== Quadrant 15 ==
An empty system in neutral space, valued solely for being a jump point between Centauri, Earth, and Minbari space.  

A Centauri jumpgate formerly used by the military remains available for commercial use.  Military vessels occasionally include the quadrant in their patrols to limit pirate activity and ensure that nothing endangers the jumpgate.  Sensors sound an alarm if any vessel approaches the jumpgate without the proper credentials, and the three governments take turns keeping a response vessel close enough to react to any threats.

The most notable feature is an asteroid field several minutes from the jumpgate.  While not unique, some researchers visit the field to conduct experiments that would not be done in more populated systems.  

The closest destinations to Quadrant 15 are Beta 4, Regula, and [[#Epsilon Eridani]].

=== The Tower of Babel ===
''Therefore the name of it called Babel, because the'' Lord ''did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the'' Lord ''scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.''<br>
-Genesis 11:9, ''King James Bible'' (1769/2255)<br>
<br>
Hidden from the major powers (or at least not acknowledged by them) is a former Centauri listening post on the edge of the asteroid field.  Disguised as just another asteroid, the location functions as a smuggler's haven.  Various criminals took up temporary residence while waiting for the Babylon station to be built, but the destruction of four separate stations has caused them to view the base as a long-term port of call.  The base's original name has been forgotten, but the locals call it Babel, or "the Tower" if they want to avoid using a proper name.

The most notable feature of Babel is that it has artificial gravity.  By default, this is set at one standard gravity (1g), though during an attempted takeover in 2254 the gravity suddenly shifted to 1.5 g.  The station enforcers were prepared for the change, which gave them the edge they needed to secure Babel.

== Epsilon Eridani ==
Sector 919: ''Euphrates Sector''.  This region contains four notable planets and many planetoids.
=== Grid Epsilon ===
A region of neutral space at coordinates 470 by 18 by 22.  The world of Epsilon III is located here.  The construction site for the fifth Babylon station is located at the L5 point, near the local jumpgate.  Security is '''exceptionally''' high given what occurred with the previous four stations.  Minbari and Earth warships are both stationed nearby, though they are kept as far apart as possible to prevent any misunderstandings.

Planetary surveyors have started exploring this area of space, attempting to find suitable candidates for mining projects.
=== Sector 14 ===
A region of space approximately three hours flight time from Epsilon III via normal space.  The sector is the previous home of the Babylon Project, off-limits since Babylon 4 disappeared 24 hours after coming online.

== Sector 49 ==
An Earth Alliance sector with an active EarthForce base.  The last stopover point for ships traveling between Earth and the construction site at Grid Epsilon.

== Beta-4 == 
No significant data found.

== Regula ==
No significant data found.

== Vega Sector ==
Home to an Earth Alliance colony and outpost.  It's top legal export is ice from Vega III, but it is better known as a major source of tech-running.

== Quadrant 14 ==
A Narn colony on the border of Centauri space.  The largest Narn civilian colony excluding the Narn Homeworld, it has its own jumpgate and a formidable space station.

== Valusha ==
A system on the border of the Minbari Federation, containing a jumpgate and naval shipyards.  It is believed to be the home sector of the Wind Swords.
