Synopsis

Barrier Gate is one of the few and the largest privately owned space stations in Sirius. Freelancer George Tinsley made a name for himself in underworld circles when he discovered the "Barrier Pass", a shortcut between Tau and Liberty space that completely bypasses Bretonia. Knowing full well that his secret would not remain that way for long Tinsley called in favours and invested his entire fortune into having a rock on the edge of the Barrier Ice Field hollowed out and turned into a base. When the IMG workers he had hired finished, Tinsley began to tell his peers about the new passage.

Although retired from freelance piloting Tinsley has become the administrator of Barriers Gate which has grown steadily over last decade. The station is ocupied by people on the run, Bretonian draft dodgers, and refugees. Most of the revenue on the station is generated by smugglers and pirates, although the IMG use the station as refuge from the cold conditions on Pecos.

As Tinsley planned Barrier Gate has become the place where the Outcasts exchange cardimine with the criminals of Liberty, producing astounding profits. Not that his plan hasn't been without its problems. Tinsley is constantly fighting subtle attempts to take over the station from the Rogues, Junkers and the Outcasts themselves. In addition, the publication of the Barrier Pass and the new station earned Tinsley several large bounties from Molly gangs who have lost most of their Cardamine smuggling business.
