Overview
Ferrix is a cold, barren salvage world on the Outer Rim, sitting at a junction of several hyperspace routes. Ships and dealers pass through because its markets are known as some of the best sources of second-hand parts in the galaxy[1]. The surface is a rocky, amber-brown plain, and the main town is a huddle of brick and corrugated metal beside the scrapyards.
The people of Ferrix are salvagers, scrappers, merchants and technicians who find, fix and resell what the galaxy throws away[1]. They are a tight-knit community, and a local social club called the Daughters of Ferrix looks after its members in life and in death[1].
Ferrix is the world where Cassian Andor grew up, and it is one of the main settings of the series Andor[2]. Corporate security from Morlana One, the capital of the system, polices the area until the Empire tightens its hold[6].
Who lives here
Salvagers and scrappers
A tight-knit community of scavengers, merchants and technicians who find, repair and resell used parts to the traders who pass through[1].
Daughters of Ferrix
A local social club that looks after its members in life and in death. Maarva Andor is one of its past presidents[1][3].
Pre-Mor security
Not locals: a corporate security force from the system capital, Morlana One, which polices Ferrix before the Empire takes a closer grip on the planet[6].
Imperial garrison and ISB
Not natives, but a growing presence: Imperial troops stationed on Ferrix, together with agents of the Imperial Security Bureau[3].
Role in the galaxy
Ferrix matters as a home, not a battlefield. It is the working-class town where Cassian Andor was raised among the scrappers, and where his close ties are, among them Bix Caleen, who runs a salvage-parts business there[2][4]. Its position on the trade routes keeps people with business of their own passing through[1].
It is also where the galaxy's powers meet an ordinary community. Corporate security from Morlana One, and then Imperial troops and Security Bureau agents, move in on a world that is used to being left alone[6][3]. That pressure on a quiet working town is a large part of what Andor is about.
