Planet Tangier is a young, terrestrial planet orbiting its sun at a considerable distance. It is a cold world with barely enough atmosphere to support life, still largely burning under its moderately thin crust. The planet has hundreds of active volcanoes and massive earthquakes frequently ravage portions of its surface. The planet has a lot of small, but easily accessible mineral deposits at the surface. Iron, Aluminum and Magnesium are mined in small quantities by the [[Red Hessian]] whenever possible, then sent up to [[Viernheim Base|Viernheim]].

Tangier has been previously surveyed by [[Corsairs]], before suddenly becoming part of [[Hessian]] space after the Casablanca offensive of 811 A.S., after which [[Hessian]] survey expeditions to the planet revealed several abandoned [[Corsair]] mining camps. In 816 A.S. multiple small expeditions were launched to the planet, this time in order to occupy existing and construct new mining facilities. Plans were made to build a docking ring, but with little effect due to shortages of supplies necessary to initiate construction. The mining colonies on Tangier are supplied using small atmospheric shuttles, who bring down food and water, and ship up the raw minerals mined.

Tangier is a dangerous colony to work in. Massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are frequent on the planet, causing many mining camps to be lost. Still, the [[Hessian|Red Hessians]] have little choice, as the raw materials they gather here are desperately needed to construct the new capital warships for their cause. The amount of people on the surface varies, but is generally around 5.000 miners.

By 824 AS, after eight years of difficult work, the docking ring of Planet Tangier became active allowing the population of roughly 5,000 miners to enjoy consistent resupply and potentially open the more stable areas to be further colonised.

Planet Tangier is a young, terrestrial planet orbiting its sun at a considerable distance. It is a cold world with barely enough atmosphere to support life and still largely burning under its moderately thin crust. The planet has hundreds of active volcanoes and massive earthquakes that frequently decimate areas along the planet’s faultlines. The main attraction of Tangier lies in its moderate, but easily accessible mineral deposits of Iron, Aluminum and Magnesium which are mined and sent up to the Viernheim Base for processing.

Tangier had previously been surveyed by the Corsairs before falling under Red Hessian control after the Casablanca offensive of 811 AS. In 816 AS multiple small expeditions were launched to the planet in order to occupy existing and construct new mining facilities with plans made to construct a docking ring in orbit to ease the supplying of Food and Water and the bring up of raw minerals.

By 824 AS, after eight years of difficult work, the docking ring of Planet Tangier became active allowing the population of roughly 5,000 miners to enjoy consistent resupply and potentially open the more stable areas to be further colonised.
