Mining Platform 13557 stood as a pivotal deuterium mining hub, strategically situated on an ancient asteroid within the Fat Star System. It existed within one of the darkest, most desolate regions of the system's expansive asteroid belt.

The outpost was staffed entirely by cloned humans, a workforce originally intended to alleviate the burden of conventional human resources. These clones, however, developed beyond their initial design.

They became a secretive legion, renowned for their eerie uniformity and silent efficiency. This unique workforce contributed significantly to the platform's productivity and mystique.

The facility was strategically managed by the enigmatic Mortal Veil, who maintained absolute secrecy regarding its existence. They exerted tight control over the workforce and operations, with stringent security protocols enforced by autonomous drones.

Despite these measures, the Mining Platform was recently destroyed in a catastrophic event. The Red Sun Dominion deployed their devastating Star Killer weapon on the system, obliterating the outpost completely.

Mining Platform 13557 now remains a cold, lifeless husk. It silently orbits a black hole, a desolate monument to its former purpose and ultimate demise.
