Mining Rocks: October 2947

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
Out and About
Now, I may have rightly earned myself a reputation for being an unrepentant fan of all things Shubin Interstellar, but believe me when I say that our headquarters on microTech is, in one word, a marvel. Designed by famed architect Rafaelle Wise, the building’s solid foundation and lofty heights are as representational of Shubin Interstellar’s aspirations as they are beautiful. That is why I am so pleased to announce that we are expanding our Digging Deeper training program. Starting next fiscal quarter, twice as many employees will have an opportunity to come to microTech and participate in advanced training across several key disciplines. Please contact your local Employee Resources coordinator to find out more about applying.
But as much as I love our headquarters, what may surprise many of you is just how little time I get to spend there throughout the course of the fiscal year.
Shubin Interstellar as a company exists well beyond the walls of our corporate headquarters. For close to two centuries now, the extraction and processing of raw materials has continued to be a major focus for us. No surprise then that we operate hundreds of mining stations, refineries and depots across the Empire, as well as several terraforming operations, and are considered to be one of the most expansive corporations currently in existence.
To that end, that is why it is so important to me as CEO that I actually get out there to see and experience as much of our day-to-day operations as I can. In 2947 alone, I have visited 34 separate Shubin operations in over 11 systems and gone through a whopping 74 jump points. It is absolutely amazing to not only see firsthand the diversity and variety of our operations, but to realize that no matter where I go, Shubin Interstellar is still one big family.
To those of you I had the privilege of visiting with this year, believe me when I say it was my absolutely pleasure, and to those of you I haven’t met yet, just wait. I’m coming.
From the desk of,
Gavin Arlington, CEO

A closer look at Shubin and Safety
New Simpod Security Drills
We are proud to announce the release of a new suite of simpod training exercises designed to prepare Shubin employees for what to do if they should encounter hostiles during the course of their job. Designed in conjunction with acclaimed game publisher Perigree Press, this series of instructional simulations immerses you in several different scenarios and teaches best practices to ensure that you and your fellow employees survive. While there are several sims that incorporate basic combat training, Shubin Interstellar would like to remind all employees of our “Life Matters More” policy which emphasizes that preserving your safety is always more important than equipment and property.
Platinum Tier Protocol Updates
To go along with our new training exercises, we have also updated our list of sectors which have to follow Platinum Tier Protocols. For those of you unaware, this means that assignments in these sectors can only be undertaken by combat rated vessels or by those accompanied by a Shubin security detail, authorized security contractor or bonded Mercenary Guild member. For a full list of sectors affected, please contact your local Shubin Security office.
MIND YOUR MINERALS
Some interesting facts about the ore around you. This month we look at …
Corundum
A naturally transparent mineral, Corundum is a crystalline form of aluminium oxide that is most commonly known for its gem varieties, Ruby and Sapphire, and can be found in a wide variety of colors.
Due to its transparency, the pure form of Corundum, which is colorless and scratch resistant, is frequently used in the production of scanners, as a gain material in lasers, and as an affordable alternative to diamond-laminate in spacecraft.
One of the hardest naturally occurring minerals, with a 9 on the Mohs scale, Corundum makes an excellent industrial abrasive. It can often be found as a component in polishing compounds, grinders and cutting tools.
The famed ‘Heart of Tamsa’ gemstone is a large 812-carat black star sapphire that was discovered in 2945 by former Shubin employee, Gauge Racine.

Shubin Interstellar can’t do it alone!
Welcome to Northrock Service Group
This month’s featured independent operator is Northrock Service Group, who has recently been approved to provide security for our operations in the Stanton system. Dedicated to sourcing only the most qualified, trained personnel, Northrock has a proven track record of providing the highest level of protection. Already, they have had great success escorting survey vessels safely through the system and they are soon to start patrol routes in the sector. So next time you are in Stanton, make sure to welcome the talented individuals at Northrock to the Shubin family.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
New Growth!
Congratulations to Shubin’s very own Doyle Mizushima for discovering a brand new species of lichen! Doyle noticed a scaly, dark orange growth while completing a subsurface scan on Lorona. A passionate amateur mycologist, Doyle collected a sample and soon realized that he had found something very special. After verifying that the lichen truly was unique, Doyle was granted the honor of naming the new moss. His choice? Lobaria shubina. Seems like the Shubin family really is growing!
Document Retention
To follow up on the company-wide comm sent by Lead Counselor Abigail Soliday on September 28th, please remember that any and all documents, communications, workpapers and files relating to the Dellin Provisional Government of Charon III must be retained and forwarded to the Counselor’s office. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

