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.
