Declared Red Zone

Declared Red Zone

Celestial body or region of space declared highly restricted and access denied.

Prisons, planet under quarantene, military installations, research facilities and storage facilities of restricted materials might have restrictive

approach zones. These zones are clearly marked in charts, there are automated waring buoys in the Orange Zone.

Objects with a Red Zone have active and occupied traffic control center. Space vehicles of any kind must stay clear of Red Zones or face lethal response.

Union law and regulations require any object with a Red Zone to be under federal control and all space traffic is warned.

However if warnings are ignored for whatever reason, Union authorities are known to react swiftly to any intruders into the Red Zone.

Standard Union practice is to inform an approaching ship dropping out of Quasi about all restrictions (if any) of the systems. Many core systems have System traffic control and ships are then linked to the Traffic control.

Apporaching any Union system without active transponders is never a good idea and the question of restrictive zones is then also mute.(Unless you are of a civilization and this is your first exposure to the Union you know what we mean)

Green Zones mean unrestricted approach. Orange means you will get a warning to return on a green flight path. Yellow means you are in the cross hairs of some serious hardware and you receive umistakeable instructions where not to go.

Red Zone, if you made it that far you are good or very stupid. Weapons are now beinf discharged.