BOTSCHAFT DES CEO
Unterwegs und unterwegs
Nun, ich habe mir zu Recht den Ruf erworben, ein reueloser Fan aller Dinge zu sein, Shubin Interstellar, aber glaubt mir, wenn ich sage, dass unser Hauptsitz für Mikrotechnologie, kurz gesagt, ein Wunder ist. Das solide Fundament und die hohen Höhen des Gebäudes, das von der berühmten Architektin Rafaelle Wise entworfen wurde, sind ebenso repräsentativ für Shubin Interstellars Bestrebungen wie für ihre Schönheit. Deshalb freue ich mich sehr, Ihnen mitteilen zu können, dass wir unser Ausbildungsprogramm Digging Deeper erweitern. Ab dem nächsten Geschäftsjahresquartal haben doppelt so viele Mitarbeiter die Möglichkeit, zur MicroTech zu kommen und sich über mehrere Schlüsseldisziplinen hinweg weiterzubilden. Bitte kontaktieren Sie Ihren lokalen Koordinator für Mitarbeiterressourcen, um mehr über die Bewerbung zu erfahren.
Aber so sehr ich unsere Zentrale auch liebe, was viele von Ihnen überraschen wird, ist, wie wenig Zeit ich im Laufe des Geschäftsjahres dort verbringen kann.
Shubin Interstellar als Unternehmen existiert weit über die Mauern unserer Unternehmenszentrale hinaus. Seit fast zwei Jahrhunderten ist die Gewinnung und Verarbeitung von Rohstoffen für uns nach wie vor ein Schwerpunkt. Kein Wunder, dass wir Hunderte von Minenstationen, Raffinerien und Depots im gesamten Imperium betreiben, sowie mehrere Terraforming-Betriebe und gelten als eines der expansivsten Unternehmen, das derzeit existiert.
Deshalb ist es mir als CEO so wichtig, dass ich tatsächlich da draußen bin, um so viel von unserem Tagesgeschäft zu sehen und zu erleben wie möglich. Allein im Jahr 2947 habe ich 34 verschiedene Shubin-Operationen in über 11 Systemen besucht und satte 74 Sprungbretter durchlaufen. Es ist absolut erstaunlich, nicht nur die Vielfalt und Vielfalt unserer Aktivitäten aus erster Hand zu sehen, sondern auch zu erkennen, dass Shubin Interstellar, egal wohin ich gehe, immer noch eine große Familie ist.
Zu denen unter euch, mit denen ich das Privileg hatte, dieses Jahr zu besuchen, glaubt mir, wenn ich sage, dass es mir ein absolutes Vergnügen war, und zu denen unter euch, die ich noch nicht getroffen habe, wartet einfach. Ich komme gleich.

