During the Golden Age, most of the impoverished Liegeless found work as manual labourers, especially as dockers. The cities on the coast of the Sea of Rust were a particularly rich source of work. However, even with dock-work, the majority of Liegeless were unable to afford decent maintenance overhauls. This lead to a constant migration of destitute Liegeless crossing the Equatorial Heights at Perihelon and travelling on foot for thousands of hics; either west and then south to the ports in the north of Kalis, or east and south to Hydrax, etc., and of impoverished Liegeless dockers travelling the same roads back north to take advantage of the free maintenance facilities in places like Stratus. This lead to the slow erosion of a broad foot-road running parallel to the coast of the Sea of Rust for almost its entire circumference - the Rusted Road - the length of which was dotted with burial markers, and the rusting bodies of those who had succumbed to starvation, poor maintenance or the rust-storms which boiled up from the Sea of Rust. After the beginning of the Third War, the destruction of Perihelon and the conquest of Tagon, the Decepticons converted the Rusted Road into a fully functional multi-lane freightway, turning it into an arterial road from Polyhex and Tagon to Kalis and Hydrax. Many of the Golden Age burial markers are still visible on the verges, and the Rusted Road is one of the richest sources of ghost stories known to the Decepticon army. Also [Autobot]: the Circumcorrosive Highway, Greener Road.
