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. Tangier has a lot of small, but easily accessible mineral deposits at the surface. Iron, aluminium and magnesium are mined in small quantities by the Red Hessians whenever possible, then sent up to Viernheim.
Tangier has been previously surveved by Corsairs, before suddenly becoming parts of Hessian space after the Casablanca offensive of 811 A.S., after which Hessian survey expeditions to the planet revealed several abadoned Corsair mining camps. In 816 A.S. multiple small expeditions were launched to the planet, this time in order to occupy existing and contruct 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.
This planet is a dangerous colony to work in. Massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are frequent on Tangier, causing many mining camps to be lost. Still, the 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.
