Sky City

Sky City is a location in the Age of Information.

Description
Sky City was constructed to exploit the mineral wealth of Pavaria, the third planet of the Aladron system. The planet itself is uninhabitable by mortals, so while robotic mines and factories extract the wealth from the surface the operations are supervised from Sky City. It is also the docking point for freighters bound for Aladron and the Moon.

An ambitious project, Sky City is the first settlement constructed circulating a different planet. Communications with Aladron take between 5 and 40 minutes depending on the planets’ relative positions and even vessels with a jump drive will require several hours to reach it. Telemancy is also right out of question due to the magic limitations imposed by the Void itself.

Build to be largely self-sufficient, Sky City is also used to launch further expeditions targeting other astral bodies of the solar system. Beside the corporate and administrative staff it therefore hosts a number of spacefarers and explorers and all kinds of other people who can profit from such business.
