mining rig is one of the better defended areas the HF has managed to conquer in the Rikavi dimension. Most of the defences have been Phased, making this site of extreme value to the hyperionites. Some of their starships, including T.S. Sovereign Light and T.S. Boson, have been significantly upgraded with this Phase Matter, typically mined from this mine. This, along with sheer experience, is how those ships excell at combat so greatly. T.S. Cataclysm is only partially Phased due to the scarcity of Phase Matter and the sheer scale of the Cataclysm - Class Star Annihilator. The HF currently lacks understanding of archaeotech enough to Phase any of it properly, so the Sovereign Light - Class Advanced Cruiser still relies mainly on its technology. At the mining rig, hundreds are killed daily to defend the area, but the sheer power of Phase Matter has caused the hyperionites to deem the area too valuable to lose. They do everything they can to reduce their casualties, such as attempting to use remote controlled robots whenever possible but the Rikavi can still fire artillery and cause biological casualties behind hyperionite lines. The battles mean that the HF can recover more Phase Matter from wrecked Rikavi war vehicles however. The entire structure stands at an immense 50 km in height, but despite this it is one of the smaller Phase matter mines out there.

Geography
The mining rig itself is massive, making some entire planets (in normal space) look small. Several biomes exist around the structure, from hot volcanic area to lush forest. There are also some very significant mountains near it.
