The Titan Belt



The Titan Belt is a densely packed asteroid field, fantastically rich in minerals, metals, and various resources necessary for Terran development in the Caprus system and that fetch a veritable fortune back on the Terran home world. It is a capricious, dangerous part of space, mysterious as well, for none who have tried to venture beyond the belt have returned alive.

There are three zones to the belt, the inner most ring, closest to the Titan Stations, is called the Green Zone - this is generally near enough to the stations that travelers find little trouble and is the best known part of Belt Space - though still risk surprise attacks by pirates or raiders. The Belt's most unofficially busy area is called the Yellow Zone (traders call it the Yellow Road), here raiders and pirates wait for short-cut taking traders or smugglers avoiding Titan Security, scavengers pick out wreckage cause by careless navigators, and Titan's Mining crews pass through to get to the Orange Zone. The Orange Zone is Titan Space Only - non Titan Co. vessels found in that area have to contend with Titan Security. Naturally this is an attractive space for vagabonds, but most were avoid the risk. Beyond that is the Red Zone - here the Belt remains utterly unexplored and the Aacat say roam the most dangerous of space - where equipment ceases to function, life-support shuts down, and monsters devour your soul.
