And you can probbaly ignore Mercury with impunity (although launch
lasers emplaced there were used in the First Man-Kzin War).

Asteroids would be a great place for a minefield or an ambush. I

through the Z-axis. You might incurr a small movement penalty, you're
more likely to see a noticeable delay here than in an unopposed transit.
