Futuristic Map of Neptune

Neptune (Post-Terraformation)

The last of the three colonies constructed, many claim that Neptune, while the most profitable, was among the hardest to colonize. It began as an attempt to capitalize on the Natural Gas atmosphere of the planet, with many of the gases used to power vehicles. With little luck setting up colonies on the few island patches that existed, the colonists went underwater to set up their cities.

Though the planet has been colonized for roughly fifty years, much of it still remains a mystery. To this day, there are still things found on the planet that we have yet to encounter....​

Opremross

"When you look at our land, our work...You remember why what we do is so important. Why it is all that matters."




The capitol of Opremross was the first (and last) city built on Neptune. It was first because construction began when the colony was first founded, and it was the last because it's construction was completed when the rest of the colony was built. Setting up on the raised 'Oprem Plateau', the city has prospered because of the aquaponic farms, and the presence of fresh-water springs. It is little wonder this became the capitol of Neptune: One could look out the window, and picture that they were on Earth. It has been described by many as the pinnacle of living on Neptune.

The city of Opremross has been divided into 5 districts: The Red-Water District, The Executive District, the Residential District, The Mercantile District, and the Farms District.

The Farms district (as the name suggests) is where The farms built upon the city have allowed for wild-life to grow: cows, chickens, goats, sheep, even various insects and rodents (little bastards they are) are known to reside. Most of the Colonies food comes from this District. Due to the sheer importance of the location, most of the SDF is located here.

The Mercantile District is where commerce takes place. Most people call it 'The Reef' for the multitude of different people that pass through: Chauvinist, Renovationist, Loyalist, even the SDF personnel are known to pass through here. If there is something that is hard to get your hands on, it is likely there (for a price).

The Residential District is where the populace of Opremross live (at least two-thirds of it). It is divided into two sections: The upper section, where the middle class live, making a decent living in the capitol, and the lower section is where the slums are located, and where many of the citizens down on their luck in Opremross live.

The Executive District is where the Elite live, and is the home of the corporate H.Q. of every major business on Neptune. Most of Neptune's wealth is flooded through here, and thus the Elite enjoy a much more 'privileged' lifestyle on the aquatic world, everything from indentured servitude, to recreational drugs, to just about anything.

The Red-Water District is where everyone goes to drown their worries away in games, gals, gents, or whatever is on the tap. Every source of entertainment can be found here, from shows, to games at the casino, live stage acts, music, and 'closed curtain' company. Like they always say 'Whatever happens in the R.W. District, stays there.'​

Armali

"We're like the Ore that is in this mountain: Dug in so deep, you'd need a laser driller to remove us. We survived the Static, and we'll keep surviving."




The city of Armali, while not in the same category in size or comfort as Opremross, is still one of the most Important parts of Neptune's Economy. Built into the underwater mountain range of Cipretine, Armali quickly gained it's fortune by the riches embedded deep into the mountains. Precious metals like Gold, Silver, and Platinum, and Industrial Minerals such as ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and aluminum. Thanks to it's prime location, it is also shielded away from the harshness of the currents, making it one of the most structurally secure cities on Neptune. When the great static destroyed most of the equipment on Neptune, Armali was one of the least damaged cities. Today, it is built almost like a fortress.

The city has been divided into four districts: The Mining District, the Industrial District, the Trading District, and the Living District.

The Mining District is perhaps the largest of the four districts. While there are buildings, and submersibles capable of transporting the ore, most of the hard mining is done by pilot's using Mechs specialized to handle the cold and pressure of the ocean.

The Industrial District is where the metals that are dug up are sent to be processed, refined, and either re-purposed for new mining equipment, or sent to the trading district. Most of the Executive buildings for the mining corps are located here.

The Trading District, also called 'The Rest stop' is where the metals that are refined are sent off to the various other cities. Things needed for private projects, building, or even weapon manufacturing can be found here. It is also the location of the bars, restaurants, and anywhere else someone could get a decent meal and drink.

The Living District is where the population of Armali live. Due to it being one of the smaller districts, the sections where the poor, rich, and middle-class live are all in one. Though tight on space, this has given the people of Armali a stronger sense of community.​

Nueport

"We'll reforge Humanities Destiny, and by leaving behind our dying world, We shall create a new one to call Home."

