This large System is part of the connection between the X crossroad and Bretonia Space. The first Faction to see the true importance of this System after the defeat of the Nomads were the Bundschuh rebels from Rheinland. They used the opportunity to build a unique station, now called Outpost Delta, in a huge asteroid which was once part of large Nomad planet in the X-3043 System. Later came others. For example the Red Hessians, who are behind most of the local criminal activity and built the Lith station. Likewise, Planetform Inc., who started extensive mining operations in the local mineral rich asteroid fields.
There are however, lesser known facts about Nephele. The first of these is that the first humans who found a way into this System, and also a route from Bretonia Space, were soldiers from the Eastern Coalition on board Sleeper Ship CSN Stalin. What exactly happened, and whether their fate and the eventual destruction of CSN Stalin being tied to the Nomads, is not known. Although it looks very logical. It is also rumoured that the Red Hessians were not the original builders of the Lith station which was built in an mid-size asteroid.
Secondly, in the recent past multiplay (MP) activities, there has been a strong presence of a lawful group of combat pilots called The United Rebels, who have got used to calling Nephele their home. In bars at Outpost Delta stories circulate about the construction of a new station somewhere deep in Nephele space, but any further details about it are sadly lacking.
