The Ferron system is a planetary system in the United Empire of Earth (UEE) that consists of one mesoplanet, one coreless planet, one terrestrial planet, one gas giant, and an F-type star. Discovered by Pali Laumet in 2460, it was one of the wealthiest systems in the UEE until 2791, when Linton Messer XI accused its populace of harboring political dissidents. Wealthy Citizens and Messer loyalists fled, taking large amounts of funds with them. Then, in 2832, Shubin Interstellar announced profit losses for the first time ever, signaling that most of Ferron's mineral resources were depleted. More businesses pulled out, triggering further economic devastation.
