<h3>Westerwald</h3>
<h3>Westerwald</h3>
The Westerwald cloud is a massive, copper colored nebula, covering the west side of Frankfurt. Bundschuh and Unioners are prolific within the cloud, launching attacks against the Mainz Storage Facility. Military forays into the cloud have also become more frequent in recent times. The government claims that they are searching for a supposed jump hole, but there are rumours that the government is operating a clandestine base within the cloud.  Due to the cloud's utility as a staging ground, the military has instituted measures to keep civilian traffic away from the area. All who enter do so of their own volition and should not expect to find friends within, whether military or otherwise. Proceed at your own risk.<p>
The Westerwald Cloud is a large, copper-hued nebula that covers the western side of Frankfurt. Bundschuh and Unioners frequently launch raids from the cloud. Armed MND convoys are regularly observed entering and leaving the area. Local authorities caution against traversing this region, citing treacherous navigation conditions. Civilian vessels venturing into the cloud are intercepted by MND patrols and compelled to change course.<p>
 
<h3>Sector-9</h3>
<b><font color="red">&gt;&gt;&gt;WARNING: RESTRICTED AREA&lt;&lt;&lt;<p></b></font><p>All information concerning Sector-9 is classified by the MND and the area protected by a minefield. Any unauthorised ships approaching Sector-9 will be nullified without exception or exemption.<p>




<h2>Asteroid Fields</h2>
<h2>Asteroid Fields</h2>


<h3>Sektor-7</h3>
<h3>Halle Debris Field</h3>
<b><font color="red">&gt;&gt;&gt;RESTRICTED&lt;&lt;&lt;<p></b></font><p>"Sector Seven" is a high-security zone deep within the Westerwald, sealed by the Rheinland military with quarantine warnings broadcast towards any ships approaching the minefield.<p> <p>The mines here were laid in a hurry and show irregularities in their distribution. Some gaps are large enough for small vessels to pass through from the outside and the passage to the south is large enough for a whole fleet to pass through within a short space of time. Deeper scans indicate a sensor grid scanning all movement within the minefield. Stationary defences are surprisingly weak, as if the military doesn't expect any intruders to enter the area.<p>
<b><font color="red">&gt;&gt;&gt;WARNING: NAVIGATIONAL HAZARD&lt;&lt;&lt;<p><p></b></font>The Halle Debris field is a dark reminder of the Rheinland Civil War that was fought from 827 to 828 AS. Halle was formed from the wreckage of a number of different battles between Federalist and Imperial forces. In an attempt at reconciliation, ALG was offered a generous contract for battlefield cleanup across Frankfurt. While some initial progress has been made in decontaminating Halle, the process is complicated by the nearby Westerwald which ALG is unwilling to enter, as well as frequent Unioner attacks.<p>
 
<h3>Sector-7</h3>
<b><font color="red">&gt;&gt;&gt;WARNING: RESTRICTED AREA&lt;&lt;&lt;<p></b></font><p>All information concerning Sector-7 is classified by the MND and the area protected by a minefield. Any unauthorised ships approaching Sector-7 will be nullified without exception or exemption.<p>


<h3>Weisserfeld</h3>
<h3>Weisserfeld</h3>
The Weisserfeld is a huge field of rock asteroids covering the entire southern outskirts of the Frankfurt system. Due to it's sheer size, the field has not been fully charted. Hessians often launch raids out of the field, attacking both Mannheim and the lane leading to New Berlin.<p>
A small field of rocky asteroids. The field was never fully charted, with planned expeditions cancelled by the economic crash following the 80-Years War. While Hessians once launched raids on nearby Mannheim Station from the field, these have sharply dropped in recent years. Corsair pirates are often sighted in combat with Red Hessians in the area.<p>


