It is not known for certain when Gleize was established, but it is most probable that the first hallways of the base were dug out and pressurized in about 380 AGS. Like many asteroid bases, it was expanded without much planning for several hundreds of years, and currently the base is rather hard to navigate. Yet few outsiders get a chance to venture deep into Gleize's hallways. Corse consider this base to be their own safe haven where visitors are not welcomed, and guests are mostly limited to the few common areas around the docking ports.

Planetary Bodies

Planet Lyon

Planet Lyon
Lyon is a planet in many ways similar to Orleans. Its discovery in 119 AGS raised questions about the possibility of early sentient interference, in order to introduce similar carbon life forms and similar climatic conditions on those planets. Despite the fact that Lyon, New Paris and Orleans are located only several light years away from each other, and all proved habitable for humans without any terraforming, no remnant of alien presence was found on the planet.
Lyon is different compared to the aforementioned planets, here life has taken longer to evolve within the same time frame. The planet is dominated by a class of species very similar to Earth mammals. They have significant differences related to warmer temperatures, and living in Pinophyta (Pine-like) forests at most latitudes. Most Lyon animals are relatively small, with the largest being not much larger than a human. Domestic cows are currently the heaviest terrestrial animals present on the planet. Lyon is one of the most lucrative places for hunting in Gallia. Animals are abundant, not threatened by pollution or overpopulation, and hunting is allowed almost everywhere, with licenses forming a notable amount of income for local communities.
Colonization of Lyon started in 286 AGS. It was a well-prepared enterprise that allowed millions of people to transfer to the planet during the initial years of colonization. Population grew steadily, and in 730 AGS nearly 800 million people lived on Lyon, making it the third most populated planet in Gallic space. The population growth has been slowing down during the last 80 years due to somewhat high unemployment rates around the planet, and nowadays it is projected that the population will start declining in the next 10 or 20 years if the trend continues. Lyon does not possess significant heavy industry. Most of the planet's economy is agriculture and light industry, as well as the extraction and processing of oil.

Diameter: 12,910 km
Mass: 6.07 x 10e24 kg
Terrain: Terrestrial
Temperature: -55°C to 85°C
Escape Velocity: 11.47 km/sec

Planet Lyon, Presqu'ile

Planet Lyon, Presqu'ile
Presqu'ile is a major docking and port area where most cargo shipments to and from Planet Lyon are commonly processed. The Presqu'ile urban area is also located not far from the planet's primary underwater oil deposits, making this place one of the sources of cheap oil in Gallic space.
Location: E/3
Diameter: 12,910 km
Mass: 6.07 x 10e24 kg
Terrain: Terrestrial
Temperature: -55°C to 85°C
Escape Velocity: 11.47 km/sec

Planet Lyon, Croix-Rousse

Planet Lyon, Croix-Rousse
With Presqu'ile mainly used for cargo shipments, Croix-Rousse is the primary civilian space port of Planet Lyon. Most independent shippers, civilian liners, and freelancers use Croix-Rousse as the docking port of choice. The place is also used for exporting diamonds, as well as certain high-tech and medical items.

Diameter: 12,910 km
Mass: 6.07 x 10e24 kg
Terrain: Terrestrial
Temperature: -55°C to 85°C
Escape Velocity: 11.47 km/sec

Planet Riorges

Planet Riorges
Riorges is an average-size gas giant located within the Saone asteroid field. Parts of the field are orbiting the planet at different velocities, and some astronomers describe Saone as an oversized system of rings. The planet itself has a distinct yellow atmosphere due to large amounts of ammonium hydrosulfide and other compounds containing sulfur. As with most gas giants, the planet's atmosphere mainly consists of hydrogen and helium.
Location: B/4
Diameter: 16,598 km
Mass: 1.74 x 10e25 kg
Terrain: N/A
Temperature: N/A
Escape Velocity: 12.86 km/sec

Planet Feurs

Planet Feurs
Feurs is a barren world with significant geological activity. It contains fairly rich deposits of a number of valuable ores. However, high seismic instability rendered establishing a mining colony economically unviable. Feurs has a thin atmosphere consisting mainly of carbon dioxide. No life forms currently exist on the planet.
Location: C/5
Diameter: 4,390 km
Mass: 3.78 x 10e24 kg
Terrain: Barren
Temperature: -86°C to 72°C
Escape Velocity: 5.15 km/sec

