## Nebulae

### Sarre Nebula

Sarre is a nebula comprised mainly of methane and sulfur, giving its unique yellow-accentuated color.

### Toul Nebula

A beautiful nebula frequently used as a hideout by the local Maquis.

## Asteroid Fields

### Laxou Ice Field

One of the few ice fields that entrench into Gallic Space. It is reported that Unione Corse are often seen clashing with Outcasts.

### Longwy Asteroid Field

A field of rock asteroids. Unione Corse activity is abundant in its perimeter and within.

### Lorraine Mine Field

**>>>WARNING: MINES DETECTED<<<**

A large and dense mine field sealing access to the Tau-37 Jump Hole.

### Roanne-et-Montigny Debris Field

Roanne and Montigny debris field is composed of the two stations following their explosion. The installations were destroyed during the Second Kusari-Gallic war of 743 A.G.S after that the Naval Forces received the order to scuttle all the Gallic bases in Lorraine. The field is somewhat hazardous but is there is a safe corridor for vessels travelling to Metz.

### Luneville Debris Field

In many ways similar to its now dismantled sister station of Montpellier in Languedoc, Luneville was built to maintain and secure the mines that surround jump hole leading into the dangerous Outcast space. By the time the Outcasts themselves arrived, the mine field was already in place. Having no means to penetrate it, the Outcasts simply avoided the area, establishing Genoa base in Tau-37 to keep watch over their side of the field.

Unaware of what lay on the other side, the minefield was eventually breached in 817 AS by a surprise Council strike from Lorraine. Their method was as crude as it was effective: A large engine salvaged from a derelict Navy cruiser was grafted onto a dense asteroid in the Sarre nebula. While Council and Maquis raiders distracted the bulk of the GRN's Lorraine forces with a diversionary attack on Metz, this asteroid was sent straight into the center of the minefield. This unconventional attack succeeded, creating a wide path through the mines all the way into Tau-37. Starved of reinforcements, the Luneville defenders were unable to restore the minefield. The Council later came to regret this as the Outcasts arrived, first in a trickle, then a wave that Gallia, in the midst of its civil war, was powerless to stop.

Supply lines to Luneville have been reinforced by the newly repaired and combat ready Epinal, but efforts to restore the the minefield have so far proven futile. This is due not only to near constant Outcast strikes on the base, but Maquis attacks as well. Although the Maquis have no love for the Maltese, it seems the continued presence of the Outcast raiders in Lorraine and Burgundy taxes the Duchy greatly, something the Maquis have a vested interest in.

The biggest threat to the facility would come from not the Outcasts, but the Kusari Navy, which invaded Lorraine in mid 827. As a military facility, it was deemed an acceptable target for the KNF, and the station was subsequently captured. The station would eventually be scuttled with all other bases in Lorraine as the KNF left the system.

### Le Thillot Asteroid Field

A field of rock asteroids. Unione Corse activity is abundant in its perimeter and within.
