Illinois

Quincy Asteroid Field
The Quincy asteroid field covers the bottom half of the Illinois system, creating a powerful barrier for ships attempting to enter unannounced. Next to the field is the Colorado jump hole, guarded by the McNeil Island and Springfield station.

'Labyrinth' Mine Field
This Mine field is a testement to LPI engineers. Dubbed the "Labyrinth" by the officers, it has thousands of 12 megaton mines, capable of destroying as much as a battleship that strays too close. Deep within the field is Attica Supermax, the LPI's secure prison. The main entrance is at the top of the field, guarded by 2 weapon platforms. Most visiting officers are suprised by the seemingly lack of security, but then they procced further. The mine field has almost 900 different paths within it. Take the wrong one, and you're a dead person. Each ship entering the field has the correct path entered into their nav-maps, and anyone deviating from the course set is asking for an early grave. A radio blanket covers the field, stopping all communications, and giving further warning to unauthorized pilotes not to enter. Some pilots give rumors of a small passage at the bottom of the field though, but what it is for, noone knows...
