      WARNING: MINES DETECTED

      Guarding the Jump Gate that connects Gallia with the Taus, this minefield was hastily deployed by the Gallic Union as a deterrent to any would-be invader.

      Although the use has been called into question, especially by veterans of the Second Gallic War, the government of the Union has refused to seek different approaches to combat a possible attack by foreign navies in the Languedoc system. Its effectiveness remains to be seen in the years to come.

      Mineable Zone

      NIOBIUM ORE

      Ore is a type of rock that contains useful minerals such as metals. These must be extracted through mining and then refined to produce a usable product. This chemically intensive refining process usually creates large amounts of Toxic Waste byproduct. Ores are processed and refined locally, with the refined output then being shipped onward to manufacturing markets.

      Tau-23 Barrier Asteroid Field

      A large rock asteroid field containing rich deposits of Niobium and Beryllium, it is the focus of Border World mining operations by both the IMG and GMS. Outcast activity is very high in the system, leading authorities to believe that it is astride a key Outcast smuggling route.

      Wrecks

      Wolverine - E-5

      The wreck of the Wolverine, flown by Bounty Hunter Ryan McKeen, left as a warning to others who venture too close to Outcast bases.

      Contains:

      Edmund Marshall - F-6

      The wreck of the hijacked freight train Edward Marshall. It was later disabled by a BMM patrol. Its cargo was Beryllium.

      Contains:

      Nagapasa - C-3

      The remnants of the passenger liner Nagapasa -- its engines have been destroyed. It was chartered by the IMG in 834 AS to rescue former slaves stranded on Freeport 10. The vessel was stopped by a Crayter Republic border inspection squadron and accused of violating the embargo of Languedoc. The Republic claims an officer was shot after boarding the vessel to conduct an inspection, resulting in the Nagapasa being attacked. The IMG strongly dispute this story and have launched their own investigation. Three crew members and seven passengers perished during the attack; the survivors were transported to Planet Yuma by Crayterian ships.

      Contains:

      Jump Gates/Holes
