Gurzil Belt Alpha

The Gurzil belt alpha is a protoplanetary disk that orbits the sun of the developing [Gurzil system](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Kxydrxd45-gurzil-system). Still in its infancy, it is a swirling mass of dust, asteroids, and planetessimals. During the [Xi'an-Human Cold War](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RXlLjDewkZ-xian-human-cold-war) (SEY 2530 - 2793), many spacecraft from both sides of the conflict were lost in the Gurzil belt, officially due to poor visibility. Salvage companies under contract from the [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth) government are engaged in long-term cleanup operations to remove wrecks and anti-ship mines that were abandoned in the system after the territory was ceded to the UEE under the terms of the 2789 [Akari-Kr.ē](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bE3rKrl5z6-akari-kree-treaty) Treaty.
