| description = Newcastle is a system controlled by [[Bretonia]], with a connection to [[Leeds]] being to only jump gate within the system. The system generates a considerable amount of traffic due to the presence of the [[Lancaster Trade Center]], as well as various mining efforts by the IMG. Recently, [[Planet Carlisle]] has become the focus of a joint effort by [[Planetform, Inc.]] and the Cambridge Reaseach Institute to rid the planet of dangerous bacteria in order to pave the way for future colonization. This has made the Newcastle system the target of the [[Gaian]] terrorist group whom, in addition to the Mollies and the Outcasts, make up the majority of the unlawful forces within the system. Rumors also exist of a large extra-terrestrial complex on the outskirts of the system, although the [[Bretonia Armed Forces]] continues to assure people that such a complex does not exist, and any alien ruins that are found are to be avoided at all costs by civilians.|region

| description = Omega-3 is a border world system located right next to [[Cambridge]]. This system is patrolled by the [[Bretonian Armed Forces]], and occassional patrols from the Red Hessians and Corsairs can be sighted as well. Four bases have been established in this system, with one of them being a Zoner Freeport. The Freeport, Aland Shipyard and the jump gates to [[Cambridge]] and [[Omega-7]] are connected by tradelanes.

<div style="float: right; margin-right: 5%;">{{Thumbmaker|Planet Hartlepool}}</div>

<div style="float: right; margin-right: 4em;">{{Thumbmaker|Cross-Vandermeer Comet}}</div>
: A large, blue gas giant in the Newcastle system, Hartlepool has significant oxygen and hydrogen reserves in the atmosphere, along with small quantities of tritium and helium. The IMG have several gas miners in the atmosphere to harvest the various gases, and they are processed onboard the orbiting IMG refinery of South Shields.
+
: A very large comet, possibly a rogue planetoid, caught in the gravitational well of the Omega 3 star. Initial scans have revealed immense quantities of Cobalt locked under it's icy crust. Due to it's proximity to the star, the comet cannot be mined directly, but the star is slowly eroding the comet. The comet's tail contains small quantities, easily retrievable Cobalt.

+
: A medium-sized field of mixed carbonaceous and ice asteroids. The Daumann Polymer and Hydrocarbon operation of Ruegen has been plagued by repeated Red Hessian attacks.
 
+
<div style="font-size: 90%">
:  From orbit, planet Carlisle looks invitingly hospitable with deep oceans and vast continents, but in reality it is a tropical nightmare. Temperatures at the equator never drop below 60 Celsius. The oceans, however, remain a pleasant 26C in temperature, even quite far to the north and south. The lush greenery seen from orbit turns into dense, humid jungles and rain forest upon closer inspection, and there are several native creatures that consider humans to be good eating. The planet has significant deposits of aluminium, titanium and gold, and radium has been detected, although no mining operations have as yet been established planet-side.
+
:: <b>Location:</b> F/6
 
 
: For many years, scientists from Cambridge have been studying a particularly virulent form of bacteria native to the planet that has proven to successfully infect and kill humans. The bacterium quickly spreads throughout the body and dissolves every internal organ within a matter of hours. This has of course prevented the colonization of the planet, although Cryer researchers onboard Cambridge Research Station say they have created a protein that will target and eliminate the bacterium planet-wide, thus hopefully paving the way for Carlisle's colonization within the near future.

: A small, pock marked moon of the planet Carlisle, Ashington has reasonable amounts of gold deposits located near its south pole, but besides the small automated mining installations placed there by the BMM, there has been no interest in the planetoid whatsoever.
+
: A medium-sized field of mixed carbonaceous and ice asteroids. The second Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing (BMM) Polymer production facility is located here on Douglas Station, though attacks by Corsairs have required BMM to substantially increase security.

: A hot, arid planet with no atmosphere, Middlesbrough nevertheless has significant quantities of raw materials, from titanium and copper to beryllium and silicon. The planet has a considerable amount of volcanic activity, so there have never been any attempts at planet-side settlements. However, the Mollys have automated mining platforms on the surface, although they only ever use the materials onboard the orbiting Belfast Production Facility for their shipbuilding projects, and the goods are virtually never sold to anyone outside of the Mollys.

===[[Freeport 1]]===
 +
: Freeport 1 was built in 738 A.S., by a group of vagrants, wanderers and social outcasts that had left territories of the Houses in order to live beyond the rules and regulations enforced in the core systems. It was the first ever Freeport to be constructed, as the name clearly states, and it quickly gained popularity with the criminals, outlaws and others of a dubious disposition as a place to easily obtain supplies and repair their ships. Most of the criminals who visit Freeport 1 tend to be members of the Mollys or the Corsairs, although the occasional Red Hessian and Gaian are seen onboard.
 +
 
 +
: Over time, however, Freeport 1 has grown, with new cargo modules and habitation decks being constructed until the Freeport was barely recognisable from the small platform it started out as. Small ships are known to be constructed here, sold to both freelancers, criminals and other zoners, and although Bretonia has made irritated noises towards the Freeport, they have as yet left it alone, preferring to put up with the annoyance of criminals docking there to the unknown consequences that might otherwise occur by antagonising the largely peaceful Zoner society.

