The Picardy system is currently the most distant known inhabited system from the center of the Sirius Sector, and is a part of Gallia's core worlds. Once it had a connection to Maine (System) by a Jump Gate, but the system was destroyed by a super nova around 818 AS. Picardy is the industrial heart of the Gallic Kingdom. It's mining stations and facilitis produce the raw material and fuel for the huge Gallic heavy industrial economy.

Areas of Interest

Nebulae

Nouvion Nebula

A small ice nebula caught in the gravitational pull of planet Montdidier. The jump gate to Ile-de-France is located within the cloud.

Asteroid Fields

Avre Asteroid Field

Avre is a medium-sized asteroid field mainly comprised of rock asteroids. Within the field, a jump hole leading into Burgundy is present. A small part of the field was cleared to build Eplessier Depot, a local outpost of the Maquis.

De Crecy Asteroid Field

The De Crecy asteroid field is the primary source of Bauxite, or Aluminium ore, for all of Gallia. The GMS has been actively mining the field for several centuries from the Guise Mining Facility, located within the center of the field.

Doullens Ice Crystal Field

A relatively small ice crystal field with no economic value. It provides the inhabitants of Saint-Quentin with a pleasant scenic backdrop.

Somme Ice Asteroid Field

A large ice asteroid field in the western end of the Picardy system, the Somme Ice Asteroid field may at one point have been a part of the Barrier, but has since fully condensed into ice asteroids. Gallic Brigand activity is high within the field.