Ecully

Ecully
Ecully is a small barren moon of Planet Lyon. Its surface is mostly covered with silicon dioxide, quartz sand. Surprisingly high geological activity smoothes asteroid impact craters, so no large craters can be seen on Ecully's surface.
Location: E/3
Diameter: 1,520 km
Mass: 3.24 x 10e22 kg
Terrain: Barren
Temperature: -160°C to -25°C
Escape Velocity: 1.20 km/sec

Planet Jardin

Planet Jardin
Jardin is a peculiar planet that has an old inactive core, making it virtually lifeless in geological terms. The world once had a thick atmosphere, but had lost it long ago. Currently its atmosphere is very thin, consisting mainly of inert gases that condense to liquid when it gets cold enough. Jardains' surface is almost fully covered with asteroid impact craters. Jardin has two relatively large moons, La Fouilouse and La Ricamarie, with similar geological histories.
Location: D/6
Diameter: 3,518 km
Mass: 7.24 x 10e23 kg
Terrain: Barren
Temperature: -196°C to 40°C
Escape Velocity: 4.01 km/sec

La Fouillouse

La Fouillouse
La Fouillouse is the larger of Jardins' two moons. It is very similar to Jardin both in appearance and internal structure. The surface is covered with multiple asteroid impact craters and mostly consists of silica, alumina, and lime.
Location: D/6
Diameter: 1,890 km
Mass: 3.90 x 10e22 kg
Terrain: Barren
Temperature: -220°C to 45°C
Escape Velocity: 2.10 km/sec

La Ricamarie

La Ricamarie
La Ricamarie is the smallest of Jardin's two moons. It orbits the planet in an orbit with very high inclination. Otherwise the moon is similar to La Fouilouse, lacking any significant geological activity and having only traces of atmosphere.
Location: D/6
Diameter: 990 km
Mass: 1.08 x 10e22 kg
Terrain: Barren
Temperature: -200°C to 40°C
Escape Velocity: 0.97 km/sec

Nebula and Asteroids

Azergues Debris Field

Azergues Debris Field
A debris field left over from the creation of the jump gate to Isle-de-France, and the initial lane to Roanne. Over the years, dumping by the Roanne production facility has contributed to the size of the field.
Location: B/2

Givors Debris Field

Givors Debris Field
Givors debris field is composed of the remnants of shipbuilding activities by Givors Shipyard, as well as debris remaining after the explosion of Givors itself. The shipyard was destroyed in an attack by the Maquis in 665 AGS and has not been reconstructed since then. The field is a spectacular site which is frequently visited by cruise liners and other ships carrying space tourists.
Location: G/3

Forez Ice Asteroid Field

Forez Ice Asteroid Field
A field of ice asteroids located on the outskirts of the Lyonnais system.
Location: C/7

Miribel-Jonarge Asteroid Field

Miribel-Jonarge Asteroid Field
A large field of rock asteroids containing no resources of interest. Unione Corse fighters are often seen at the edge of the field.
Location: D/2

Rhone Nebula

Rhone Nebula
A large and impressive looking nebula composed of mainly partly condensed hydrogen, and helium. The refraction of light from the four stars causes the nebula to glow orange. Tourist liners often pass by this impressive display, however they do so at a safe distance.
Location: G/5

Saone Asteroid Field

Saone Asteroid Field
A spherical field of rock asteroids containing small amounts of Beryllium, which the GMS mines from the nearby Roanne facility. The field slowly orbits the gas giant Riorges.
Location: B/4

