Ce qu’est ce système
The Baltic is the practical link between the Nordic and Baltic sectors, and everything entering it by sea passes the Danish straits. It also carries the cables and pipelines that connect the states around it, which is why the module publishes it as infrastructure rather than only as water.
The civilian system the military system runs on: cross-border electricity links are the assets the Baltic damage series counts, and the sea is the reinforcement route to the northern sector.

Le système
- Vue d’ensemble
- The system is eight sea areas — the Bornholm basin, the central Baltic around Gotland and Öland, the Gulf of Gdańsk, the Gulf of Riga approach and the three segments of the Gulf of Finland — and what runs across them: the maritime connection between Nordic and Baltic allies, the interconnectors and cables the undersea-damage series counts, and the shadow-fleet traffic the sanctions-enforcement exposure object records. The Baltic connection logistics record carries the dependence; the undersea-damage chain carries what damage does to connectivity; the Nordic-enlargement chain carries what Finnish and Swedish membership changed about the sea.
- Current state · as of 2026-09
- As the Baltic connection record last assessed it (September 2026). The undersea-infrastructure Watch question carries the damage ledger; nothing about protection or coverage is stated here, by rule.

The published markers that carry this system value, by the module’s own priority. A note is the system record’s; a marker without one is a member by its own tag.

Dependencies and constraints
Each marked documented (a published source states it) or assessed (Vigil infers it and says so). The two are never drawn the same way.
The Danish straits. Everything entering the Baltic by sea passes them.
Undersea cables and interconnectors. The cross-border links are the assets the damage series counts; naming the dependency is not naming a target, and no vulnerability, capacity or protection detail is carried.
Chaînes de transmission passant par ce système
Each step carries its own basis grade — Confirmed, Plausible exposure, Unconfirmed scenario — and a chain can only weaken from left to right.
