Yela has a very thin oxygen atmosphere. While it is too thin to be breathable, pressure suits can replenish their oxygen supplies by extracting it from the surrounding atmosphere. Yela is the most frigid of the crusader moons. Those bold (or careless) enough to step outside without a spacesuit will be killed instantly by its freezing temperatures. If the cold doesn't kill you, than any of the treacherous crevasses that crisscross the planet might. Cryo-volcanos have been known to erupt unexpectedly from such crevasses, so be wary when flying at low altitudes. Despite all its danger, there is much beauty to be found on Yela, like the underwater caves hidden beneath the moon's crust.

Sector 235
The famous picture of Yela's ring illuminated against the darkened sky was taken here by noted photographer Juliana Aston in 2918. The vista became so connected to her artwork that in 2928 it was officially named 'Aston Ridge' in her honor. Small sized Public shelter to be used in case of emergencies and hazardous weather. For safety reasons, access is prohibited except in emergencies.
Sector 136
The shelter that saved Bastien Nemitz. In 2930, Crusader Industries hired the noted adventurer to promote the beauty and diversity of their moons by hiking around each one and providing daily updates. Following successful journeys around Cellin and Yela, Nemitz failed to upload a daily diary from Yela on June 24th. A search party was organized but failed to find him. Days later, Nemitz contacted Crusader authorities from this shelter. He'd limped here on a shattered ankle suffering during a terrible fall that also destroyed his mobi. After he was rescued, Nemitz recovered and returned to the Talarine Divide shelter to complete his journey around Yela.

Sector 146
Mario Kosso was the first head of Crusader's emergency response unit. Established to provide support and rescue services to those who found themselves in need on Crusader's moons, Kosso lead the response to the team's first distress beacon, which came from this basin. It was named in his honor upon his retirement in 2938.

Sector 136
This shelter was erected in part due to the generous contributions of Ethan Halton's friends and families. The large boulders and rocks that dot the Nakamura Valley have made it a popular destination for unregulated open canopy racers. Sadly, in 2917, amateur racer Ethan Halton, unable to handle the track's successive tight turns, died from injuries sustained during a racing crash. To help ensure that other racers would not share Ethan's fate, in 2918, this emergency shelter was erected.

Benny's Henge is a landing pad with gravity, that has a Stonehenge-like formation of Big Benny's machines set up for no apparent reason in Yela's asteroid belt.
But the best way to understand this site, is to read the journal of his creator. You'll find it in GrimHex, Habitations 1A.

Op - OM3 - S136. OM1: 528.3 - OM3: 154.6 - OM6: 517.3 - Talarine Divide 19.6
Located at 19.6km from the Talarine Divide Shelter, this former mining outpost has been abandoned and is in a severe state of disrepair. The interior is de-pressurized due to the airlock doors being stuck in the open position and all windows having been destroyed. No branding of the original owner/operator remains. The outpost is sometimes used as a delivery dead-drop. Spooky at night.
Outside you can find abandon containers as well as cold storage containers with unknown contents. The outpost has remains powered due to the solar panels on top of the outpost and a broken, or incomplete, satellite dish.
A pick note in the main room confirms it was due for a new one before the incident occurred.
The front door and airlock are open and seemingly broken, however the pressurization system on top of the outpost is still active.
Windows are broken, evidence of a futile attempted repair is seen in the form of traps.
Mining computer is either broken (as the station is still producing enough power to keep most of the lights on) or there isn't enough power to turn them back on. Mining machinery outdoors is also non responsive.

A secret (But famous nonetheless...) unmarked outpost on Yela's, built inside of a crater nestled against a mountain. The outpost contains a lobby with a trade terminal, a storage room, a habitation room and a drug lab.
Jumptown manufactures Alutruciatoxine, SLAM and WiDoW, which can be purchased at the trade terminal. The only commodity accepted for sale is Agricultural & Medical Supplies.
All scums from the infinite and beyond are known to camp out here and shoot at passersby. And even if you don't see ships around... they might be on foot, hidden under the facility, inside or snipping upper hill.
Caution is advised while visiting this location.
Stock : Altruciatoxin, SLAM, WidoW, waste.

Lost in the vast cold ashes of Yela, the Starfarer seems to have been damaged externally as the crash path and the ship parts do not line up. 3 successful escaped pods let us assume that the crew may have flee before the incident. The remaining cargo looks like it has been sorted and the light fixtures may indicates that the scavengers may return. Valuable cargo like ammunition can still be found in the top deck.

This corruption of "Green Imperial HEX", due to system errors, has caught on as the station's new name. GrimHEX was once a bustling habitation exchange, but now exists as the primary outlaw base in the Stanton system. Only half of the station is pressurized. (acronym of Green Imperial Housing Exchange), formerly known as 'Green Imperial', is a base hidden deep in the Yela asteroid belt. His nickname is a amalgam, i.e HEX could stand for his honeycombed (hexagonal) structure. It's also an acronym of Housing Exchange.
Originally built to house workers, it has now fallen under the control of criminals. Like all Housing Exchanges, GrimHEX is built into a hollowed asteroid soon after the system's discovery. It was constructed for mining purposes, but was later abandoned and is now poorly maintained. It's former clients changed and so did the station. The Housing Exchange closed officially in 2938 but is still operated by its new inhabitants. Outlaws, criminals, pirates and lowlifes. Half of the station's corridors are now unpressurized and lack gravity.
The station is currently controlled by outlaws, and it is believed to be used as a base of operations by pirates, although the inhabitants of GrimHEX deny this. In addition to standard landing pads, the asteroid station also contains hangars. Due to its vertical nature, elevators are used to traverse the base. It has a racing course, as well.
