===== Description =====
The Kuiper belt was considered far too remote for habitation for many decades during the push outwards from [[Earth]]. With [[ship propulsion|modern ship technology]] and habitat construction techniques, the Belt has become the de-facto location for independent industrialists, corporate facilities and those who wish to strike it rich on a frontier that is both less remote than the [[Oort cloud]] and less regimented and controlled than the [[inner system]] [[Halo asteroid belt|Halo]]. [[Cartel|Piracy and criminal enterprise]] are significant problems in the Belt, and most corporations maintain their own armed envoys rather than trusting to the scattered [[CSA]] naval presence. 

===== Places of note =====
None.
