Beacon Junction Transfer Office
Overview
Beacon Junction Transfer Office is a transfer office, not a throne room. wet concrete, fluorescent route boards, machine coffee, and municipal dispatch chatter. Crews arrive with fuel figures, custody seals, and route declarations; they leave with one more stamp and less patience.
The office understands the difference between passage and possession. Its clerks can inspect a diplomatic pouch, confirm a gate slot, or witness a custody transfer. They cannot make the next world belong to their polity because a ship passed through here first.
For play, keep the stop brief and useful. A delayed signature, a mismatched seal, or a fuel allotment creates pressure without stealing the destination's story. Resolve it, learn one practical fact about the next leg, and get back aboard.
