Jump map from Travellermap.com

Schlesien Belt is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and is also a low-population vacuum environment with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Old Islands Subsector of Reft Sector.

• This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.

History and background

This was a colony of Neubayern (Reft 1822) in 1105.

The vessels used to ship ore from Schlesien Belt are hollowed-out asteroids fitted with low-powered drives. They are almost entirely automated; a crew carries out safety and functionality checks at each end of the voyage but apart from maintenance, the vessels need little human assistance.

New Era

The world is renamed to Quarantine Base Avant during the Regency era.

By 1248 the ownership of the belt has transferred to New Home (Reft 1925)
