A lot of these system pages are outdated, Space's nav map may be better. |
Sigma 13 is a Border World system that lies between Honshu and Frankfurt. This system lies deep within the Crow Nebula, where volatile gas pockets are frequently encountered. During the 80-year war between the Rheinland Military and the Gas Miners Guild (GMG), the GMG lured the Rheinland fleet deep into this system. A massive GMG ambush, compounded by the gas pockets, resulted the total defeat of the Rheinlanders. That being said, lingering outside marked trade lanes is not recommended.

During the Eighty Years War between Rheinland and the Gas Miners Guild, huge battles were fought across the entire Sigma-13 system and there were even occasional skirmishes between the two sides within the Frankfurt system itself. The war came to a climax in 668 A.S. at the Battle of the Yanagi Cloud, when the entire Rheinland Imperial Navy was ambushed and destroyed in a battle that lasted a mere 42 minutes. The only surviving battleship was the heavily damaged Westfalen, which managed to flee back to the New Berlin system through an unstable jump hole, covered by a few remaining fighters.
With 11 battleships, 24 cruisers and countless fighters destroyed, along with over 17,000 personnel dead or missing in action, the Rheinland Navy had effectively been destroyed. The government of Rheinland were forced into seeking peace negotiations with the Gas Miners Guild, who could barely contain their delight with their decisive victory. As a result, the government were forced to pay enormous sums of money in reparations, and recognise the Sigma systems as the sovereign territory of the Gas Miners Guild. Rheinland was almost completely bankrupted, as were Kruger Minerals, which had to empty its own coffers as punishment for its own part in the ill-advised war.
The wreckage of that final battle remained in the cloud for over a century, a painful reminder of the Rheinland Military's (formerly the Rheinland Imperial Navy) humiliating defeat at the hands of the Gas Miners Guild. In 792 A.S., however, ALG Waste Disposal was contracted by the GMG to begin the cleanup operations of the Yanagi Cloud debris. ALG soon found that the Junkers had already moved into the area and had constructed Yanagi Depot, looting the choicest bits of wreckage for themselves. Although the Junkers were less concerned with the removal of bodies for burial than the looting and salvaging of wrecks, ALG decided to hire them to clean up the more dangerous wrecks, many of which had damaged reactor cores leaking heavily radioactive waste into the clouds.
Pressured continually by the Rheinland government and the GMG to clean up the mess faster, ALG eventually declared the Yanagi Cloud completely free of any salvageable wrecks in 814 A.S., citing that all remaining debris in the Yanagi Cloud consists mainly of human bodies, wrecked hull panels, various broken bits of un-repairable weapons and corroded proximity mines that remained armed. The Yanagi Cloud is expected to be completely cleared around 824 A.S.
