== Description ==
A pirate station built on the largest asteroid in the asteroid field of the Herisiod System.

=== Entering ===
----
Upon trying to enter Zheng Shi for the first time one must '''Submit''' the password '''"Fuck You"''' or ask for help from the crew or '''run'''. Submitting the wrong password results to space battle. You can '''defeat all''' enemies or '''slip in'''. Losing leads to [[Bad_Ends_by_Source#Zheng Shi End|'''bad end''']].
* The password can be obtained from [[Kiro]] after completing her [[Blade#Rescue_Kiro_from_Blueballs|distress call]]
* Calling on [[Paige]] if she is a crewmate will cause her to insult and threaten the harbormaster causing them to grant you access
After entering Zheng Shi [[Captain Steele|Steele]] wil be challenged by [[Urbolg]]. Losing once allows you to try land on the asteroid again and be challenged by him again but losing a second time results in him taking you as his pet ([[Bad_Ends_by_Source#Urbolg_End|'''bad end''']]).

===Advance inside===
----
It is considered a necessity for the player to interact with [[Overseer Maike]] at least once in order to recover the [[Steele Tech Probe|Zheng Shi Data Probe]]. This is because the probe is located in the [[Zheng Shi#Scaffolds|The Scaffolds]] which by default is inaccessible. The only way to get there is to either obtain the [[Spacesuit Helmet]] from her, combine it with the [[Incomplete Spacesuit | incomplete Pirate Spacesuit]] to create the [[Pirate Spacesuit|'''Pirate Spacesuit''']], and [[Excavation_Robot|Spacewalk]] to repair the elevator to [[Zheng Shi#The Forge|The Forge]]. Other space suits are currently '''not accepted.'''

Alternatively, the player can pretend to be a Slave and be sent to the '''Slave Pen''' where they may join a slave chain-gang, be picked out with [[Ardia]] by [[Agrosh]], and taken to [[Zheng Shi#The Forge| The Forge's]] break room. If the player doesn't take the opportunity to join the chain-gang the only option they will have at that point is to fight [[Overseer Maike]] and take the helmet by force. Losing leads to [[Bad_Ends_by_Source#Maike_End|'''bad end''']].

== Places of Interest ==

*Cargo Elevator - Initially inoperable, it connects all four floors. Can be repaired by assembling the [[Pirate Spacesuit]] and Spacewalking from the Airlock.
*Emergency Airlock - Located in the Geddanium Mine.
*The Sidewinder - The ship the whole operation is built around. Located in the Scaffold

*'''[[Minuet]]''' - Galaxy-Class Thief and Femme Fatale

=== Hostiles ===
General Strategy: Most of the enemies found on Zheng Shi are roaming the mines and forge. It is, understandably, very hot and sweaty in these parts of the asteroid not to mention jerry-rigged machinery, and toxic chemicals are distributed all over to catalyze the mining and construction processes. So, the hostiles encountered have taken precautions to keep the cool in and the heat, electricity, and hazard materials out. With the exception of bosses and the [[Mining Robot]], most of the enemies have '''''Massive''''' resistance to burning, electric, and corrosive attacks. But, homeostasis can be disrupted if the player takes advantage of cooling systems with freezing attacks. Just like on [[Tarkus]] mechanical enemies like the Mining Robot, the [[Excavation Robot]], and [[Roz]] can be short circuit-ed using electrical attacks. The weapons that each enemy uses widely vary based on their own class.
* [[Mining Robot]] - Mining Robots working in the [[Zheng Shi#Mines|Mines]]
* [[Bored Jumper]] - [[Laquine]] pirates looking for a fresh sweaty slave to fuck in the mines.
* [[Roz]] - Hostile [[Galotian]] Powersuit driver.
* [[Overseer Maike]] - Overseer of the mining operations on Zheng Shi, located in the pit in the mines.
* [[Excavation_Robot|Excavation Robot]] - Mining Robot working on the outside of the Mines. One time fight while Spacewalking.
* [[Forgehound]] - [[Leithan]] with alpha [[dzaan]]/[[Ausar]] mods, member of the Corana Lords, found guarding the ladder to the scaffolds.
* [[Corona_Flamer|Corona Lord Flamer]] - [[Huskar]] pyromaniac patrolling the forge, member of the Corana Lords.
* [[Agrosh]] - [[Thraggen]] Chief of the forge, located in the break room with [[Ardia]].
* [[Cyberpunk Security Operatives]] - [[Kaithrit]] members of the Cyberpunks found patrolling the forge.
* [[Slyveren Slavebreaker]] - Members of the Star Vipers gang.
* [[Doctor Teyaal]] - Chief Engineer of the construction of ''The Sidewinder'', found in her office on the scaffolds.
* [[Rat Thieves]] - Members of the gang ''Rat's Raiders'' and are potentially hostile NPCs.
* [[Shock Hopper]] - 2nd in command of the Jumper and final boss of the min quest on Zheng Shi.