Additionally, the building site attracted a number of refugees from Holman, South Shields and Hood who were seeking for jobs and safer places to stay. Now, Aland Shipyard has become home for over a thousand Independent Miners who came here from Bretonia and Omega Border Worlds.

: Built at Southampton Shipyard in 809 A.S., the Battleship Ark Royal was immediately sent to the Newcastle system to deter the Mollys from making further assaults against Bretonian corporations and shipping, especially in light of their capture of Belfast Production Facility. After the destruction of the Battleship Leicester, the Bretonia Armed Forces were given strict orders to leave Belfast well alone, but rumours amongst the naval personnel persist that if the Mollys try to capture another station, the Battleship Ark Royal will be moved in along with the Battleship Grimsby to put a stop to it.

: Stationed in orbit of planet Carlisle, Gateshead is a busy trans-shipment point currently owned by the Bretonia Police Authority. From here, police ships patrol the surrounding nebulas, protecting nearby trade lanes from the Outcasts and the Mollys. The police also protect the nearby Lancaster Trade Station from possible attack, although with the recent Molly peace talks, attacks have almost ceased completely. The station also houses numerous Cambridge scientists and Planetform engineers from New London, who are studying planet Carlisle in order to prepare it for colonization, although how long it will be until Carlisle is deemed acceptable for settlement is unknown.

: Lancaster Trade Centre is the heart of stock brokering in Bretonia. Formerly located on New London, the endless Molly and Corsair attacks caused many traders and investors to worry about their safety, which the Bretonia police couldn't guarantee totally. Due to Newcastle's distance from all the major centres of pirate activity, it was considered to be a safer prospect for business deals. Traders from around Sirius come to Lancaster to adjust their stocks, buy from sellers, and sell to the highest bidder. Enormous sums of money pass through the station's airlocks every day, and Gateshead station keeps a close eye on the proceedings to ensure the safety of all concerned.

In recent years, large numbers of police pilots and bounty hunters have also been frequenting the station because of the endless Molly attacks from the nearby Belfast Production Facility. Belfast is officially abandoned, but everyone knows that it was in fact captured by the Mollys many years ago. Borderworld Exports has been trying to get a battleship stationed outside Scarborough for some years now, but with little success, although the Bretonian government did concede some ground, by agreeing to base the Battleship Ark Royal in Newcastle.

: The Battleship Wessex was originally stationed outside the research facility Sunderland when it was first being built, but after many years it was decided that the battleship was unnecessary as the alien ruins were completely lifeless. Shortly after the Nomad War, however, it was decided to station the newly commissioned Battleship Grimsby nearby to reassure the public. Many of the scientists object to having a heavily armed battleship keeping watch over Sunderland; but as they are given no say in the matter it is likely that the Battleship Grimsby will be keeping watch on them for the foreseeable future.

: South Shields Refinery is a huge manufacturing complex orbiting the planet Hartlepool. The Independent Miners Guild was the first to discover the Newcastle system, in mid 588 A.S., and constructed South Shields in 590 A.S., when Bretonian corporations were only just starting to explore Newcastle and evaluate its resources. The refinery mainly purifies water and oxygen from the nearby Galloway Ice Cloud, seperating the hydrocarbon impurities, but it also manufactures a small amount of Deuterium and H-Fuel, using resources mined from the atmosphere of Hartlepool.

: The BMM has been lobbying to drive the independent miners out of the refinery for many years now, but without much success. The Bretonian Government initially refused due to the BMM already having caused the uprising in Dublin that resulted in the formation of the Molly movement, and these days it argues that South Shields makes a good "hostage" to blackmail the IMG with in case the miners openly support Bretonia's enemies, although many believe it is unlikely the IMG will do so.

: The Cape Wrath asteroid was hollowed out in 811 A.S., to help the Outcasts create a solid foothold in Bretonia. They wanted a base to launch attacks against the Gaians and the IMG, while being close to both the IMG base and busy trade routes for supplies. Cape Wrath was constructed using materials and tools smuggled through the Tau 31 jump hole, although this became increasingly difficult after the rising tensions between Bretonia and Kusari forced their smuggling transports to divert ever further afield. The Outcasts are loosely allied with the Mollys and are frequently plagued by Gaian and bounty hunter raids, despite the fact that neither the Gaians nor the bounty hunters have the power to directly destroy Cape Wrath.

