Encyclopedia Entry

Considered to be too remote to be useful for truly profitable mining operations, the Oort Cloud has been all but abandoned by the Terran High Command. Its only relevance now is in a military context. During the Jump Gate shutdown, the Protectorate conducted a number of targeted operations to systematically wipe out the remnants of the Beryll; the last holdovers of a renegade criminal group once residing in the cloud, which had, until then, managed to remain largely under the Terrans' radar.

Although the Terran Protectorate has displayed little inclination to integrate the Oort Cloud into their economic supply chain, they have established a military infrastructure here and regularly patrol this remote area. A fundamentally dull assignment, being "promoted" to the Oort Cloud is likely to stop any officer's career ambitions dead in its tracks.
