Paris is far removed from the action, however. Galactica is right in the thick of it, directly threatened by the Rambo buildup. Emotions and tensions run high as the business classes demand a more conciliatory stance towards Rambo Nation given that war puts their own investments at risk, while the working classes express great frustration and anger at the suggestion that the profits of rich businessmen should be prioritized over the sapient rights of the Heer Stekeveel. In this moment of crisis, it is becoming clear to ordinary Galacticans that Rambert's government is growing intolerably undemocratic, tyrannical, and irrational, and that he should be opposed in every way possible. |

Description
Logo of the "Gorge"
The "Gorge", officially known as the Rambo Nation Enforced Corridor of the Neutrality Zone was raised in 19 AQF when tensions between Rambo Nation and France rised to unprecendented levels ever seen before.
The Rambo Nation Enforced Corridor of the Neutrality Zone isa contingency plan originally designed by Emperor Dino Le Rambo I shortly after the First Galactic War in 04 AQF to contain the Lizardian north of the Ramsoria Run. The original military construction project was adjusted and placed into effect in 19 AQF. Its primary purpose the fortification of the Rambo presence in the Neutral and Unclaimed Territories of Quadrant 82, to protect their interessts and to prevent the Heer Stekeveel states from posing a threat to the Quadrant Galaxies. High King Rambert Ramveral and the Rambo Government grew tired of the Quadrantia Heer Stekeveel nature to cause trouble in the backyard of Rambo Nation and endangering the Ramsoria Trade Route. It posed a severe and significant threat to the economies of empires and nations within Quadrant 82.
As such Rambo Command began building a ring of Starbases around the Neutrality Zone, fortifications the Rambo used to protect their borders and to contain the Heer Stekeveel threat. An additional purpose the stations fulfilled is that of listening posts, to give Rambo Intelligence insight in the happenings and doing of the entire Neutrality Zone, both north and south of the corridor. Though the Rambo had proper intentions, the plan backfired on them as both France and the Drodo Empire feared these fortifications could be used as launch-points for a a future invasions. The Rambo Government and the Monarch, not feeling inclined to give their reasons for these fortifications made matters worse and tensions rised to dramatic levels.
For the colonial sectors the GITO wormhole faced an imminent threat, a lone strike vessel could bring the entire zone to it's knees and Rambert Ramveral knew that. With war a likely scenario, the Neutrality Zone launched the Dawnstar Project, their own fortification project to protect their wormhole, an act not well taken by the Rambo Government who felt the Neutrality Zone made a grab for power within the already unstalbe political situation in Quadrant 82.
As of 20 AQF, the entire ring of starbases included over 15 starbases with Delphator-Class starships patrolling the corridor. Rambo Command issued a special order that officers with the rank of commander were allowed to command these stations, as the strain and shortage of officers with the rank of captains were required to command the various starships. The station commanders have orders to fire on Heer Stekeveel vessels at sight and to fire on starships who attempt to cross the borders without permission from Rambo Command. Amongst the admirality and the officers working on the stations the corridor became nicknamed the Gorge, as it split the Neutrality Zone from the rest of Quadrant 82 and ship wrecks were not towed away.
Starbases
The entire fortification includes over 15 starbases, various cloaked mine fields and patrolling Delphator-Class cruisers. The entire perimeter starts in the southern area of the Neutrality zone with Lianna-station as its main space station and start. Following the Neutrality Zone borders it runs along the southern border of the Drodo Colonial Sector. A buffer zone is in place as the corridor continues west as it runs along the French Empire colonies (Cran Columbia) up to the Heer Stekeveel Tribes. It continues along the northern borders of Republic of Galactica up to the Rambo Nation R-7 station, who gets included as well and ends the perimeter.
The Badland Colonial Sector borders the Neutrality Zone as well, but are not part of the "Gorge" as the colonial borders are just closed to the Neutrality Zone. These areas are heavily patrolled due to the close proximity of Trentacunta space, a hostile and agressive species.
The stations are featured by the first in line (08) up to the last (R-7). The stations act as border control stations as well, all incoming and outcoming traffect are conducted for inspection and those hailing from the Neutrality Zone need to get a visa at one of the stations to enter Rambo Space, where Rambo Command desires to know for how long they remain outside the Zone and what planets they intent to visit.

Planets
The "Gorge" itself holds various planets as well, neutral and not affiliated with either the Neutrality Organization or Rambo Nation. The placement of the "Gorge" and the Dawnstar Project meant they were trapped between various powers who's relations soured. The placement of this so called neutral zone hampers their trade relations with other planets and as such both fortification barriers are not well taken by those trapped between them.
