 Developed in YE 30 by [[character:kage_yaichiro]], this new design for a City Block is intended as part of an effort to colonize planets of the Yamatai Star Empire and the United Outer Colonies for colonization by Civilians, as well as direct resources formerly allocated to warships to public works. Developed in YE 30 by [[character:kage_yaichiro]], this new design for a City Block is intended as part of an effort to colonize planets of the Yamatai Star Empire and the United Outer Colonies for colonization by Civilians, as well as direct resources formerly allocated to warships to public works.
  
-Designed to be modular, buildable in space, and delivered by an [[stararmy:starships:ayame_layer]], the city block is made aboard an Anri-class Repair Vessel.  This allows for precision in contruction only matched by a planetwide nodal system, and at comparatively high speed to standard construction techniques.  The UOC will have to come up with an alternate method of construction.  The city block is intended to be easy to maintain, resistant to flood and geologic change, make optimum use of the water table for water and power resources, and effectively redesign the two dimensional city into a more efficient city with dedicated utilitarian and transit sublevels.+Designed to be modular, buildable in space, and delivered by an [[stararmy:starship_classes:ayame_layer]], the city block is made aboard an Anri-class Repair Vessel.  This allows for precision in contruction only matched by a planetwide nodal system, and at comparatively high speed to standard construction techniques.  The UOC will have to come up with an alternate method of construction.  The city block is intended to be easy to maintain, resistant to flood and geologic change, make optimum use of the water table for water and power resources, and effectively redesign the two dimensional city into a more efficient city with dedicated utilitarian and transit sublevels.
  
 The decision to use Yamataium is a fairly expensive one, but its durability and ability to heal itself slowly give Yamataium the unique ability of being able to sustain the forces of natural geology and erision for millenia without compromising stregth.  Yamataium's recovery abilities, while comparatively slow in battle, are very fast and well beyond real-time when considered geological time scales.  This and the various other benefits allow the city, in the long run, to be feasible. The decision to use Yamataium is a fairly expensive one, but its durability and ability to heal itself slowly give Yamataium the unique ability of being able to sustain the forces of natural geology and erision for millenia without compromising stregth.  Yamataium's recovery abilities, while comparatively slow in battle, are very fast and well beyond real-time when considered geological time scales.  This and the various other benefits allow the city, in the long run, to be feasible.

-Unlike most city blocks, these city blocks are constructed in an [[stararmy:starships:anri-class_deep_space_repair_ship]].  Since each city block measures 100m by 100m by 150m, it is possible for an Anri to hold four of these city blocks at any given time.  This assumes that skyscrapers are not being built, which in itself alters the ability of the block to fully fir in the Anri, or its ability to hold multiple city blocks.  This is, of course, in the Yamatai Star Empire.  The United Outer Colonies would need to find an alternate method.+Unlike most city blocks, these city blocks are constructed in an [[stararmy:starship_classes:anri-class_deep_space_repair_ship]].  Since each city block measures 100m by 100m by 150m, it is possible for an Anri to hold four of these city blocks at any given time.  This assumes that skyscrapers are not being built, which in itself alters the ability of the block to fully fir in the Anri, or its ability to hold multiple city blocks.  This is, of course, in the Yamatai Star Empire.  The United Outer Colonies would need to find an alternate method.
  
 Construction can take place in a pressurized or depressurized environment, and quite more rapidly than on planet.  The elements of weather, wind, wildlife, and other concerns of nature are not an issue in the Anri repair bay, and so the engineers can more easily and more effectively operate.  There is also no difficulty in making the more complex systems which will be placed beneath the ground of the city, a //major// advantage. Construction can take place in a pressurized or depressurized environment, and quite more rapidly than on planet.  The elements of weather, wind, wildlife, and other concerns of nature are not an issue in the Anri repair bay, and so the engineers can more easily and more effectively operate.  There is also no difficulty in making the more complex systems which will be placed beneath the ground of the city, a //major// advantage.
