General overview:
Rampart is essentially a stellar way station; there is absolutely nothing else of any commercially viable exploitable worth here.
Due to the paucity of civilian population centres in the system, the Imperial Navy pretty-much runs the system from the Naval Base at Rampart. Operating from the next-door Moibin Subsector, as Limon subsector has no capital world or sub-sector government, the 130th Imperial Navy Fleet is additionally tasked with maintaining a security presence in Limon, which it does from the extensive set of main and satellite Naval Bases within the system. Elements of the 130th Fleet are permanently stationed on rotation here for six-month routine patrol tours (normally one CruRon and two SDB Squadrons, but if there is no available CruRon, two DesRons are sent instead), along with a regiment of Imperial Marines on extended training on Rampart I Gamma-See (known for short as "One Gamma See").
As a consequence of all the civilian traffic using this system as a waypoint and thoroughfare, the navy installed a very comprehensive tracking system in both the inner and outer systems; the result is one of the most effective space traffic management systems in the known galaxy.
There are also two IN research facilities (a jump drive improvement facility on Rampart Delta, and a Marines Infantry weapons design and testing lab on Rampart II Beta-See), and one civilian commercial research lab (looking into new low-gee zero-atmo mining technologies, run by a division of Sternmetal Horizons, on a contract for the IISS) in-system on Rampart II Epsilon-See.
While the Rampart system is not a Red travel zone, present in-system is one of the IN's major Naval Sector Brig facilities (sited on the almost-ice world One Gamma See, which has a fully-enclosed Dome system housing the Prison Farm, which is staffed by the inmates, and which produces much of the fresh produce (all forms) that goes into starship provisions in the sector. No conventional fences or walls are required for this low-level brig, as most unprotected humans would be dead from exposure in a very short time, so prison escapes are very, very rare, and usually the result of mental instabilities in those that attempt escape.
Inmates sent to this Brig facility are generally low-level military offenders, and while they have been assessed to be low-risk, they have all been sentenced to be discharged from Imperial Service (Bad Conduct Discharges, mainly), and the hydroponic farm provides them work experience leading to one of several qualifications that are recognised in civilian life. There is a secondary facility on-world, which is used as a Naval Gunnery Range for Naval interface bombers, Naval FOBS tests, and Live-Fire Imperial Marines Infantry manoeuvres; it also houses barracks for the on-world Marine Regiment, whose secondary duty is to assist the Naval SPs at the Brig in times of alert or other trouble.
There is a small facility for servicing X-Boats arriving in-system, co-located with the main naval base high station at Rampart.
The Navy runs extensive patrols through this system, and visiting civilian shipping that is merely 'travelling through' is required to remain close to the Gas Giant (there is a three diameters exclusion zone to non-military traffic around "One Gamma See", for obvious reasons), perform their refuelling (if required), and leave without making any unnecessary planetfall. A NOTAM (NOtice To Astronauts, Mandatory) is in effect within the system, to this effect, and is renewed and republished annually, sector-wide. Violators of the NOTAM can be expected to have their ships pursued, boarded, and the crews and passengers detained (forcefully if required), pending extensive interviews (interrogations) to determine intent and/or guilt, followed usually by prosecution under the various laws regarding the security of Imperial Naval bases and the space around them. Draconian it may be, but lessons were learned in the Fifth Frontier War, and the Navy learned them well.
System Highlights:
- Rampart A434200 F
-Naval Base, Low Population, Non-Industrial (Navy High & Ground Base, System HQ, Imp Navy & Marines Transit Barracks).
- Main system port facilities, geared to servicing military traffic. The Down Port also handles civilian ships for the small civilian population on-world. The civvy facility is separate from the military one, and a local agreement has civilian traffic in need of refined fuel able to purchase it at cost plus Imperial Sales Tax from the IN - with no local duties or fees, that makes this a VERY cheap fuel source! - 1 Beta
Innermost Gas Giant.
- 1 Beta-Ay
- Research Labs (Infantry arms), Naval Base (SDB Sdn 'hide')
- This is a rough location for storage of fuel, ammunition and other consumable supplies only; it's intended as a stopover/supply dump for them while on patrol around the major gas giant. - 1 Beta-Gee
- Naval Base (Tracking station) - 1 Gamma-See
- Naval Base (Imp Marines Barracks)
- This is the IN discharge brig, and the proving grounds and live-fire ranges for in-system ships and Marines.
- Effectively an Ice world, all brig inmates are housed and work in linked hab domes which are semi-submerged into insulated foundations on the permafrost. Gamma See does not experience normal snow or sleet; instead, the extreme cold, coupled with the low atmospheric pressure, causes ice storms, which throws clouds of needle-like ice projectiles at tremendous velocity; any unarmoured organic body exposed to these storms is reduced to nothing more than organic sludge in very short order... no wonder the Imperial Marines use this planet for extreme environmental SERE (Survive, Evade, Resist & Extract) training! - 1 Delta
- Research Labs (Jump tech) - 2 Beta
- Naval Base (Tracking Stn) - 2 Gamma
- SDB Sqn 'Hide' - Again, this is a rough location for storage of fuel, ammunition and other consumable supplies only; it's intended as a stopover/supply dump for them while on patrol around the major gas giant. The research labs are a self-contained facility on the other side of the planet, with the G class post facility; it's not intended for regular visits from larger ships, primarily the field is there to service its weekly supply runs from Rampart Base - 2 Epsilon
- Monastic Retreat; Not much is known about this somewhat obscure and apparently monotheistic order. They have a regular monthly shuttle of supplies, keep to themselves, don't accept visitors from outside their order, and don't interfere with the Naval operations.
- 2 Epsilon-See
- Research Labs (Civilian Contract, Mining Tech)
There are also Naval Stations (not bases) located on the following satellites:
- 1 Beta See
- Remote unstaffed tracking station - 1 Beta Dee
- Remote unstaffed tracking station - 1 Beta Ee
- Remote unstaffed tracking station - 1 Beta Gee
- Inner-System Traffic Control Station - 1 Gamma Aitch
- tracking station, System Comms Relay, and Navigation beacon - 1 Epsilon
- Remote unstaffed tracking station - 1 Epsilon Ay
- Remote unstaffed tracking station - 1 Mu
- Tracking station & Range Control Facility - 2 Beta
- Outer-System Traffic Control Station - 2 Gamma Ay
- Remote unstaffed tracking station - 2 Epsilon Bee
- Remote unstaffed tracking station
