Furies Furnace: Difference between revisions

A region of space near near the [[Gorn]] and at the tip of the [[The One Kingdom|One Kingdom]] (before reaching the [[Igloo Cluster]]). The Furnace is composed of asteroids, various gases, and materials. It is also the first known location of an unidentified substance (believed to be feces of a space-faring entity within the region) that renders sensors unreliable and, upon contact with metal-based material (such as ship hulls), is corrosive.  

Previously, the Furnace was an established trade route for the [[Free Trade Union]] which also operated the [[Furies Furnace Base]]. The FTU base was first discovered by the crew of the [[USS Independence]], serving aboard the [[USS Hammond]]. This base was destroyed in the first battle of the Gorn Conflict that lead to the [[Battle of Eratis]].

The destruction of this base, led to the FTU signing a treaty with the Federation. This treaty, known as the [[Furies Furnace Treaty]], opened the door for future interaction with the [[Free Trade Union|Union]].