<h3>Taunusfeld</h3>
<h3>Taunusfeld</h3>
A field of bare rock asteroids, this was once a staging area for military operations during the 80-Years War. The field was later abandoned after Rheinland's bitter defeat at the hands of the Gas Miners Guild (GMG).<p> <p>The field has long been suspected to be a primary hideout for the terrorist group known as the Bundschuh, and since the end of the Liberty War returning Military pilots have occasionally conducted reconnaissance operations inside. The large numbers of Bundschuh pilots detected suggest they have a major stake in this territory, but Unioners and Corsairs have been encountered as well.<p> <p>Civilians are advised to keep clear of the field.<p>
A large field of rocky asteroids. The Taunusfeld was extensively mined during earlier centuries, however these operations were abandoned during the 80-Years War after much of Frankfurt's workforce was conscripted. The economic crash following the war ensured mining would never resume. The Rheinland Federal Police believe the Bundschuh originate from the field, though they have so far been unable to locate a base of operations. In recent years, Corsairs have also become a significant threat, launching attacks on nearby Trade Lanes from the field.<p>


<h3>Hausenfeld</h3>
<h3>Hausenfeld</h3>
<b><font color="red">&gt;&gt;&gt;WARNING: NAVIGATIONAL HAZARD&lt;&lt;&lt;<p></b></font> <p>The Hausenfeld's origin is still debated; either a dense collection of rocks split off from the larger Taunusfeld more distant from the star, or split off from the depths of the unexplored Weisserfeld.<p> <p>Exposed to so much stellar radiation skirting the star's corona, it is believed that the aluminum present within the porous rocks has an effect not unlike that of aluminum foil in a old Sol Microwave oven; a brilliant electric lightshow that manifests itself as luminescent orbs scattered amongst the rocks.<p> <p>These disturbances harry sensitive electronics used in scanners; easily repaired, but very capable of hiding anything within the small field's confines.<p>
<b><font color="red">&gt;&gt;&gt;WARNING: NAVIGATIONAL HAZARD&lt;&lt;&lt;<p></b></font> <p>A small field of rocky asteroids, split off from the nearby Weisserfeld. For many years the field was used by the LWB to launch attacks on Fertilizer shipments, however this presence has more recently been entirely displaced by Corsairs and Unioners. Initial surveys indicated mineral rich rocks that react with the radiation from the nearby sun, creating a powerful electromagnetic disturbance in the field. Preliminary mining operations were abandoned with the economic crash following the 80-Years War, with the navigational hazards and criminal activity deterring further corporate exploitation. <p>

    Areas of Interest

    Nebulae

    Westerwald

    The Westerwald Cloud is a large, copper-hued nebula that covers the western side of Frankfurt. Bundschuh and Unioners frequently launch raids from the cloud. Armed MND convoys are regularly observed entering and leaving the area. Local authorities caution against traversing this region, citing treacherous navigation conditions. Civilian vessels venturing into the cloud are intercepted by MND patrols and compelled to change course.

    Sector-9

    >>>WARNING: RESTRICTED AREA<<<

    All information concerning Sector-9 is classified by the MND and the area protected by a minefield. Any unauthorised ships approaching Sector-9 will be nullified without exception or exemption.

    Asteroid Fields

    Halle Debris Field

    >>>WARNING: NAVIGATIONAL HAZARD<<<

    The Halle Debris field is a dark reminder of the Rheinland Civil War that was fought from 827 to 828 AS.

In an attempt at reconciliation, ALG was offered a generous contract for battlefield cleanup across Frankfurt. While some initial progress has been made in decontaminating Halle, the process is complicated by the nearby Westerwald which ALG is unwilling to enter, as well as frequent Unioner attacks.

    Sector-7

    >>>WARNING: RESTRICTED AREA<<<

    All information concerning Sector-7 is classified by the MND and the area protected by a minefield. Any unauthorised ships approaching Sector-7 will be nullified without exception or exemption.

    Weisserfeld

    A small field of rocky asteroids. The field was never fully charted, with planned expeditions cancelled by the economic crash following the 80-Years War. While Hessians once launched raids on nearby Mannheim Station from the field, these have sharply dropped in recent years. Corsair pirates are often sighted in combat with Red Hessians in the area.

    Taunusfeld

    A large field of rocky asteroids. The Taunusfeld was extensively mined during earlier centuries, however these operations were abandoned during the 80-Years War after much of Frankfurt's workforce was conscripted.
