A barren Planet in the Omega 47 system, planet Tangier hangs isolated and alone but has however become an added source of tension between the Corsairs and the Red Hessians in their struggle for control of the the system. With the Hessians construction of Veirnhiem Base in orbit and commencing low level mining operations on the surface the planet has moved more firmly into the Hessian sphere of influence of the sector, although this control can by no means be described as secure and the Hessians try to maintain as vigorous a defence of the area as they can muster.
The planet was once the scene of a colonisation attempt by the Corsairs, although the settlement was known to have failed and was abandoned, attempts by the Corsairs to locate many of the missing colonists were unsuccessful and with no sign of them ever being found the colony and its inhabitants were considered lost. Further attempts at colonisation have been rendered impossible owing to the increased Hessian presence in the system.
