Iron Belt

Iron Belt



Inofficial name for a large region of space in the M-0 galaxy during the 3rd Union/Kermac war.

It was called the Iron belt because it consisted of a large number of star systems reinforced by thrall species of the Kermac (Galactic Council) as a “shield” to protect Kermac systems and worlds.

The region was heavily patrolled by battle thrall species.

It was also considered unbreachable, as the “way around it” was considered too far for any fleet.

The Iron belt had been implemented long before the Union existed, but upgraded and strengthened just before the 3rd Union/Kermac war.

Over 40 Galactic Council species defended the region directly (via fleets and bases) or indirectly by supplying ships and troops.

Admiral Stahl and the First Fleet managed to breach the Iron Belt and assault a Kermac system.

Marking the first ever assault on a Kermac world since recorded Kermac history.
