Asteroids can be mined and sold to Mining Stations, which are present in most systems. To mine Asteroids, you need to have a ship equipped with at least one Mining Laser, and a Cargo Hold. The Y8 Mining Vessel is a large ship designed specifically for mining, which requires the Master Pilot Certification, and can be received through a quest. There are several different types of Asteroid Resources, and are generally used in the construction of ships and ship components.