Gavin Arlington, Vorstandsvorsitzender

Ein genauerer Blick auf Shubin und Sicherheit
Neue Simpod Sicherheitsübungen
Wir sind stolz darauf, die Veröffentlichung einer neuen Reihe von Simpod-Trainingsübungen bekannt zu geben, die die Shubin-Mitarbeiter darauf vorbereiten sollen, was sie tun können, wenn sie während ihrer Arbeit auf Feinde treffen sollten. Diese Serie von Lehrsimulationen, die in Zusammenarbeit mit dem renommierten Spieleverlag Perigree Press entwickelt wurde, taucht Sie in verschiedene Szenarien ein und vermittelt Best Practices, um sicherzustellen, dass Sie und Ihre Kollegen überleben. Obwohl es mehrere Sims gibt, die eine grundlegende Kampfausbildung beinhalten, möchte Shubin Interstellar alle Mitarbeiter an unsere "Life Matters More"-Richtlinie erinnern, die betont, dass der Schutz Ihrer Sicherheit immer wichtiger ist als Ausrüstung und Eigentum.
Platin Tier Protokoll Updates
Um unsere neuen Trainingsübungen zu ergänzen, haben wir auch unsere Liste der Sektoren aktualisiert, die den Platin-Tier-Protokollen folgen müssen. Für diejenigen unter Ihnen, die es nicht wissen, bedeutet dies, dass Einsätze in diesen Sektoren nur von Kampfschiffen oder von Schubin-Sicherheitskräften, autorisierten Sicherheitsbeauftragten oder Mitgliedern der Söldnergilde durchgeführt werden können. Eine vollständige Liste der betroffenen Sektoren erhalten Sie bei Ihrem lokalen Shubin Security Büro.
ACHTE AUF DEINE MINERALIEN
Einige interessante Fakten über das Erz um dich herum. Diesen Monat schauen wir uns an....
Korund
Korund, ein natürlich transparentes Mineral, ist eine kristalline Form von Aluminiumoxid, die am häufigsten für ihre Edelsteinarten Rubin und Saphir bekannt ist und in einer Vielzahl von Farben vorkommt. Aufgrund ihrer Transparenz wird die reine Form von Korund, die farblos und kratzfest ist, häufig bei der Herstellung von Scannern, als Verstärkungsmaterial in Lasern und als kostengünstige Alternative zum Diamantlaminat in Raumfahrzeugen eingesetzt. Als eines der härtesten natürlich vorkommenden Mineralien mit einer 9 auf der Mohs-Skala ist Korund ein hervorragendes Industrieschleifmittel. Sie findet sich oft als Komponente in Polierpasten, Schleifmaschinen und Schneidwerkzeugen wieder. Der berühmte Edelstein "Heart of Tamsa" ist ein großer 812-karätiger schwarzer Sternsaphir, der 2945 vom ehemaligen Shubin-Mitarbeiter Gauge Racine entdeckt wurde. AUFTRAGNEHMERECKE
Shubin Interstellar kann es nicht allein schaffen!
Willkommen bei der Northrock Service Group
Der in diesem Monat vorgestellte unabhängige Betreiber ist die Northrock Service Group, die kürzlich für die Sicherheit unserer Betriebe im Stanton-System zugelassen wurde. Northrock ist darauf ausgerichtet, nur das qualifizierteste und am besten geschulte Personal zu beschaffen und kann auf eine nachgewiesene Erfolgsgeschichte zurückblicken, die das höchste Schutzniveau bietet. Sie hatten bereits großen Erfolg bei der sicheren Begleitung von Vermessungsschiffen durch das System und werden in Kürze Patrouillenrouten in diesem Sektor starten. Wenn du also das nächste Mal in Stanton bist, solltest du die talentierten Personen in Northrock bei der Shubin-Familie willkommen heißen.
ANKÜNDIGUNGEN
Neues Wachstum!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Shubins eigenen Doyle Mizushima zur Entdeckung einer brandneuen Flechtenart! Doyle bemerkte ein schuppiges, dunkeloranges Wachstum, während sie eine Untergrunduntersuchung von Lorona durchführte. Als leidenschaftlicher Amateurmykologe sammelte Doyle eine Probe und erkannte bald, dass er etwas ganz Besonderes gefunden hatte. Nachdem er überprüft hatte, dass die Flechte wirklich einzigartig war, erhielt Doyle die Ehre, das neue Moos zu benennen. Seine Entscheidung? Lobaria shubina. Scheint so, als ob die Shubin-Familie wirklich wächst!
Aufbewahrung von Dokumenten
Um der unternehmensweiten Verpflichtung nachzukommen, die die leitende Beraterin Abigail Soliday am 28. September geschickt hat, denken Sie bitte daran, dass alle Dokumente, Mitteilungen, Arbeitspapiere und Dateien im Zusammenhang mit der vorläufigen Regierung von Charon III von Dellin aufbewahrt und an das Büro des Beraters weitergeleitet werden müssen. Vielen Dank für Ihre Mitarbeit in dieser Angelegenheit.
