Space Oasis

The story follows asteroid miners who endure physical and mental deterioration from prolonged exposure to low gravity, cosmic rays, and isolation while extracting rare ores. Among them, a weary miner notices comrades listed as injured or insane and worries over a friend reduced to childlike mania. Tension rises as a smooth, power-hungry shipping executive tightens corporate control over supplies and freight, exploiting workers and manipulating prices. Allies among the miners plot resistance, weighing survival and solidarity against the company's ruthless tactics, while the narrative explores themes of exploitation, environmental strain, and the human cost of frontier industry.
