Current Information
Planet Stuttgart
Stuttgart is a green, almost inconceivably fertile world owing to the high concentration of carbon dioxide and oxygen in its atmosphere. While the oxygen-rich atmosphere made industrial development infeasible -- one stray spark could set off a massive conflagration -- farming has been hugely successful as many plants from Earth and elsewhere in Sirius took to the environment without problem. Stuttgart has since become the primary source of Food for the entire Rheinland nation. However, concessions granted to Synth Foods by the Rheinland government have allowed them to purchase many of the cooperatives and individually owned farms on the planet, spurring the creation of the LWB farmers rights group.

Planet Baden-Baden
Baden Baden is an idyllic world of large oceans, black sand beaches, and the odd hot spring bubbling from volcanic outcroppings of rock. Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines maintains a popular resort here, though it has seen a decline in business as the economic situation in Rheinland grows worse while radicals sympathetic to the LWB farmer's movement attack government officials who vacation here. Orbital has reportedly been trying to remedy the situation by attracting bargain-hunting Liberty tourists.

Rumours
Planet Stuttgart
"It took some time to safeguard the populace of this planet from the risks of fire. This much Oxygen makes the flammable, but we learned to deal with it. Almost everything here is made from plastics, ships land and take off at the poles where the cold reduces the Oxygen amount and combustion engines aren't used, everything is battery powered."
"Where there's LWB you are probably going to find Red Hessians nearby. Those two groups seem to get along pretty well, of course the Hessians are far more dangerous. Though, the LWB pilots are becoming better and better pilots, don't forget they all used to be simple farmers."
"My ancestors moved here centuries ago and began growing roses. Stuttgart is where people moved when they had made their fortunes and wished to retire. Originally, my family were freelancers who made their money running Luxury Goods. We lost every thing when the subsidies came to a halt."
Planet Baden-Baden
"The finest foods in all of Sirius are brought in from Stuttgart and hand-delivered to our exclusive clientele. Luxury Foods make a luxury vacation."
"If Orbital didn't give us discounts, they would find themselves fighting off a lot more pirates than they do now. hey, it's not my problem a few tourists get blown up here and there. There is a lot of space to keep safe."
Konstanz Border Station
"It is my duty to complete my job to the best of my ability. This is in spite of the conditions that may befall me due to circumstance. To blame other things is only an excuse and the tool of a weak man; I am a Rheinlander of the sleeper ship Rheinland. Perhaps we lost "the Eighty," but that does not give us a license to quit."
"The Valkrie is the most sought-after Rheinland craft. Fortunately, I know of the only place that one can be purchased: the battleship Westfalen."
Freiburg Station
"Though their presence is heavy in this system compared to the others, the Rheinland Federal Police hardly do an adequate job keeping our shipments safe. That is why Republican hires so many Bounty Hunters in Rheinland space; it is a necessary expense."
"Republican supplies this base with with the basic necessities from Stuttgart. Our convoys fall under attack from the Hessians and the LWB, but at least we don't have to worry about the Unioners in this system."
Ulm Border Station
"Premium Daumann weapons make their way to the hands of the Rheinland Federal Police via Republican convoys from the Ring in New Berlin."
