- | =====City Aesthetics===== | ||
- | The houses in the Main Passage are mostly wood-based, with a few stone columns to hold up the main structure, resembling a real live " American Colonial House" | ||
- | |||
- | The streets are mostly stone, certainly the main square, and consists of a side-walk for walking and bike lanes on most occasions. In the centre of town, mainly the big roads that act as entryways to the districts, they are broad enough for asphalted four-lane roads. Most of them leading out of the city are still stone roads as of yet, while some of them are being asphalted. | ||
- | |||
- | Basic mass transport is in place, with several buses commuting between the various districts and even three train stops, one at the entry of the town, another at the space-port, and one on the southern part of town. Garbage control is handled with several garbage trucks, which take out all garbage, collects it, and transport it to the Hokori Kogo Recycling Centre east of the town, where most waste is recycled, but some is shipped of to landfills across Yamatai Space. The recycling centre also has a small cargo station, to allow for resources to be shipped to the city utilities. | ||

- | |||
- | //A map of the city as it looked in late [[timeline: | ||
- | |||
- | The city is built around a main square in the centre, known as Sqinq Square in honour of the stonework, which was mined from Sqinq Mountain. Around there, there stand some basic wooden houses for the first settlers. Progress is getting on around this square to form another line of houses. | ||
- | |||
- | Currently, the [[stararmy: | ||
- | |||
- | To the east there is a little river named the Hanburu Stream, from which the city gets fresh water and also fish. The city will eventually grow towards the river as intended, although currently only the city utilities are placed there. | ||
- | |||
- | ====Power Generation & Distribution==== | ||
- | Electrical power needed for the many buildings in the city to work, as well as the traffic lights, street lamps and radios come from a variety of sources. The biggest source of power comes from the small Hokori Kogo Nuclear Plant close to the Hanbaru Stream. The ITC also utilises a small number of Solar panels placed on top of their HQ, as well as those on top of the [[stararmy: | ||
- | Plans are yet ongoing for the construction of a hydro plant on the Hanbaru stream, but the lack of flow at the point where it passes the river makes the efficiency difficult to provide for the whole city. The idea for a series of water wheels to generate power is yet to be devised. For the moment, the solar panels on the roofs suffice, as well does the nuclear plant. | ||
- | |||
- | The power is distributed throughout the city via underground power grids, who along with the internet cables are being expanded underneath the city at the moment. Internet connection is done via various modem routers and repeaters, with most public buildings offering free wi-fi. Also, limited wi-fi connection exists throughout the city. A secure network for governmental and military business also operates alongside the civilian network. | ||
- | |||
- | ====Water Supply and Sewage==== | ||
- | Water is mostly provided through the use of the Mizu Water Pumps outside the city, who pump the water to the city directly from the Hanburu Stream. Most of the water pipes are underground inside the city, and lead all the way to the water tanks where they come up. Along with the power grid, the water pipes systems are being expanded for the use of new districts as they come close to completion. | ||
- | |||
- | Sewage control is handled by the Hokori Kogo Water Plant east of the city, which purifies and cleanses the water which comes from the sewers underneath the city, and makes it clean for consumption again. A small part is put back into Hanburu Stream, however strict regulations exist to prevent water pollution. Access to both of the facilities is by the dirt road known as Beacon Street. | ||
- | |||
- | ====Legislation==== | ||
- | Although the city is mostly under construction by the ITC and Yamatai and therefore under their control, several prominent civilians have taken on the task of coordinating the population' | ||
- | |||
- | ===Alpha City Council=== | ||
- | The council consists of a group of five aldermen, each responsible for one field of speciality, which are headed by the mayor. Aside from this there are 17 councillors, | ||
- | |||
- | =====City Planning & Districts===== | ||
- | Currently, there are only two completed districts, one centralizing around Sqinq Square, known simply as the "Main Passage", | ||
- | |||
- | ====Main Passage==== | ||
- | The first completed part of the city in November [[timeline: | ||
- | |||
- | ===Sqinq Square=== | ||
- | This boulevard, about 200 meter(650 feet) long and 50 meter (160 feet) broad, is where most of governing buildings are located. On one end, there is the ITC Command Base, while on another end there is the [[stararmy: | ||
- | |||
- | In the middle of the square, stand some fountains. One resembles the Empress Himiko, sitting in a meditation stance with a archway above her. Another fountain represents a lotus flower, the symbol of Yamatai. | ||
- | |||
- | ==ITC Command Base/City Hall== | ||
- | From here, both the ITC leading staff and the Yamatai managers, coordinate the city's construction. In late [[timeline: | ||
- | |||
- | It is also the place from which radio is broadcast at the moment, on a 101.7Mhz Frequency known as Alpha City Radio. The radio mast on top of the building is the only one in place at the moment, but offers covering even 5 km outside of Prototype City. The radio' | ||