: Mull base was created by the Mollys in 772 A.S., shortly after the jump hole from the Chester system was discovered. They used it to launch attacks against the Belfast Production Facility, before taking it over in a daring raid. The base is heavily fortified, and has good trade relations with Arranmore Base in Dublin, from whom Mull gets a lot of its supplies and recruits. The Barrier Nebula was chosen because of its excellent sensor disabling properties, and the large asteroids make it very difficult for the Bretonia Armed Forces to explore in any great detail. Mull base is also the key nuclear weapons manufacturing centre for the Mollys, using plutonium smuggled in from Kusari and the Sigma systems. The Bretonian authorities have tried for years to find Mull, as for obvious reasons they do not like the idea of nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists, but all attempts to find it have so far met with failure.

: Belfast has had a grim and bitter past. Built in 776 A.S., the facility has been mining resources from the crust of the nearby planet Middlesbrough. The Mollys didn't take too kindly to the new trade lane and manufacturing base infringing on their territory, especially with it dangerously close to Mull Base, and started launching attacks against it. Molly agents secretly started applying for and receiving jobs aboard Belfast, ready for the day when they would claim it for their own.
 
 
 
: In 795 A.S., the Mollys struck. They launched an all-out offensive using all of their limited gunboats and most of their heavy fighter craft. They broke out from the nearby barrier nebula and opened fire on Belfast's defence turrets, disabling them. While the battle between the Bretonia police and the Molly fighters raged outside, the Molly undercover agents onboard Belfast moved quickly. Pulling concealed weapons free they turned on their management, slaughtering them and throwing their bodies out of the airlocks. Belfast was theirs.
 
 
 
: With her smelters working at even 60% capacity, the facility can create more than enough materials for the Mollys to construct more components and ships. Shortly after the hostile takeover, the Bretonians attempted to retrieve their lost station, but the Mollys fought hard to keep it. Along with several newly constructed weapon platforms and heavy fighter cover, they drove back the Bretonian forces twice.
 
 
 
: After the loss of their second destroyer and the complete destruction of the Battleship Leicester with all hands lost, the Armed Forces finally admitted defeat. However, they ordered the Battleship Ark Royal to keep an eye on Belfast and to be prepared to counter any renewed hostilities from the Mollys..

The Gaians constantly have to put up with Molly raiding parties, and much of their available resources are often diverted in attempts to prevent the Mollys from finding Skye.

Omega-3 is a border world system located right next to Cambridge. This system is patrolled by the Bretonian Armed Forces, and occassional patrols from the Red Hessians and Corsairs can be sighted as well. Four bases have been established in this system, with one of them being a Zoner Freeport. The Freeport, Aland Shipyard and the jump gates to Cambridge and Omega-7 are connected by tradelanes.

Cross-Vandermeer Comet

Cross-Vandermeer Comet
A very large comet, possibly a rogue planetoid, caught in the gravitational well of the Omega 3 star. Initial scans have revealed immense quantities of Cobalt locked under it's icy crust. Due to it's proximity to the star, the comet cannot be mined directly, but the star is slowly eroding the comet. The comet's tail contains small quantities, easily retrievable Cobalt.

Space Stations

Freeport 1

Freeport 1 was built in 738 A.S., by a group of vagrants, wanderers and social outcasts that had left territories of the Houses in order to live beyond the rules and regulations enforced in the core systems. It was the first ever Freeport to be constructed, as the name clearly states, and it quickly gained popularity with the criminals, outlaws and others of a dubious disposition as a place to easily obtain supplies and repair their ships. Most of the criminals who visit Freeport 1 tend to be members of the Mollys or the Corsairs, although the occasional Red Hessian and Gaian are seen onboard.
Over time, however, Freeport 1 has grown, with new cargo modules and habitation decks being constructed until the Freeport was barely recognisable from the small platform it started out as. Small ships are known to be constructed here, sold to both freelancers, criminals and other zoners, and although Bretonia has made irritated noises towards the Freeport, they have as yet left it alone, preferring to put up with the annoyance of criminals docking there to the unknown consequences that might otherwise occur by antagonising the largely peaceful Zoner society.

Rugen Station was built by Daumann Heavy Construction for the manufacturing of Polymers using the abundant raw materials found in the system. While pirates are always a problem, Daumann's long-running rivalry with the neighboring Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing (BMM) operation on Douglas Station has resulted in more than a few exchanges of weapons fire.

Aland Shipyard

A large station within Wilkes Ice Field, Aland was built in 810-817 A.S. by the Independent Miners Guild. Guild used unoccupied space between two trade lanes to construct their first shipyard capable of building and maintaining large vessels. Additionally, the building site attracted a number of refugees from Holman, South Shields and Hood who were seeking for jobs and safer places to stay. Now, Aland Shipyard has become home for over a thousand Independent Miners who came here from Bretonia and Omega Border Worlds.
