Synopsis
Burgundy is the seat of Gallic Royal power in the Gallic Border Worlds, currently containing the only remaining populated planet (Planet Nevers) under Royal control in the region. It also contains Dijon Station, the supply depot for the Gallic Royal Navy's efforts against Council. It also contains connections to two of the Core Worlds systems, as well as Lorraine, Champagne, and Dauphine. The bulk of the fighting between the Gallic Royal Police (and to a lesser extent the Gallic Royal Navy) and the various unlawful groups of Gallia occurs in this system, due in no small part to the commerce traveling from Dijon Station and Planet Nevers.
Areas of Interest
Cote-d'Or Asteroid Field
A far-off asteroid field that remains largely unexplored. The little traffic that it has can be trusted to be shady deals away from prying eyes.
Morvana Asteroid Field
This asteroid field is one of the places the Gallic Royal Navy avoids if at all possible- since the sealing of the Jump Gate at the end of the lanes running past the Morvana Asteroid Field, there is no reason for the area to be patrolled and criminal activity is too high to be kept in check. The Navy does not put too much weight on suspicions of enemy bases within the field, given that anything coming from there would first encounter the Junkers or Battleship Beuvray, and as such any threat they pose is marginal compared with the threat coming from the Nievre.
Nievre Asteroid Field
This field is one of the most heavily traveled asteroid fields in Gallia, after the Lozere Asteroid Field in Languedoc. Containing the Gallic Royal Navy's only route to Lorraine since Council conquered the Champagne system, as well as a substantial presence of Gallic Brigands, this field is also rumored to have been the original base of operations for Council. They have since relocated to Planet Marne, but it is likely that they still possess a forward base in the area. The Nievre Asteroid Field also contains the Saint Remy Nebula, a dense pocket of gas that fleeing ships often disappear into.
Planet Tonnerre
The largest planet known to mankind, Planet Tonnerre is a colossal gas giant surrounded by the largest system of planetary rings in any charted system. It has five moons, and simulations indicate that another two planetoids in the system used to orbit it as well.
