Planet Tangier is a young, terrestrial planet orbiting it's sun at a considerable distance. It is a cold world with barely enough atmosphere to support life, but still largely burning under it's moderately thin crust. Large quantities of carbon and aluminium have been noted underground, surrounded by large, compressed oxygen pockets. Considerable iron, titanium, magnesium and other metal deposits have also been noted.

Tangier has been previously surveyed by Corsairs, before suddenly becoming part of Hessian space after the Casablanca offensive of 811 A.S. Hessian survey expeditions to the planet revealed an abandoned Corsair installation, indicating their plans for establishing a base there. The survey also found large amounts of minerals low under the surface. In 816 A.S. a second expedition was launched to the planet, this time in order to construct a mining facility. Until a docking ring could be built, the mining colony would launch and receive specially designed atmospheric craft straight to or from the planet's thermosphere, supplying the orbiting Viernheim base with minerals ready for export to other Red Hessian bases.
