As of 20 AQF, the entire ring of starbases included over 15 starbases with {{Vehicle|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. |

Showing a clear sign that the Rambo took their role as "protectors" serious and weren't affraid to go against the wishes of colonial sectors. Those locked behind the Gorge saw Rambert's actions as a horrifying confirmation that the Rambo monarch was insane, and that the only way to protect themselves would be to challenge him.[[File:SGWGorgeSecured.png|thumb|350px|Starbase 33 falls, signalling the Imperial control over the Gorge]] Eventually Rambo Nation and France would return to table for {{Fiction|Second Gorge Negotiation Process}} to find a peaceful compromise or solution for the {{Fiction|Gorge Dispute}}. In the end, both sides had made an uneasy agreement and tolerated each other on each side of the borders. Though border security decreased over the years the Gorge area remained a thorn in the eye for both its supporters and opponnents and control over it was highly sought. |

+ | In september 21 AQF, High King Rambert Ramveral closed the ''Gorge'' for the {{Fiction|New Cyrannian Republic}} after the [[Fiction:Second Great Cyrannus War/New Republic Civil War/Precipice|''Precipice'']]-events that concluded the [[Fiction:Second Great Cyrannus War/New Republic Civil War|New Republic Civil War]] but revealed newfound tensions and hostilities between once close allies. In october 21 AQF Rambo Nation had fallen and was conquered by the {{Fiction|Galactic Empire of Cyrannus}}. Most starbases, amongst them 24 and 25 surrendered though others refused to acknowledge Imperial authority. [[File:DawnofDivina29.png|thumb|left|350px|The Resistance arrives to engage the Imperials along the Gorge]]Amongst them was starbase 33 who found itself under siege by {{Fiction|Raptor Squadron}} who killed all of its captured personnel as a warning to the others. This brutal act ensured the surrender of starbases 31, 33 and 04 as they saw no need to fight with their Monarchy and Nation in ruin. The last bastion to refuse Imperial rule was starbase 08, ''{{Vehicle|Lianna}}''-station. |
||
+ | |||
+ | By March 2820, the Gorge became the frequent sight of small raids by {{Fiction|Recon Squadron}}, associated with the {{Fiction|Cyrandia Resistance}}. there first target was to disable starbase 04 to disrupt Imperial activities in the vicinity. |

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 "Gorge" is also knowns as amongst supporters as the Gorge, the most well known amongst its other references including Rambert's Wall, or less friendly Rambert's Folly and Rambo's Scar.
At order of High King Rambert Ramveral the fortification line of starbases and space stations was raised to increase the security and safety of Rambo Nation. Benefit for Rambo Nation included it protected their southern and western borders against the Lizardian, Hutters and Regellis. It opened a new trade route along the "Gorge" as well, without passing through any foreign territories it ensured a new and steady flow of income as the space stations across the "Gorge" are often used as trade hubs.
The side effect of the "Gorge" resulted in a detoriating relation with France and the Drodo Empire, as well as cutting the Neutrality Zone in two, everything within the "Gorge" perimeter became known as the Neutrality Zone, including the foreign colonial sectors and planets like Nal Amroth and Gaskhan. It southern bounderies border the Rambo Nation Badlands Colonial Sector. The sector north of the "Gorge" became known as the Unclaimed Territories, including planets as Terra Prime and Sanderhal. For most, both sectors are often reffered as the "Neutrality Zone".
Though infamous, with supporters and those that wish to see it gone, the "Gorge" became an effective defense line for Rambo Nation, ensuring their dominant position within the so called "eastern hot zone".
History
The Rambo Nation Enforced Corridor of the Neutrality Zone is a 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.
Rambert later withdrew the order to fire on all Heer Stekeveel vessels and permitted civilian Heer Stekeveel vessels to cross the borders if they acquire the right visa. Rambert was convinced by President Nexarón Valkistair in doing so and the High King and the President of the New Cyrannian Republic began researching for joined crew onboard the "Gorge" space stations as the "Gorge" effectively protected the Republica Elen'Nanethia and both the Rambo eastern and western territories against the Great Star Dominion. The corridor added another defense line against hostile powers in the east, effectively protecting the western sectors including the capital against a possible threat posed by the Hutter Kingdom and the Regellis Star Empire might the Badlands Sector ever be invaded.
By mid 20 AQF, the Gorge provided Rambo Nation with a new guarded trade route and a new source of income and wealth was generated through the stations to the treasure chest. Though it popularity and support within the Nation, it caused much controversion and refusal with both the Drodo Empire and France. While they felt the NZTO became isolated of it, the Rambo Government failed to see why it was such a problem and relations detoriated rapidly, growing more intense than upon its raise. After the failed Franco-Rambo Summit in 20 AQF, where both King Rambert Ramveral and Alexandre I failed to come to terms. The "Gorge" became what it was feared to become, a wall against the NZTO.
Though many in the First Gigaquadrant blamed the Rambo monarch for its failiure and frowned upon the raise of the corridor, many within the Quadrants hailed the Rambo monarch for it. Showing a clear sign that the Rambo took their role as "protectors" serious and weren't affraid to go against the wishes of colonial sectors. Those locked behind the Gorge saw Rambert's actions as a horrifying confirmation that the Rambo monarch was insane, and that the only way to protect themselves would be to challenge him.
Eventually Rambo Nation and France would return to table for Second Gorge Negotiation Process to find a peaceful compromise or solution for the Gorge Dispute. In the end, both sides had made an uneasy agreement and tolerated each other on each side of the borders. Though border security decreased over the years the Gorge area remained a thorn in the eye for both its supporters and opponnents and control over it was highly sought. In september 21 AQF, High King Rambert Ramveral closed the Gorge for the New Cyrannian Republic after the Precipice-events that concluded the New Republic Civil War but revealed newfound tensions and hostilities between once close allies. In october 21 AQF Rambo Nation had fallen and was conquered by the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. Most starbases, amongst them 24 and 25 surrendered though others refused to acknowledge Imperial authority.
Amongst them was starbase 33 who found itself under siege by Raptor Squadron who killed all of its captured personnel as a warning to the others. This brutal act ensured the surrender of starbases 31, 33 and 04 as they saw no need to fight with their Monarchy and Nation in ruin. The last bastion to refuse Imperial rule was starbase 08, Lianna-station.
By March 2820, the Gorge became the frequent sight of small raids by Recon Squadron, associated with the Cyrandia Resistance. there first target was to disable starbase 04 to disrupt Imperial activities in the vicinity.
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.

Quotes
“There is no neutral ground in the Neutrality Zone, every square inch, every split second it falls under the everlasting protection and watch of Rambo Nation!”
- - Rambert Ramveral in 19 AQF upon the raise of the "Gorge"
“Barriers like this are easy to erect. They're much harder to tare down.”
“How amusing, while the Rambo isolate themselves from the rest of the Gigaquadrant, those colonial sectors alienate the Rambo. A most interessting situation and in the end they will realise, that they will stand alone against the might of the Kingdom as my Hammer falls down upon them!”
