<figure><img src="/files/d2SA6cMNPikJVUBwSIph" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Mining minerals on the Solar Systems is one of the most important contents in Pandemic Space Combat.

Because without minerals, no energy cells to fly and no materials to craft!\
\
In total there are 400 solar Systems and were created by us randomly! Each solar system contains between 3 and 9 planets.\
There are 5 different rarities of planets and they differ each in size and type!\
\
Rarities:\
🟢 Very CommonType: [HYDROGEN](https://jumpnet.enjinx.io/eth/asset/7040000000000e6b/)\
