00: Prep & Arrival
Navigate to the Nyx System & setup in Levski or a People’s Service Station. Monitor the Mobiglass “Ship Mining” tab for relevant contracts. Speed is critical; these contracts will be scarce on release as there is a limited number of them available.
Before deploying to the QV Breaker Stations, be aware that there are two distinct versions of the Rock Breaker contract. Choose your deployment strategy carefully.
Exclusive Contract
- Entry Cost: 850,000 aUEC
- Environment: Normally strictly PvE
- Yield: Lower material quality
- Security: Facility interiors are secure. Be warned: The exterior grounds outside the station may still experience PvP.
Shared Contract
- Entry Cost: 175,000 aUEC
- Environment: Unrestricted PvPvE Contested Zone
- Yield: High material quality
- Security: At least 5 groups can compete for resources. Expect hostile player contact anywhere on site.
The facility is extremely cold in certain areas. Bring Heavy Armor or specialized temperature-resistant armor (Pembroke or Morozov sets). For combat I highly recommend the Ripper SMG and be sure to grab ammo. Armor and weapons can be bought at Levski.
You will need a Multitool equipped with Mining, Salvage, and Tractor Beam attachments as you will need all 3. Alternatively, if deploying with a squad, consider having a mix of dedicated full size MaxLift tractor beams and Cambio SRT salvage tools across the team for maximum efficiency.
Bring at least 10 fuses (mandatory) to restore localized power to doors, along with Medpens (Hemozal) and medical supplies of your choosing to survive intense engagements.
Bring Prospector/Mole mining ships to collect the materials once the fracture sequence is complete. You will also need an Apollo/Med-Ursa ship with medical facilities as there will be a lot of combat.

ONCE GEARED UP, DEPLOY TO THE FACILITY TO BEGIN PHASE 01
01: Power & Material Collection
Begin your operation on the facility floor. You must secure power and extract raw Sadaryx material before proceeding to the rest of the facility. Land behind the large rock within the locations ring as shown. The pads are just below the dish like structure.
Ensure you are set to the ships medical bed and enter the airlock by the pads. Inside is a small space, use corner elevators to reach Power Core level.
Nodes, loot, and capacitors are often hidden behind new environmental obstacles. Clear the room of Valakkar guards before switching from weapons to your Multitool.
Locate the derelict 4-legged yellow mining robots scattered around the Power Core Area & Harvest their capacitors and manually install them at the central Power Core in front of the elevator when you first arrive. This section is broken into Sector 1 & 2. I have provided a list of the mining robot locations below by sector.
Sector 1
Sector 2
Extract 12 units of material from the light grey deposits with red veins around the facility. These are typically located in designated mining locations with mining equipment, behind destructible ice walls (Handheld Mining Tool: Shatter destructible ice walls with full power), and behind broken doors (Salvage Tool: Repair broken door panels via tanks below red lights).
You must collect exactly 12 Units to progress. Each node produces at least 2 units. Nodes are guarded by Valakkar often times in cramped spaces. Clear the room before switching from weapon to Multitool.
ONCE COMPLETE, BOARD THE TRAM TO OPERATIONS
02: Operations Systems Reset
Board the tram to access the Operations facility. A full Facility Reset is mandatory to expose the randomized codes for Refractors A, B, and C. Codes will not appear until the reset is complete.
Enter the Airlock leading to the one building on the platform, & access the primary console in Operations room to initiate the Facility Reset sequence by hitting the button shown below.
Locate three distinct Refractor Codes to unlock and align the laser refractors. Randomized Code Locations:
- Power Core: Bridge below capacitor turn-in.
- Operations: Right of Reset Button by server rack.
- Storage: Inside sector (Visit via Laser section).
Log them below for use in Phase 04.
03: Storage & Beam Catalysts
Use the Tram on the ring to reach the Laser Floor. Clear hostiles and board the trolley to the High-Risk Storage Section. Secure the 4 Beam Catalysts and transport them to the laser.
Move through the Laser Floor and clear enemies before boarding the trolley to enter the Storage area. Ensure you are heavily armed.
Enter the facility, fight your way to the opposite side of the room from the tram, and take the stairs up to the control room for the storage area. Access the room opposite the trolley station; hit the button on the screen and release catalysts via terminal. Grab them with a tractor beam, load all 4 catalysts onto the trolley using tractor beam, and move them back to the trams.
Ride the trolley back to the main Laser Assembly station. Tractor beam catalysts from trolley, and physically slot all 4 into the side ports of the main laser housing.
04: Craft Lenses & Entering Codes
Fabricate lenses using the ore from Phase 02. Board the external tram and visit Refractors A, B, and C to input codes from Phase 03.
Lens bay is up stairs on the opposite side of the laser from the trolley to the storage area from earlier. Consumes 4 Sadaryx ore per lens. Craft 3x Lenses; slot into the array numbered 1 through 3 at the front of the laser. You insert the material via prompts within the hopper to the right of the fabricator, it practically works like placing a fuse within a door. Once 4 units of material are Sadaryx are placed, hit the button on the screen to activate the unit.
Board the External Tram. Visit Refractors A, B, and C via tram navigation screen.
Enter codes from Phase 03 into terminals. Each Refractor unit has two terminals to enter the code on either side, the screen will confirm its working and turn green to confirm acceptance. Refractors will normally extend outward, exposing the refractor head.
05: Final Check and Mine
Verify all green status. Initiate the fracture event. Extraction of unstable material is the final goal.
Control Room is at the back of the laser. Check the main display to assure all 3 refractors are aligned, all 3 lenses are in, and all 4 catalysts are loaded. UI must show GREEN 100% status for best ore return. Partial Completion is possible, if you can hit the button you can fire the laser. However lower percentages ensures worse returns from the final rock break.
Hit Laser Control Ignition Button. Laser fires and breaches rock face.
Once the laser stops firing, fly ships into fracture hole.
