A relatic isolated system at the [[Tau]]'s edge. It holds on of the 2 old known jump holes to [[Gallia]] In 817 the Council has broken trough the mine field that protects the gallic isolation with a huge fleet of [[Refugees]] from [[Languedoc]] on a search for a new home free from the Gallic Crown. The [[Gallic Royal Navy]] did not need much time to defeat the [[Council]] in [[Languedoc]] first and Orkney second. Just a few days later the Navy started the [[Second Tau War]] and used Orkney as their enterence and last stronghold. Today in 825 AS the navy has taken controll over [[Bretonia]]n Border and Core systems, but [[Anti Gallic Royal Alliance|Alliance]] forces have risen in the [[Taus]] again. Especially [[Crayter]], [[Maltese|Malta]] and the [[Council]] keep on attacking Orkney and the royal supply line to the front in [[Cortez]], [[Magellan]] & [[New London]].

==Notable events==
 
 
 
The Estate negotiated a recognized status with the Bretonian authorities, giving them acknowledged authority and influence within the system. Estate vessels are believed to be en-route to establish a more permanent base of operations.
 
 
 
On November 25 817 A.S., 1704 Manhattan time, a massive explosion was sighted by local Independent
 
Miners Guild patrol in an old mine field. First it was thought that the explosion was an accident. Later, however, several consequent explosions followed. The explosions cleared a wide pass within the mine field that lead to a previously unknown jump hole. From the jump hole, a large fleet of unknown ships came through the passage between the mines and ventured into the clear area of Orkney. [[IMG]] first considered them to be unknown aliens and brought warships from [[Dounby Station]] in case their intentions were hostile. However, very soon [[IMG]] ships were contacted by the newcomers who identified themselves to be representatives of the lost French House, bearing the Latin name of [[Gallia]].
 
 
 
In 818 AS, the [[Gallic Royal Navy]] took possession of the system during their invasion after defeating the Council forces.

A large and mostly unexplored field of rock asteroids. Independent Miners have established a base on the outskirts of the field after the surveys showed presence of minor amounts of copper in the field's asteroids.  A [[Gallic Brigands]] base, [[Dounby Station]], is located within this field.