Space Stations

Roanne Production Facility

Roanne Production Facility
Roanne facility was initially a prominent mining station built by Gallic Metal Service in 392 AGS. At that time it was the largest and most technologically advanced mining facility in Gallic space. However, the surrounding Saone Asteroid Field did not have as many asteroids with significant ore concentration as GMS researchers anticipated. In 594 AGS, mineable areas of the surrounding field were almost completely depleted, and GMS made a decision to convert Roanne into a large production center with habitats for numerous workers, specialists, and even higher management. The construction was personally overseen by one of the most famed GMS directors, Eugene Arquette, who spent most of his life on the station. After Arquette's death, the class designation of the station was officially changed to his name. Over time, Roanne became the primary off-world headquarters of the Gallic Metal Service. It is a tradition that the chief executive of the company spends at least one third of each year onboard the station, personally overseeing the production process.
There is quite a lot to oversee: Roanne houses several independently operating production plants and has over eight thousand permanent inhabitants. The facility is one of the central hubs of space travel in the Lyonnais system, and the primary producer of superalloys in Gallic space. With Lyonnais being one of the safest systems in Gallic space, the station and its surroundings are rarely threatened by pirates. However, GMS maintains a sizeable defensive fleet in case an attack occurs, and several platoons of Royal Navy Marines are maintained through GMS funding to ensure internal station security in addition to the security personnel of the company.

Luxury Liner Belleville

Luxury Liner Belleville
Luxury Liner Belleville is one of the well-known cruise vessels operated by Bouvet Space Entertainment group. The liners are built by EFL Oil &amp; Machinery in the Laval Shipyard, and the corporation owns and maintains them jointly with Bouvet. EFL also provides security and logistic support for the liner's operations.
Belleville is one of the latest vessels of its class, its first independent flight taking place in 703 AGS. It is most commonly seen in the Lyonnais system, but it occasionally visits Ile-de-France, Orleanais and Berry. The liner is currently stationed within the spectacular Givors Debris Field, not far from the wrecked components of the Givors Shipyard devastated by a Maquis bomb in 665 AGS. The debris that formed the Givors Field partially consists of shipyard parts that floated away after the explosion. Outer parts of the field were formed earlier, when massive ship construction took place in Givors.
Belleville cruises are one of the most popular for upper-class Gallic travellers who prefer the safer environments of the Core Worlds, Lyonnais in particular. For those who prefer more exciting experiences, other cruise routes exist, including a trip into the Border Worlds featuring a "guaranteed pirate attack".

Gleize Depot
Gleize is a Unione Corse base located in the Miribel-Jonar field not far from Planet Lyon. It is one of the most populated bases of the Corse in Gallia, housing more than 7,000 inhabitants. It is not known for certain when Gleize was established, but it is most probable that the first hallways of the base were dug out and pressurized in about 380 AGS. Like many asteroid bases, it was expanded without much planning for several hundreds of years, and currently the base is rather hard to navigate. Yet few outsiders get a chance to venture deep into Gleize's hallways. Corse consider this base to be their own safe haven where visitors are not welcomed, and guests are mostly limited to the few common areas around the docking ports.

Battleship Venissieux

Battleship Venissieux
The Normandie class was designed in the 660s as a versatile battleship capable of both offensive and defensive actions. Since 670 AGS until 710 AGS it was produced in massive numbers by the Royal Navy shipyards, but the battles of the Second Gallic War revealed several critical flaws in the ship's construction. After that, no new Normandie ships were built. However, existing ships were retrofitted to install better power arrays, improved offensive capabilities, and better internal security sensors to prevent capture. Normandie battleships form a bulk of Gallia's Sirius invasion forces, along with more recent and better equipped Richelieu battleships and rearguard Charlemagne battleships.
Battleship Venissieux is one of the Normandie class battleships usually stationed in various regions of Lyon and Orleanais. Its current assignment is guarding Luxury Liner Belleville. According to recent information received by Gallia's internal security department, the Maquis are planning a large-scale terrorist act against the liner.

Montbrison Storage Facility

Montbrison Storage Facility
Montbrison is a relatively large shipping platform built by IDF Shipping in 486 AGS. Montbrison's location was previously occupied by a smaller station, serving as a transit point for shipments to Lyon colonists and Saint-Etienne Space Colony. In about 480 AGS, trade lanes were built around Lyonnais, and a new type of shipping station was necessary. IDF got the contract and built the station in less than eight months.
Montbrison was refurbished several times, the last time in 677 AGS. Unlike some of the other shipping platforms, the amount of cargo handled by this facility did not decline due to the increased fuel capacity of modern transport vessels that usually do not need any refueling points between their port of origin and destination. In the safe environment of Lyonnais, a large share of the local shipments are processed by local companies and independent traders who often use Montbrison to exchange goods and store large amounts of cargo delivered by larger companies. IDF also organized commodity trade on the station, and distributes Mining Machinery to GMS mining facilities around Gallia.

