History
The population of Ferris was incited by apparently neglect and disinterest to rebel against their masters in Clan Hell's Horses[1]. Having resorted to violence in an attempt to demand more resources and attention[1], the rebels were shocked when in 3083 the Horses instead declared their intention to pull out of the Barrens region altogether[1], a promise they made good on by 3086[1]. The sole surviving rebel leader, Ned Piggot, crowned himself Emperor in that year[1]. Alarmed by Clan support for the nearby Republic of the Barrens[1], Piggot set off in the Collective's sole JumpShip, alongside a battalion of tanks and infantry, to claim the nearby Elysian Fields worlds of Elissa[1], Manaringaine[1] and Nyserta[1], facing no immediate resistance[1]. Ferris has attempted to attract migrants from the Inner Sphere and aggressive;y exploit it's new colonies' resources in an attempt to gain the resource Piggot believes the Collective needs to fend off external aggression[1].
Military
The Collective imports surplus equipment from the Draconis Combine[1] and Lyran Commonwealth[1]. However, the Collection's buying power is limited, and both states have refused to sell the Ferris BattleMechs[1].
