Line 154:
A small tariff is placed on any ship using the gates to depart Asta, resulting in a significant sum collected by the Commonwealth. The tariff has been the cause of several minor diplomatic incidents over the years when even foreign dignitaries have been forced to pay the tariff.
 
The area around the gates boasts an extensive series of defence stations, the first built only months after the Battle of the Gates in 152 (PA) (220). Very few Commonwealth naval vessels are stationed at the Gates, instead Commonwealth doctrine states that if an enemy fleet bypasses the network the [[Commonwealth navyNavy]] will coalesce at Tyrast to repel the enemy. This allows the fleet to maintain a highly variable course, preventing any enemy to predict their exact positions when entering Asta.