Saint-Etienne Space Colony

Saint-Etienne Space Colony
Saint-Etienne was built in 429 AGS by Tannier Industries as one of the more remote space colonies in Gallic space. Circa 610 AGS, when Tannier was restructured, the site was purchased by Ile-de-France Shipping. Before the IDF transfer, the facility was not prospering. With a capacity of 8,000, it housed less than 3,000 people, and the station was notorious for a high unemployment and poor accomodation standards.
IDF dismissed most of the crew and moved out the inhabitants. The station's structure was renewed and expanded with new habitats. In 619 AGS, Saint-Etienne was re-opened for settlers, becoming one of the more convenient and affordable space settlements in Gallic space. Saint-Etienne lies away from major trade routes and areas of pirate activity, making the colony very safe and calm to live in. The facility does not have notable industrial capacity, but it is almost fully self-sufficient, with hydroponic farms and food production available to serve the colonists' needs. The station also produces a wide array of Luxury Consumer Goods, most of which are exported to other stations and planets by IDF and their partners, allowing the station's residents to enjoy a comfortable middle class income.

Pelussin Base

Pelussin Base
Pelussin Base was constructed within the Rhone Nebula circa 500 AGS. The base is an important outpost of the Brigands in the otherwise calm Lyonnais system. The system is under tight Police security, and instead of being a staging point for pirate raids, the base mostly serves as a black market outpost. This means that most ships coming and going from Pelussin hide within fields and nebulas and avoid contact with Gallic lawful ships.
Pelussin's permanent population is not too large and is estimated to be around 1,500 to 2,000 people. However, the base is one of the primary hubs of the slave trade in Gallia, and it is designed to house a lot more people for limited periods of time. Since the problem of overpopulation is not unfamiliar for Gallia, acquiring Slaves on Gallic planets and some unlawful stations is rarely a challenge. Most Slaves were initially homeless people, drug addicts, and various socially undesirable individuals who were searching for quick and easy earnings. They signed ridiculous (and mostly illegal) contracts that bound them to their employers for dozens of years without an option to quit. After being transported to pirate facilities, the papers they signed served no other purpose than to demonstrate that the Slaves sealed their fate themselves and there wasn't anyone else to blame.
Various kinds of Slaves are in demand for various activities. Good-looking young women, children between 10 and 14, and strong men in their 30s being in the highest demand. Pelussin can usually offer Slaves of any age or sex. If the supplies of the station cannot meet some of the more exotic demands, slavers can usually acquire the necessary selection in a matter of weeks. During the wait, clients may enjoy himself or herself with various recreational options that the station offers, some of them not found anywhere else in Gallia.

Saint-Exupery Space Port

Saint-Exupery Space Port
Saint-Exupery's construction was completed in 551 AGS. It replaced a base named Oullins that previously served as a transit point for some of the shipments going to and from Lyonnais. Over time, the need for a shipping platform in Lyonnais' orbit was no longer present. Bouvet Space Entertainment chose the location to build the off-world base of operations for their cruise liner fleet, and chose Solar Engineering to build and administer the station. Since then, Bouvet's presence was reduced to a necessary minimum, and Solar uses the station for a wide array of services, including short term off-world recreation, ship-to-ship transfers, and storage of valuable or hazardous cargo that is not allowed planetside.
Saint-Exupery appeared in New Paris' news headlines several times when journalists discovered the presence of Brigands and even Maquis onboard the station. Solar Engineering succeeded in discrediting most of those allegations, however. The corporation keeps large parts of the station off-limits for civilians and even for Gallic law enforcement.

Scrap Metal
The rapid industrialization that followed the settlement of the Sirius Sector has resulted in large fields of Scrap Metal, the detritus resulting from extensive manufacturing and mining operations. These debris fields present both a navigational hazard and a potential second-stage resource, so a small cottage industry has sprung up among those who collect scrap metal and resell it at smelting plants.

Beryllium Ore
Ore is a type of rock that contains minerals such as metals which can be extracted through mining and refined for use. The ores must be processed to extract the metals of interest from the waste rock and from the ore minerals. Many organizations prefer to receive unsmelted ores in order to keep the additional cost of their production and finish within the local economy, as opposed to paying markups to foreign laborers to do the work for them.
