Ceres is the largest body in the Main Belt, and the only one to gain the status of dwarf planet. No one faction has control over Ceres; instead, it's administered by a democratically-elected council.
Ceres is home to Port Ceres, a frontier town best known to visitors as a “truck stop and diner” facility. The Soviet Air Force made Port Ceres and its surroundings famous in the 'Danelaw with the release of their first travel video, Lonely Planet: Ceres. The astroball team Belt United is based out of Port Ceres.
The Chief Administrator of Port Ceres is one Larry Laffer. No one knows if there's any connection with the old adult video game charecter or not, anyone inquiring within the CA's hearing quickly find themselves persona non gratis.
Tony's is felt to serve the best pasta anywhere in Fenspace, though some avoid it because of 'That Pasta Maker'. Apparently accidentally waved by one Murphy Murphy, You get an amazing amount of pasta from the appropriate raw ingredients, for a song. Litterally. You need to sing to it in Italian to get it to work. But since Tony's sous cheif Luigi is an inveterate singer anyway...
