GLOBAL FLEET & TRADE · HANDBOOK

Tavern People and Regions

This directory lists every active tavern person in the game data, their assigned trade region and the ports where they can appear.

Tavern People and Regions in Global Fleet & Trade
Tavern People and Regions: player functions, connections and safe operation.

At a Glance

  • The directory is generated from the currently active people and portraits.
  • Availability follows the port’s assigned trade region.
  • SR-06 currently has no playable port and therefore no assigned tavern people.

How regional selection works

When the tavern roster is assembled, the game matches the active port’s trade region to each person’s assigned region. A person can therefore appear in the listed ports of that region, but not automatically in ports of another region.

Enlarge portraits

Move the pointer over a thumbnail. Keyboard users can focus the image. Enlarging it changes no selection and reveals no story or rumour spoilers.

All Tavern People by Region

The directory is generated from the active game data. A person can appear in ports whose assigned trade region matches the person’s region.
