Notes
Controlling Faction: Independent
Dangers: Duels and claim-skips are daily; no Legion, no Arbiter, only the marshal and the biggest gun., Fold bleeds through thin Cores; locals hear the static after sundown., Surikov Dynamics recruitment scouts signing day-labourers into PMC indenture on the spot.
Hooks: Claim-rush fever: a Helios Foundry survey licence was posted to a heavy-metal outlier and two hundred independent claim-jumpers have converged in eight weeks., A Drift Logistics factor offers cheap fold-lift for any tonnage brought in, but pays only in vouchers redeemable at the company store., A rival Helios claim-stake sits just past the demarcation; both parties are jumpy, and the marshal is on the Drift payroll.
Lore: Lastcall Reach is the bleeding edge of the second expansion: a cold desert world with a thin breathable atmosphere, sitting past the last Confederation beacon-update. The prospector-rush began when a Helios Foundry survey drone logged a heavy-metal lode in the southern flats. Word spread by courier-runner and unlicensed fold-hop; within two months twelve thousand souls were camped in prefab shelters and old haulers. No Confederation marshal has arrived. The only law is the town marshal, hired and paid by Drift Logistics, who runs the only Core-rated freighter dock. It is not a colony; it is a queue. Everyone is here for one reason, and most plan to leave. The Akraan slab was found by a claim-jumper six weeks in, half-buried at the edge of the lode. Nobody on-site can read it; a salvage-buyer on the Rim offered two thousand rekkies for it and was laughed out of the saloon. It still sits where it was dug up.
Notable: The Three Lanterns Saloon (and the claim registry above it)., A half-buried Akraan slab on the south flats, found by a claim-jumper six weeks in., Drift Logistics owns the only working LaGrange-Core-rated freighter dock.
