The mining stations of the game Star Trek: Armada have he role of granting access to collected Dilitium to all players. Mining Freighters collect it from Dilithium Moons and transport it to the nearest mining station of the player. This makes the mining stations very often necessarily placed outside of a player's starting base and therefore making them an easy target, as they do not possess any own defenses aside from their shields. A freshly built mining station comes already with one freighter. Another two are required to efficiently mine a moon. Depending on the relative positioning of moon and station even more may be required.