The heart of the Renovationist Movement, The city of Nueport is the Neptune Colonies High-technology development sector. Modified with Neptune-forged Technology, Nueport has been described as the Brain of Neptune, where as Opremross has been described as the heart. Everything is developed here: From internet communications, mechanical aids, medical technology, agricultural science, games, toys, and everything under the clouds, to weapons, shielding, power systems, and submersibles. There is even talk that Terraforming is being researched, though the hierarchy has been reluctant to discuss those rumors.

There are three districts: The Development District, the Port district, and the Residential District.

The Development District is home to the brightest minds of Neptune. It is here that their brilliance is put to work. From Super-computers, to automated machines, their research has been used to advance life on Neptune time and time again.

The Port District, also called the 'Starting point' is where the Submersible's are crafted and used, and where the Fisheries of Nueport are located. It is called it's nickname due to the fact that many come to this district as explorers or adventurers, discovering the new points of Neptune for the betterment of the Colony. The fisheries provide food for the colony, by ways of one of the oldest professions: Fishing, though they are careful not to disturb the ecosystem too much.

The Residential District of Nueport is perhaps the largest of the Colony's. Everything has been created for creature comfort: Showers, mobile towers, electronics, television, anything a modern-age person could ask for. It is also the location of places such as Restaurants or Bars, the most famous being 'The Light-bulb', which is completely run by Automated machines. The food and service is said to be excellent.​

Vlaaxburn

"We'll create a respite for humanity here. A place where we can live, and not be shackled by our past mistakes. A place where we can truly begin to move forward."




The cultural epicenter of Neptune, Vlaaxburn has been described bright, lively, romantic, and colorful: Everything colonial officials promised back on earth. Built into a Episox Crevice, Vlaaxburn was where those with any cultural inclination came to go when the colonization began. When the Renovationist movement came to be, they began using the city as an example of how life could be, finally free from the shackles of correcting the mistakes on Earth. A cultural explosion began: Music, Art, Games, Conventions, Gallery's, and Romantic Scenery created a place that many wished to live in. To many on Neptune, even those in Opremross, the place has been described as a Paradise. Though even Paradise has it's dark spots....

The city has been divided into 3 districts- the Entertainment District, the Gallery District, and the Park District

The Park District is where those with the inclination towards nature go to spend their time. Family Barbecues, Sports, Camping, and various other activities are available at the Park District. One such location is the 'Waterfall Garden', which has been described as a popular proposal spot. Another location of interest is the Hydroponic Vineyard, which is where a majority of the wines on Neptune are hand-made. It is also the location of the Housing for Vlaaxburn, for those that lean towards a more 'natural' lifestyle.

The Gallery District is where those of Artistic talent draw their lot from. Art of various forms is shown here: Cartoons, Paintings, Carvings, statues, Jewelry, and Clothing. All created on Neptune, the Gallery district shows the flood of creativity and emotion that goes through it's people. Not only that, but there are several museum's in the district, detailing the natural history (that we understand) of Neptune, and of Humanities Exodus to the planet.

The Entertainment District is the bursting soul of activity in Vlaaxburn. Everything here has been created to offer a reprieve from everyday life: Arcades, Movie Theaters, Musical's, Convention's, and Festival's are held here, from multiple different cultures. A spot where shows and music is common is 'The Whirlpool Theater' where some of the best concerts are held.​

New Sparta

"For all that has happened to us, we have survived. We have been de-humanized, treated as slaves, and finally cast away by earth...but to survive is to endure and prosper....and we have most certainly survived."




If Nueport is the Brain of Neptune, and Opremross the heart, then New Sparta can only be described as one thing: The Muscle. Originally acting as a Military Installation for the SDF, the city of New Sparta was created around it after the Great Static. Though the SDF maintain a presence in the city, New Sparta is by far the most vehement towards Earth. Once a means of defense for Earth and it's Colonies, it is now seen as the capitol of the Chauvinist Secessionist Organization. With the facilities to manufacture weapons and armor, The council of New Sparta has seen it fit to arm and train each of it's citizens in the art of war. Crime is quickly crushed, and those that do harm unto others are 'quietly' taken care of it. Despite it's violent tendencies, it is seen by some as Neptune's Sword and Shield, it's defender from the Corrupt Earth-based government. New Sparta also emphasizes the belief that only the strongest of the will survive.

