Shipping Control
The Shipping Control are a series of self-sustaining travel authorities who operate autonomously from any government, using PCI technology to adjudicate travel paths and plans, help guide lost ships, and also prepare harbors for shipping arrivals. Their authority in the field is so assured that only the Tonyth Empire doesn't recognize Shipping Control authority.
It's noteworthy that though Shipping Control broadcasts and receives, almost every ship can only receive, leading to a great deal of trust placed in ship captains to not deter from pre-planned routes.
Structure
Shipping Control has three headquarters spaced around Canton - Oerse (North and North-East), Mundus (South and south-east), and LaGuin Archipellego (West). Each HQ runs itself, with loose guidance from the Key 3 directors.
Public Agenda
The Shipping Control exists to guide wayward ships to harbor, decrease harbor congestion, and to prepare harbors for shipping arrivals.
Assets
Each HQ has a PCI transmitter, which can tune to their subphase, or to a private inter-HQ comms sub. This is usually housed in an unassuming building in the HQ location. Shoreskipper crews typically supply their own PCI receiver.
