History & Background

Ferry is an important, high-population, high-technology, and heavily industrialized world. It is a member of the Imperium and the subsector capital. The system features a class A Starport with appurtenant shipyards, and is a link in the X-Boat network. Ferry has been assigned an Amber Zone travel advisory.

• The mainworld's feudal technocracy is dominated by the ManuFactors Associative, a collection of companies. Ferry is a major source of high-tech goods for the surrounding area, as well as the key transport node connecting Shadigi Subsector to Narquel Subsector in neighboring Daibei.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Ferry, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the fiefdoms of two members of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight, the Imperial representative to the world.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial count.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial subsector duke, who also conducts affairs regarding the entire subsector at the Interstellar and Imperial level.

World Starport (Sp)

Ferry has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

History-Era: Rebellion

Following the Rebellion the ManuFactors Associative assumed direct control of Ferry's government. The system has become a major producer of TL 12-14 military craft, particularly the grav vehicles and fighters that are two staples of the booming mercenary trade.

Many of the starships that move through Ferry are 600 tons displacement and greater, and most of them are Jump-2 capable. These factors attract a wealthier clientele than is customarily observed in most of the high-volume, B-class ports throughout Diaspora. As a result, Ferry's goods tend to remain in the hands of merchants and customers who are already powerful and rich. Few high-tech cargoes trickle down to the small, tech-starved worlds nearby.
