A lot of these system pages are outdated, Space's nav map may be better. |
Relatively uncharted and unexplored system. Connected to the Gaian controlled system of Lewis and war-torn Tau-23. A path to Gallia was established by The Council in the Northern minefield in 817 AS. This system is now under the control of the Gallic Royal Navy after the invasion with frequent patrols.

Notable events
The Estate negotiated a recognized status with the Bretonian authorities, giving them acknowledged authority and influence within the system. Estate vessels are believed to be en-route to establish a more permanent base of operations.
On November 25 817 A.S., 1704 Manhattan time, a massive explosion was sighted by local Independent Miners Guild patrol in an old mine field. First it was thought that the explosion was an accident. Later, however, several consequent explosions followed. The explosions cleared a wide pass within the mine field that lead to a previously unknown jump hole. From the jump hole, a large fleet of unknown ships came through the passage between the mines and ventured into the clear area of Orkney. IMG first considered them to be unknown aliens and brought warships from Dounby Station in case their intentions were hostile. However, very soon IMG ships were contacted by the newcomers who identified themselves to be representatives of the lost French House, bearing the Latin name of Gallia.
In 818 AS, the Gallic Royal Navy took possession of the system during their invasion after defeating the Council forces.
Asteroid Fields
Westray Asteroid Field
A large and mostly unexplored field of rock asteroids. Independent Miners have established a base on the outskirts of the field after the surveys showed presence of minor amounts of copper in the field's asteroids. An IMG base, Dounby Station, is located within this field.
Stronsay Asteroid Field
A medium sized field of planetary fragments that is used by IMG to extract certain valuable resources. Exact nature of their operations is unknown.
A small Outcast base is rumored to be located within this field.
