The Omega-7 system is located between the Omega-3 system and the Stuttgart system of Rheinland. This system is buried in the Walker Nebula. There are 3 known corporate bases in this system, and 2 jump gates with trade lane access. The Bounty Hunters Guild are spotted populating the 3 corporate bases.
On the criminal side, the Red Hessians, as well as the Corsairs, populate the system, and use several jump holes that connect to the Omega-11 system and the Omega-5 system to access it from their bases. Since the entire system is covered in a gaseous Walker Nebula cloud, gas pockets and reduced sensor range are the two main dangers in this area. Flying away from marked paths or trade lanes is not recommended.
The system is also populated with a large population of members from the Free Trade Confederacy, former Interspace Commerce and other corporation employees. Encrypted Transmissions have often been intercepted by the Rheinland Military. Attempts to decrypt the transmissions are often futile due to state-of-the-art encryption algorithms, rumored to be developed by a team of former Engineers from Ageira Technologies. The strange nature of the deep space transmissions have become a reason for skepticism of the Rheinland Military.
Recently, the system has become the site of conflict between the Rheinland Military and the Independent Miners Guild, as well as the Colonial Republic, a conflict which grew out of a dispute over Rheinland's territorial claim to the system.

Omega-7 Walker Cloud
- >>>WARNING: NAVIGATIONAL HAZARD<<<
- The Omega-7 region of the Walker Nebula is rich in mineral resources. Explosive gas pockets are scattered through the cloud, making any travel away from Trade Lanes and known mining areas hazardous. Only recently settled, its rich deposits of Cobalt, Silver, and Copper are being exploited by the IMG, Daumann, and Kruger.
|
Gubenfelde Cloud
- A medium-sized pocket within the nebula.
|
Ebersfelde Cloud
- A large pocket within the nebula containing Silver-bearing asteroids and substantial quantities of fuel-rich gas. Kruger Minerals mines large quantities of Silver and processes it at their nearby Elbich Mining Facility. Red Hessian attacks are a constant danger, though, and transports must be well-protected.
|
Furstenfelde Cloud
- A large pocket within the nebula containing Copper, Cobalt, and Silver-bearing asteroids. Daumann Heavy Construction operates the Briesen Mining Facility within the cloud, despite the threat of Corsair attacks.
|
Space Stations
- Freistadt Base is run by the Independent Mining Guild (IMG) to provide support for the mining of Copper, Cobalt, and Silver from nearby asteroid fields. Of course, the IMG asks few questions about where the ore was actually mined, and a few Red Hessians have been known to take advantage of that fact when selling their goods. Gateway Shipping handles most of the cargo runs from Freistadt, while Deep Space Engineering teams and members of the Bounty Hunters Guild are also frequently seen aboard.

Mineable Commodities
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination - Ore is a type of rock that contains minerals such as metals which can be extracted through mining and refined for use. The ores must be processed to extract the metals of interest from the waste rock and from the ore minerals. Many organizations prefer to receive unsmelted ores in order to keep the additional cost of their production and finish within the local economy, as opposed to paying markups to foreign laborers to do the work for them.
