MiningCamp Station

Miningcamp Station was a station orbiting the planet of the same name. Under the control of the U.N.A.F, it and the miners on the planet are supplied by barges and supply drops by starships.

Miningcamp Mutiny
In 2197 whilst under the command of General Kall, Miningcamp Station and the settlement below was the subject to a mutiny which was only ended by the arrival of U.N.S Hibernia, under Captain Seafort. After a ruse brought some of them aboard, Seafort undocked from the station and then, after arresting the mutineers still onboard, returned before proceeding to open fire on the station prior to a surrender. Although Seafort pardoned most of the mutineers, he executed the one that had killed Midshipman Sandy Wilsky. In addition to Wilsky's death, three passengers had died from the boarding as well as two passengers that had died as a result of decompression after failing to get into suits prior to Hibernia's breakaway.

Fate
Not much is known about what happened to the station afterwards, though it is implied that Kall would be relieved of his command when Seafort explains the circumstances upon his return to Earth. Nothing is known of its activities during the Fish War, but it either was not affected or else was replaced as a Miningcamp Station is mentioned in several later books.