- | ===Trade Street=== | ||
- | The entryway of the Main passage district and the city from the north is dedicated to some small local stores, who are set up in a single street of about 150 meter(500 feet) on both sides of the road. The street has become known as the main supply hub for the city, and also the main commerce street. | ||

Whether it's repairing of machinery, vehicles or spaceships, they can do it all, and at a low price as well. Most local traders come here to get some cheap spare parts as well, with suits the family just fine. |||| | ||

- | | Located on the corner of Trade street and Sqinq Square, Mrs. Kalarn offers most goods you want. Anything you can think of, she's got it. Except the illegal stuff of course. She has only recently entered Trade Street, for first she offered her goods on Danketsu Station. She sold that shop to someone else, and she got enough money to start her own general store. |||| | ||

- | Most of the other goods of the city are flown in at the space-port, which are distributed there as well as being sold. | ||
- | |||

- | |||
- | ====Transport District==== | ||
- | Only a small part of the city is dedicated to the shipping in and out of passengers, goods and vehicles. It is located northwest of Sqinq Square, but spreads only a few 100 metres with the biggest building by far being the space-port. The small space-port is owned by the ITC and guarded by the [[stararmy: | ||
- | |||
- | ===Pioneer Space-port=== | ||
- | Located in the centre of Transport District, stands the only space-port in the city yet, completed in January [[timeline: | ||
- | |||
- | ==Sodaina Warehouse== | ||
- | Connected directly to the Space-port, this massive building houses the bulk of the ITC resources and materials which are flown in daily. As such, it is the biggest warehouse of the district. Aside from storing the ITC's resources, it also stores a lot of corporate goods from off-world. As such, it is heavily guarded against intruders. Sodaina translates as ' | ||

- | ===Dockers Street=== | ||
- | As the name suggests, Dockers Street serves as the primary dockworkers housing and workshop area. Beside that, it also has become home to several local businesses who specialise in the process of docking/ | ||
- | |||
- | ==Teikoku Clinic== | ||
- | As the need for medical care arose, several employees from the Yamatai Department of health and Medicine were send to Ushobrakflug to provide and control the basic healthcare needs. They were given a small clinic close to the Space-port, to allow quick access to key medicine and, in case of emergency, a quick transport off-world. While the clinic is small, only accommodated for simple healthcare tasks, it is equipped for surgery and child-birth. Teikoku translates as ' | ||

