The Antirazzien Schutzbarriere (Common Tongue: Anti-Razzia Protection Barrier), often abbreviated as ArSB, is the name given to the fortified frontier defenses along the southern border of the United Principalities of Cibola. It spans from the town of Huttensee (just south of Weisenburg) to the village of Irsdorf near Gödelitz. It was constructed by a joint effort of Kreigstruppen engineers and the Nationalerarbeitsdienst in order to protect the country's vulnerable southern border from razzias stemming from the Principality of Whales and The Green.
The ArSB is comprised of metal fences equipped with mounted directional anti-personnel mines in front of a 4 meter high concrete wall. Pre-fabricated watchtowers were places sporadically along the border, stationed by special border guards. In places where a river constitutes the border, weighted buoys with chainmail nets are installed.
Starting in early 1727 AN, anti-vehicle ditches and dikes were constructed along a majority of the length of the barrier. A mine strip was also installed in front of these ditches.