There are 4 districts- The Hephaestus District, The Aries District, The Poseidon district, and Fort Typhon

Fort Typhon is the capitol of the city of Capek. It is the stronghold of the 'Neptune Liberation Army', the pseudo-militia created by the Chauvinist. Their training, weapons, and numbers all reside here. Also situated

The Poseidon district is the Port district of New Sparta. Located there are the Trident Fisheries and It is there that their fleet of Submersibles are located. Armed with Torpedo's, mining lasers, and various other military upgrades, Their fleet is either a good defense....or a powerful offense.

The Aries District is the entertainment and residential district in one. In the towers live the people, afforded safety and security by the NLA. In the entertainment district, however, is another form of entertainment entirely....Blood-sports, all fought at the ' Troy-Arena '

The Hephaestus District is where the NLA secure their gear from. Everything from lasers, to mechs, and armor are manufactured here. The biggest weapons corp, which is 'Alexandria Munitions', handle most of it.​

Yriocaso

"With Earth a distant memory, the people of Neptune are lost...confused...scared...We shall guide and protect them, and bring death upon those that would harm them."

Yriocaso is the city where the civilians of the Chauvinist go when they do not wish to sign on with the military. Though tightly controlled and watched, the people of Yriocaso enjoy safety security, assured that if they go to sleep at night, nothing will happen to them. The NLA maintain a tight presence here, silently watching the city, and protecting it from those that would cause them harm. While not as big as the other cities, it is undoubtedly important.

There are two districts in the city- The Plains District and the Industrial District

The Plains district is the Residential and Farm District in one. It is here where the people live. Instead of places, such as Restaurants and Farms, there are Ration-stations and work-areas. Located here are the 'Dionysus Farms'. Most people come here for work, and even then, about 10% of their produce is secured for military use. This ensures that the city has a large enough stockpile in case of disaster.

The Industrial District is where a chunk of the materials for Neptune are mined. The most prosperous Mine located near the Volcanic Vents. Also situated here are the Helios Geothermal Plant, which provides power. The Military Garrison is located here.​

Siren's Song Cave

"This cave may be natural, but there is a unnatural allure to it..."




Siren's song cave is a cave full of strange beautiful crystal formations, and
​

s that can lull people to sleep. However, true to it's namesake, this can prove dangerous: As with everywhere on the planet, the air isn't safe to breath, thus sleeping can prove to be lethal. The strange tree-like formations have brought to question the origins of the planet. Many assume that this is a sign of previous habitation. Others believe it to be natural occurrences. One thing is for sure, that if you fall asleep in the cave, and run out of oxygen, odds are you'll never wake up...

The Ruined city of Capek

"People stay away, for good reason. It is one thing for a city district to have a flood, but another for the entire city to be flooded overnight....and yet, the entire city is still running...Whatever happened there, it's best for it to remained buried."

Capek was meant to be the most recent constructed on Neptune. Situated on the cliff-side of an Ocean trench, it was to serve as a forward outpost to study life on Neptune. However, not long after it's construction was completed, a garbled transmission came from the city. Upon Relief teams being sent, they discovered that the entire city had been flooded: Everyone had drowned there. To this day, it is still unknown the cause of this, but what frightens people the most is, despite the place being flooded, and the power lines having been cut from there, the lights are still on, and everything appears to still be running....

But no-one knows how....​

Island of Echidna

"-and here I thought we were the baddest species on the planet..."

The main-land of a larger Island, the Island of Echidna was named for the fact that almost any team that was sent up to it has never reported back. The few that have gone have reported seeing strange hostile creatures, and vicious monsters. Due to interference with the clouds of Neptune, taking clear images is next to impossible, and survey teams report back rarely enough for it to be worth the cost to push the issue....​
