Lorraine System

Lorraine is a system in the Gallic Border Worlds, cut off from the Gallic Royal Navy's area of influence by the Council capture of Champagne, a system that once connected Lorraine to Burgundy. Battleship Epinal is the only vessel of its class still maintained by the Royal Navy in the system. A number of stations operated by both the Gallic Royal Navy and Gallic Royal Police hold one of the connections between the Gallic Border Worlds and Sirius, a Jump Hole leading to Omicron-80 protected by Luneville Guard Station. The Royal Navy cannot reinforce the system without passing through Champagne or using the Jump Hole to Burgundy, but they will not shy from the latter option when it is necessary.

Metz Station is a heavily fortified Royal Police base within the system, acting in conjunction with Battleship Epinal to maintain order in the unprecedented scenario resulting in the sealing of the jump gates to the Gallic Core Worlds. The system also houses a Royal Navy base, Chateau Salins Station, an important defensive station which houses thousands of civilians.

Verdun Base

The Maquis have used a large asteroid in the central area of Le Thillot asteroid field to establish a secret station, Verdun Base. From here, they launch attacks against Royal Navy installations and patrols in the Lorraine system.

The Sarre Nebula harbours the Union Corse installation, Thionville Base. It is rumoured that this station is a part of the Union Corse's efort to reach the Sirian colonies themselves, apparently using Thionville to study the Junkers who operate locally from Lixheim Base

Nebulas

The Toul Nebula

The Sarre Nebula is particularly notorious as the rumoured base of operations for the Unione Corse in the system. Composed of mainly hydrogen and methane gas, it also contains the Sarre Asteroid Field.

The Sarre Nebula

The Toul Nebula is a beautiful celestial body that is often used as a hideout for the Maquis due to its hidden nature. Very few Royal Navy patrols pass through the region and it is not easily picked up by a ship's scanners, nor appears on their map in any great detail. Scanner interference may occur when passing through the Toul Nebula.

Asteroid Fields

The desolate and tightly packed asteroid fields of Longwy and Le Thillot provide perfect staging points for unlawful factions to maintain their attacks against the weakened Royal Navy. It is rumoured that the Maquis in particular stage many of their attacks from these regions.

Artificial Formations

The jumphole to Omicron-80 is surrounded by mines and guarded by a Royal Navy base.

The Luneville Scrap Field surrounds the Luneville Guard Station, bordering Lorraine's mine field, it provided enough incentive for the Junkers to setup Lixheim Base in the vicinity. Lorraine's mine field guards the jumphole to Omicron-80. Reports suggest that a passage exists that leads through the mine field safely that the Junkers have been using. In an effort to contain any would-be Sirian adventurers, the Luneville Guard Station keeps a watchful eye on the jump hole at all times.

Sealed Jump Gate

Sealed Jump Gate

The Lorraine system marks the first line of defense for the Royal Navy against Sirian intrusion from the system of Omicron 80 through a jump hole hidden by a massive mine field which took centuries to build, during which time the Sirians could have easily become aware of Gallia. A Royal Navy base, Luneville Guard Station watches over the exit. The system was an entrance to the Gallic Core Worlds, now the sealed jump gate is impossible to use and is fortified by Royal Navy weapons platforms.
