Nebulae

Tau-53 Barrier Nebula

The Tau-53 region of the Barrier Nebula is rich in water ice, methane and other hydrocarbons. These key resources have made Tau-53 of high, conflicting, interest to both Kusari and Gallia. Whilst Kusari considers the entire system to be part of their territory, Rishiri, Gallia only recognises a Kusari claim on some parts of the system. As tensions between the two Houses brew, local criminal elements have taken advantage of the political insecurity to further their own gain: Outcast smugglers have been seen peddling Cardamine towards Gallia, and Maquis pilots frequent the lanes, striking from and vanishing into the fog.

Asteroid Fields

Mineable Zone

RAW HYDROCARBONS

Hydrocarbons are a class of organic compounds composed only of hydrogen and carbon molecules, resulting in a wide variety of substances that have important industrial applications. While hydrocarbons naturally occur in a gaseous state almost everywhere in the known universe, frozen deposits present the most easily exploited form of the substance. Hydrocarbon mining is key to the industrialization of the Sirius Sector as it provides the raw materials for the creation of the Ship Hull Panels and Optronics, upon which modern society depends.

Raw Hydrocarbons have not yet undergone cracking or refining, and often contain many valuable compounds that are difficult to chemically replicate.

Rebun Asteroid Field

After a survey, the Rebun Asteroid Field was found to be rich in Raw Hydrocarbons. Samura was quick to capitalise on this, and has set up mining operations across Rebun. Rumours have circulated of GMS vessels being spotted within the field, leading some to believe Gallia has also become interested in mining the Raw Hydrocarbons inside.

Ezo Ice Field

Located in the north of the system, the Ezo Ice Field is known to have a very high presence of Maquis terrorists. Even though the Gallic Navy police the field, attacks on the Lorraine Gate by insurgents are not uncommon.

Karafuto Ice Crystal Field

Within the Karafuto Ice Crystal Field, it would be easy for one to become enamoured by the beauty of the dazzling ice crystals within. However, it is not a safe place for sight-seeing, as Outcasts are known to lurk within, searching for prey to plunder. As Karafuto is largely unexplored, and known to contain many hazardous gas pockets, it has been very difficult for local law enforcement to crack on the criminal activity in the field. Traders are advised to keep clear.
