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 Hörnsheim (close to the tripoint border the UPC, Whales, and The Green), 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 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.
History
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.
In 1732 AN a majority of the fortifications along the border with Whales were deactivated as a token of goodwill towards the principality, with the concrete walls being torn down and the anti-personnel mines being deactivated. The personnel formerly stationed in these areas were relocated to the portion of the barrier that spanned the border with the Green. All that remains of the of the former border installations are the now mineless fences that demarcate the border.
