Verdant Profit (zone)

Named for the countless natural and artificial tunnels that snake through it, the Maze is the huge broken asteroid in which the Jump Gate in Fields of Opportunity is situated. The nature of the tunnels, which run from one end of the asteroid to the other, lead the Teladi to believe that the Maze was broken up for mining by one of the system's previous occupants, though there is no evidence to suggest who these settlers may have been.

Though Overwatch still receives a supply of Teladianium from the foundries in Fields of Opportunity, after a Jump Gate realignment the Habitat-class "superstation" was cut off from most of the technology it requires to manufacture ships from its dedicated shipyard. Even though it now depends on Albion for these technologies, Overwatch still has much to offer the system, since it provides food and energy to all the stations still scattered across Serpentine Haze and Fatal Path. More importantly, however, it is home to thousands of Teladi civilians and the headquarters of the Teladi Union, making it the first port of call for any traveller coming to Fields of Opportunity.
