Founded in E5-128, Ferland Sector was the first human (now neutral) town in the Southern Zone, and the second overall after [[Gehen]]. It started life as a small industrial town, then became an infamous part of history, as the theater of the [[History of the Mazes#Era 5|Ferland Incident]] in E5-225, which eventually sparked the Resource Wars. Ferland was one of the first towns to have adopted [[Standard Law]], and fiercely resisted the influence of criminal elements during and after the war, remaining independent from the influence of any faction.
Many centuries later, following the [[History of the Mazes#Era 7|Roazon catastrophe]] of E7-419 and the deaths of 90% of the original Theoretical Physics Science Team, the [[Scientific Community]] elected Ferland Sector as the home of the new Mathematics and Theoretical Physics Science Team. In E7-429, the new laboratory was opened, resulting in the immigration of many scientists and bright minds, who slowly transformed the old industrial town into a scientific hub. The Agroscience Team replaced the old [[traditional land farm|land farm]] was replaced by the Agroscience Team in E7-440 by with a brand new [[hydroponics lab]]in E7-440, further increasing the scientist population.
As of today, Ferland Sector is home to a large and diverse population of many different species, with roughly equivalent numbers of [[humans]], [[halflings]], and [[youkai]]. Surprisingly, there are also small but active communities of [[psionic warrior|psionics]], [[magician|magicians]], and [[Demonics|demonic creatures]].
