        Areas of Interest


        Nebulae

        Ariege Nebula

        The Ariege Nebula is a cluster of dense particulates, primarily hydrogen and is thought to be a nodule of the Hebrides Nebula so prominent in the skies of Bretonia.

        The presence of the Ariege in Roussillon, and Roussillon's distance from the Barrier Nebulae have led cartographers and astronomers to argue that Roussillon should not be categorized as part of Tau. The new cluster would be called Lambda.

        Tarn Ice Field

        The Tarn Ice Field is a cloud of asteroids captured from the Barrier Nebula as the Rousillion system passed through the nebula's reaches long ago. The field is composed of particularly dirty bodies of frozen water, which the cost of refining has made any mining of the field to be prohibitively expensive when compared to other sources. Until recently it was notable due to council traffic plying the route from Rousillion to Tau, but the recent instability that collapsed the Tau-29 hole has left the expanse of the Tarn with little to offer.

        Asteroid Fields

        Agout Asteroid Field

        When the Council, Brigand and Maquis forces first arrived in Roussillon, this asteroid field was the first obstacle they encountered. Frozen pockets of oxygen were quickly marked a navigational hazard. However, as the construction of several space stations and settlement of Toulouse began, that same field became a valuable local source of oxygen, which was scarce in the system due to the toxicity of Toulouse's atmosphere.

        Toulouse Orbital Debris Field

        The Toulouse Orbital Debris Field is a notorious cloud of wreckage in the Roussillon system. The field did not come into being from any one event; rather, it was formed by the gradual accumulation of Royalist, Council, and Maquisard wrecks, as well as the odd Sirian ship that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

        The harsh environment of Roussillon makes any attempts to clean up and develop the Toulouse field nearly impossible. Periodically, explosions rumble through the field as the residual explosives within the amassed wreckage slowly destabilize and spontaneously detonate.

        Both the Maquisards and Royalists regularly patrol the Toulouse field. The cloud not only shields their own vessels from their rivals but also holds potentially coveted weapons and valuable technology for both factions.
