An Amber Zone is a part of a planetary classification system used by the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service and the Travellers' Aid Society; specifically, it is classification for a nation, world, or system which presents a need for caution in dealings.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The amber code may indicate chaos, upheaval, or xenophobia in local business, politics, society, or culture, or may be applied for other reasons.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The Travellers' Aid Society recently updated its policies for giving a world an Amber Zone/Caution rating to include a variety of factors based on recorded world characteristics in the IISS Second Survey data, not just manual review by TAS reporters. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Travel ratings are another Imperium-wide benefit of membership in the Travellers' Aid Society — Faithfully Serving Travellers Since The Year Zero.
Worlds & Sectors (Astrography)[edit]
Amber Zones are located throughout Charted Space.

- Intercept: Re-route what is in transit.
- Mercenary: A mercenary ticket specifically for meeting military unit objectives.
