===Planet Wight===

: Shrouded in an almost perpetual fog, not helped by the constant drizzling rain, the heart of Bretonia is planet New London, with its capital city and seat of government bearing the same name. Colonised in 19 A.S., the vast majority of the Bretonian aristocracy lives here, although even the poorest citizen lives in relative comfort and security. A large majority of New London's population works to support Bretonia's obscenely large bureaucratic system, an almost impenetrable network of obscure titles, government offices and paperwork.
+
: A frozen planet locked in a deep crust of ice. Scientists theorize that Wight might once have supported life until its atmosphere was ripped away during an ancient catastrophe. Today, Birmingham Station orbits Wight, but its mining operations focus on the more profitable free-floating ice fields nearby.

: <span style="color:red;">&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;WARNING: NAVIGATIONAL HAZARD&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;</span><br/><br/>The Southampton Debris Field is a monument to government expediency, the product of centuries of ship construction without any form of government environmental oversight in an effort to expand the Bretonian space fleet as quickly as possible. The resulting eyesore, an ocean of scrap, is as emblematic of Bretonia as the Southampton Shipyard itself. No serious attempt to clear the field was ever made, and eventually a large population of Junkers took up residence -- despite the presence of dangerously radioactive areas around leaking engine cores.
+
: <span style="color:red;">&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;CAUTION&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;</span><br/><br/>There is only one safe route through the Newgate minefield, protected by automated defense platforms. Ships are advised to follow the navigational buoys and not to stray from the indicated course. Any ships that deviate from these directives will be considered hostile and fired upon immediately.

The field no longer possesses any resources of note, but the explosive gas has since settled into a large pocket within a gravitational dead zone. Despite this, the proximity of Cumbria to New London has made it a favorite launching point for attacks by the vicious terrorist group known as the Mollys, and the Battleship Suffolk was recently assigned to patrol the perimeter of the field.

: Hydrocarbons are a class of organic compounds composed only of hydrogen and carbon molecules, resulting in a wide variety of substances that have important industrial applications. While hydrocarbons naturally occur in a gaseous state almost everywhere in the known universe, frozen deposits present the most easily exploited form of the substance.

Manchester is a border system in Bretonia controlled space. Providing access to Liberty space through two lucrative trade routes (Cortez or Magellan) this border system also is home to a major bounty hunter base, Sheffield Station; Bretonia Police Authority also maintain several border stations and a large prison in this system, BPA Newgate. This system provides the major legitimate trade routes between Bretonia and Bretonia space.

Newgate Minefield

&gt;&gt;&gt;CAUTION&lt;&lt;&lt;

There is only one safe route through the Newgate minefield, protected by automated defense platforms. Ships are advised to follow the navigational buoys and not to stray from the indicated course. Any ships that deviate from these directives will be considered hostile and fired upon immediately.

Sheffield North Ice Field

A large field of ice asteroids. The North Sheffield Field has been a favorite haunt of Lane Hackers who find it a convenient location to lurk prior to attacking any of the several nearby Trade Lanes.

Sheffield North Ice Field

Sheffield South Ice Field

A large field of ice asteroids. As the crackdown on Molly terrorists has continued and the population of nearby Newgate Prison swells with their numbers, the South Sheffield Field has been used by the Mollys as cover from which to stage prison breaks.

Birmingham Ice Field

The Birmingham Ice Field contains large quantities of frozen Terraforming Gases and Hydrocarbons. The Hydrocarbons are processed into Polymers by the facilities aboard the Birmingham Station, owned and operated by Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing (BMM).

Mineable Commodities

Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons are a class of organic compounds composed only of hydrogen and carbon molecules, resulting in a wide variety of substances that have important industrial applications. While hydrocarbons naturally occur in a gaseous state almost everywhere in the known universe, frozen deposits present the most easily exploited form of the substance. Hydrocarbon mining is key to the industrialization of the Sirius Sector as it provides the raw materials for the creation of the Ship Hull Panels and Optronics, upon which modern society depends.

Water

Dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) is odorless, tasteless, transparent, and absolutely essential to human life. Roughly 75% of the human body is composed of Water. Deprived of Water, most humans can only live three days. The process of dehydration is a painful one, as tissues shrivel and vessels shrink in a desperate bid by the dying body to preserve its remaining vital functions.
