Strategic Value
Ceres represents a major stepping stone between the inner and outer Solar System. Its water ice resources are valuable for fuel production and life support, while its position in the asteroid belt makes it an excellent base for accessing the abundant mineral resources in the region. As the largest body in the asteroid belt, establishing control over Ceres provides strategic advantages for operations throughout this resource-rich zone.
