In the early [[thirty-second century]], the construction of [[Lüneburg Vehicle Corporation]] on [[Braunschweig]] allowed the League to expand their garrison to include heavier units and its success led to the establishment of [[HDF Manufacturing]] on [[Falsterbo (HL)|Falsterbo]] and the expansion of the Bordello factory on Antwerp.<ref name=TtS:Bp5>''Touring the Stars: Braunschweig'', p. 5</ref>

====Hanseatic Crusade====
+
==Planetary History==
During [[Escorpión Imperio]]'s [[Hanseatic Crusade|conquest]] of the League in [[3140]]–3141, [[Regional Defense Force Four]] was hurried to Antwerp to protect Bordello Military Goods. This proved inconsequential, as the Clan's [[Imperio Militar del Escorpión|''touman'']] bypassed the Hansa's border worlds in Wave 3 to strike at interior systems.<ref name=OTP:HCp11>''Operational Turning Points: Hanseatic Crusade'', pp. 11, 25: "Wave 1 - Wave 3"</ref> After the fall of Hansa's capital [[Bremen (HL)|Bremen]] in October 3140, [[Alpha Galaxy (Escorpión Imperio)|Alpha]] and [[Hellion Galaxy (Escorpión Imperio)|Hellion Galaxies]] moved to secure the worlds that had been spared up to that point. Militias and mercenaries on Antwerp refused to yield despite [[Captain-Marshal of the Hanseatic Defense Force|Captain-Marshal]] [[Rudolf Schmidt]]'s nation-wide surrender order. Mines, artillery, and other fortifications stymied the Scorpions for two months. All remaining Hanseatic League systems would surrender or be conquered by April 3141.<ref name=OTP:HCp13/>

'''Antwerp''' is one of the worlds that form a part of the [[Deep Periphery]] nation known as the Hanseatic League.<ref name="FR:Pp24"/> It is also the site of the only military manufacturing plant in the Hanseatic League.<ref name=objp31/>
