The following systems will be grouped and categorized due the conflict between the corporations that control them.


 * Okinawa
 * A system founded by a joint venture of the Gas Miners Guild, Kishiro Technologies, and Interspace Commerce. Kusari Naval Forces and Kusari State Police have no authority in this system. Gas Miners Guild, being the only paramilitary force, is the reigning authority of the system.

Contraband depending on area
The following items are considered contraband on board trade vessels in the Tau-29 system. The reason for this is that Tau-29 is in essence a Demilitarized Zone and Kusari does not wish to upset its treaty with the Kingdom of Gallia on the off chance that these items are brought to the aid of the Kingdom of Bretonia.

 * Military Vehicles
 * Plutonium

 * Kusari law forbids the export of Quantum Multiplexors to Gallia.
