Planet Tangier is a young, terrestrial planet orbiting its sun at a considerable distance. It is a cold world with barely enough atmosphere to support life and still largely burning under its moderately thin crust. The Planet has hundreds of active volcanoes and massive earthquakes that frequently decimate areas along the Planet’s faultlines. The main attraction of Tangier lies in its moderate, but easily accessible mineral deposits of Iron, Aluminum and Magnesium which are mined and sent up to the Viernheim Base for processing.

Tangier had previously been surveyed by the Corsairs before falling under Red Hessian control after the Casablanca offensive of 811 AS. In 816 A.S. multiple small expeditions were launched to the planet in order to occupy existing and construct new mining facilities with plans made to construct a docking ring in orbit to ease the supplying of Food and Water and the bring up of raw minerals.

By 824 AS, after eight years of difficult work, the docking ring of planet Tangier became active, easing the supply of food and water and also drastically expanding the transer of minerals for processing at Viernheim, the planet's orbital processing facility. The population of the small outpost grew as living conditions improved, and colonization of the planet continued in the areas of the planet confirmed most geolitically stable.

In 827 AS, Corsair forces overwhelmed the Red Hessian garrison at Viernheim, only to be driven back by the Coalition Carrier Alvin Katz. The loss of Viernheim left Tangier a much less valuable outpost, and Hessian economic calculus decided against rebuilding the orbital processor at the edge of their supply lines. By mutual agreement the Hessians left administration of the planet to the Coalition, though Hessians still come and go from the outpost, and some of the minerals dug from the planet still fuel the Hessian war machine. For its part, the Coalition intends to capitalize on the sacrifice of the Alvin Katz by expanding colonization of the planet.
