Edit History

An old aerostat that had long been abandoned by its former inhabitants during the war, Falfey was a structure of some importance to imperial nobility, as it was once the source of luxurious Shadow Silk feeding the insatiable demand of Emperor's court for new fineries. The initial raids seeking to rob the production hub of its materials and forcibly recruit the inhabitants were all the incentine needed to provoke the departure of the former inhabitants, and after the success of initial raids died down, the fleets of Badal had targets of much higher importance than a textile production facility in their minds.

Left mostly unmolested as a result, the aerostat remained capable of limited operations in this reduced state, the few remaining families that had hid out the chaos used the massive trade and textile manufacturing hub as their home for a time, watching out the conflict that erupted across the system... but as the dust began to settle and managing the massive structure entirely by themselves grew ever more troublesome, most of the remaining survivors departed to find new lives in the aerostats with actual population, leaving only the automatic diagnostic and self-repair drones active to maintain the slowly drifting aerostat.

By the time the repair and scouting crews from Senkar arrived to assess the viability of Falfey for continued settlement, the old systems were beginning to fail, threatening to send the aerostat plummeting towards the planet below... and while timely arrive of Djinn-guided repair personnel prevented such an explosive end for the production hub, the arrival of criminal elements, competing business interests and somewhat self-aware repair bots meant the place was about to develop an atmosphere somewhat removed from its opulent origins.

While it has been damaged some by the passage of time and the burden of only the most rudimentary of maintenance being performed upon its structure for many years, Falfey is regardless a sight to behold. A manufacturing and trade hub with a spherical manufacturing center as its center, the rest of the aerostat is compromised of half a dozen floating districts orbiting the central structure, as well as a small fleet of floating platforms and small vessels moving about its innumerable loading docks. The style of the central structure is one of somewhat stripped-down opulence, the clear signs of archetectural style and furnishings of imperial court still visible through the renovations being made on it by the newly arrived colonists.

The surrounding floating districts and smaller craft create a peculiar sort of ever-shifting street network around the central manufacturing hub, districts often altering their position around the aerostat to allow deliveries and movement of people to occur most effectively. Due to the somewhat glitchy nature of some of the old systems and the whims of semi-sentient drones the travel around the floating streets can at times be somewhat frustrating or hazardous, with an accident happening every now and then to an unfortunate colonist too poor to afford traveling in style and safety of their very own craft.

As a distribution and trade hub, nature aboard Falfey tends to be limited to carefully maintained plants grown mostly for their aesthetic value, although there are often reports of odd pests inhabiting the deeper parts of old superstructures that repair crews avoid for fear of provoking a catastrophic malfunction. The drones have those handled for most part, right?

As the former inhabitants of Falfey abandoned their old homes and workplaces, the former population of the aerostat is supposedly entirely absent from it these days. Instead, colonists from Senkar have stepped up as the majority population, the tall ectomorph humans forming their society in Houses and Courts common on Senkar.

While they are by all means the majority population of Falfey, the inhabitants of Senkar are joined by majority population of traders from all across Badal, the manufacture of precious shadow silk having drawn attention from far and wide.

The most peculiar slice of the aerostat's inhabitants are the mechanical drones that have long upheld its vital systems, but the matter of their citizenship is a often debated thing. While they exhibit considerable signs of personhood, tests have yet to prove the matter of their sapience, although the population has mostly accepted their inclusion without much issue so far.

The government of Falfey is ultimately under the rule of High Court aboard Senkar, with the enforcers of Lord Speaker assigned to the newly repaired aerostat to keep good order and rule of Senkar's laws in effect. Regardless, Falfey has its own political circles, ones that somewhat differ from the ones practiced by United Houses of Senkar at large.

While the Low Courts and Houses making up their number scheme and one-up each other much like they would at Senkar, their worst excesses are tempered by the need to deal with both emerging criminal syndicates that control multiple districts floating around the central manufacturing hub, as well as the ineffable will of the drone collective still managing several crucial aspects of the aerostat's manufacture. The day to day managing of the aerostat largely falls onto small council of representatives from each of these three major factions, with their supervisors at High Court caring little as to who sits among their number as long as they manage to maintain the aerostat's operations in satisfactory manner. While this arrangement is unlikely to last forever, it has proven an effective way to manage the new territory in the interim.

Resource: Shadow Silk (Fabrics and Textile Products)

The fine silk produced by the systems of Falfey allows for creation of all sorts of exotic finery, as well as more mundane yet durable textile products.

Desired Import: Precious Minerals

As the completion of many of the more expensive fashion choices favored by nobility and imperial dignitaries requires exotic embellishments, Falfey requires a constrant stream of precious minerals to refine into all sorts of buckles, adornments and accessories.
