Planet Cambridge
This lush green world is home of the Cambridge Research Institute -- an institution devoted to pure scientific research. Bretonia's epidemic Food shortages required the planetary regents to place farmers with scientists to develop more bountiful crops, making Cambridge the primary Food producer for Bretonia. Now several Cambridge scientists sympathize with the Gaian eco-terrorist movement, igniting bitter debates among researchers over terraforming.

Rumours
Battleship Norfolk
"The Norfolk serves as a keystone in the defense of Bretonia against the scourge of the Corsairs. The Cambridge Line stretches between here and Cambridge to offer additional protection for ships traveling along that Trade Lane."
"We've extended our patrols into Omega-3 per the conditions of the Omega Trade Lane Pact with Rheinland. Problem is, they aren't holding up their end in Omega-7. The excuse is not enough money. We're itching to go in there, but London won't allow it."
Cambridge Research Station
"Cryer used to ship its own Organisms from Leeds. Unfortunately, that little spat with the Outcasts led to a lot of its ships being destroyed in Smog Alley, that stretch of Trade Lane between Leeds and the New London Gate that runs between the clouds. Now we handle it."
Planet Cambridge
"All the Bounty Hunters in Bretonia are looking for an LSF officer -- her name is Jun'ko Zane. I don't know what crime she committed, but the Liberty government has placed a bounty of 1 million credits on her head! That's retirement right there! Let me know if you ever run into her, and I'll split the bounty with you."
"The prison convoy bound for Manchester got attacked yesterday. Corsairs came out of nowhere and ambushed them along the Lane to the New London Gate. They figure they were waiting on the nightside of Cambridge."
Wrecks
