FEDERAL COURIER CARAVANS
Overview
Federal Courier Caravans are the lifeline of the Federal Confederation on VOI 700 D, ensuring the regular movement of goods, resources, and passengers between the human reservations of Morningstar, Hope, New Kourou, and Firetown. These caravans traverse the challenging terrains of the Dark Side and the Habitual Belt, operating on fixed schedules that mirror the precision of rail logistics.
