Ravenport is the transit and goods terminal district of Mercantile in Alpha Centauri, centred at approximately -526, 64, 208 (OW city centre), with the terminal district at -803 to -765, 14–72, 693–728.

Overview[edit]

Ravenport served as the commercial gateway to the Free Trade Nation. All rail freight arriving from Sher via the Ravenport Express terminated in its underground goods complex. The above-ground city centre sat north of the terminal, while the Ravenport Underground — a tunnel network connecting warehouses to the surface — ran beneath the settlement.

The Terminal[edit]

The underground terminal (approximately -803 to -765, z:693–728) housed dedicated warehouse bays for:

Nether Goods, Rail Supplies, Minecarts
Gold, Iron, Lapis, Redstone
Wood, Armor, Snow, Wool
Sand, Glass, Fancy Slabs, Smooth Stone
Planting Supplies, Cobblestone

Multiple surface lift shafts connected the terminal to the dockside level. A sign labelled simply Ravenport hung at -787, 72, 714 above the main concourse; Underground at -784, 72, 714 marked the descent.

Dock Incident[edit]

A note left on the dock at -635, 64, 695:

"I was exploring and a creeper blew up part of the dock. I used wood from this chest to fix it. Sorry."

Southern Bridge[edit]

The Southern Bridge was constructed in March 2013 — one of the last major infrastructure builds of the Alpha Centauri era. A plaque names its builders: Mattfu, TheWanderingFool, Justin1423, Ajentsp02, and AnUnhappyPickle.

Customs Entry[edit]

All travellers passed through the Mercantile customs gates before reaching the city. See Mercantile#Customs Gates for the full checkpoint layout.

 == Overview ==
-Ravenport was alphac's spawn city and the entry point for all new players. The spawn region (r.0.0 and adjacent) was protected and has not been fully scanned due to the locked spawn area. Ravenport is referenced by multiple direction signs throughout the world:

-[[Mercantile]] (~-790, 65, 847) served as Ravenport's commercial district. Its "Free Trade Nation" designation, magistrate government (Lordnine, Goldfenix), and extensive warehouse and civic infrastructure suggest it was a semi-autonomous trading arm of the broader Ravenport settlement.