- | |||
- | === Shipwright Street === | ||
- | A small street connecting Dockers street to Trade Street, which was completed in [[timeline: | ||
- | |||
- | ====Working Quarters==== | ||
- | Construction is as of yet ongoing on the place in which most workers will be housed, east of Sqinq Square. As of yet, the ITC and Yamatai construction workers are housed here, but will be relocated after the district is completed. Nearly 3,000 workers are housed here, both from the ITC and Yamatai, which are helping with construction. This part of town is considered off limits for citizens, as it is largely under construction. There are however some public places, which are used as viewing points. | ||
- | |||
- | ===Proximity Square=== | ||
- | While not as big, nor as well-known as Sqinq Square, this small square stands in the centre of the district and acts as the social hub for the workers. It was only completed in February [[timeline: | ||
- | |||
- | ^ Name of Establishment | ||
- | ^ Daggoun Repairs | ||
- | | The family Daggoun have always been successful mechanics. They already ran two different repair shops, before they opened the one on Proximity Square. It has since than become the best in town, according to the townsmen themselves. It is a true family business, as both father Ruwan, his sons Bauren and Franny and his daughter Alisha work inside the shop. |||| | ||
- | ^ Tukowen' | ||
- | | Although not as well-known as Bapoon' | ||
- | ^ Diraven Tools Emporium | ||
- | | Although family Daggoun does not think so, family Diraven and especially father Wadoun sees them as a concurrent. Although only a recent addition to Proximity Square, family Diraven has already made a name for themselves with their extensive stocks. Whether it is a screwdriver or a drill, Diraven offers it. Whether or not their disliking of family Daggoun will end in a feud, will remain to be seen. |||| | ||
- | ^ Nerwein' | ||
- | | With the workers occupied with the building and furnishing of the city, not much free time is left for socialising and fun. What time is left, is spent by most workers in the massive hall owned by Nerwein Kalish (not a real doctor), build beneath one of the big housing complexes. He offers darts, pinball, pooling and all kinds of TV shows on big screens. He also serves numerous kinds of cocktails and liquor. |||| | ||
- | ^ Ivanor' | ||
- | | Just as much an urban legend as Jeremy' | ||
- | ^ Carmen' | ||
- | | Nothing more than a small coffee house with little seating space, Carmen (only 20 years old!) has nevertheless made good business with her wide variety of coffee, ranging from Cappuccino to Lungo, and even hot chocolate. She also offers a wide variety of pasta' | ||
- | |||
- | ===Builder Street=== | ||
- | Living in big housing blocks, mostly flats, are the bulk of ITC and Yamatai construction workers. Along the street, dozens of these flats are being constructed for use by the workers who will be shipped in. At one end the street connects to Sqinq Square, while another connects to Proximity Square, making it the entryway for the district. | ||
- | |||
- | ==The Old Lady== | ||
- | At the intersection of Builder Street and Proximity Square stands a small stone statue, known by mockers as 'The Ugly Hag', which resembles an elder woman in a rocking square who is knitting, while smiling to passer-bys. At the pedestal of the statue stands a small nameplate with the description: | ||
- | |||
- | ==The Silver House== | ||
- | At the intersection between Carpenter Street and Builder Street stands a tall building known for its many operas, pop/rock concerts and lectures from famous people all year round. The name of the building comes from it's escutcheon above the door, a round shield of silver with the writing: "For the beauty of the art" on it. The house belongs to the wealthy family Peltier, who's family have been owners of opera houses across the galaxy. The building was first opened in late [[timeline: | ||
- | |||
- | ===Carpenter Street=== | ||
- | A street dedicated solely to workers of carpenter businesses south of Proximity Square which bends back westward to Builder Street. The first need for specialised carpenter workshops arose when the ITC issued several off-world carpenters for the making of furniture, which was before made and delivered by the ITC itself. The first workshop opened in June [[timeline: | ||
- | |||
- | ^ Name of Establishment | ||
- | ^ Margonius Furniture Emporium | ||
- | | The first carpenter shop to be opened on the street, Sir Margonius (69 years old) was the first to offer his services to the population. His reputation has done him well, as he is known for his artistic, yet comfortable work. His artistic bedbunks are now one of the most memorable pieces of furniture inside the city, as are his well-known side tables. Beside that, Elton has a wide range of chairs, tables and cabinets for sale. All of his wares are undersigned by the distinctive signature and brand of Elton himself. |||| | ||
- | ^ Auden Woodcarvers | ||
- | | Shortly after Margonius had opened his shop, more traders were coming in to offer their services to the citizens. The brothers Auden, known for their woodcarving they did in the many forests of Ushobrakflug, | ||
- | ^ Timothy Construction | ||
- | | Considered the first commercial construction holding outside of the ITC and Yamatai. Timothy has hired a motley crew of strong men to assemble housing for the population as well as extensions like dormers, balconies and stained glass for citizens. They have also offered their services to the ITC workers, which they have gratefully accepted. |||| | ||
- | ^ Koga & Kawate Furniture | ||
- | | Although not as well known as Margonius, the two Yamatai natives offer a style mostly only seen on the Imperial Capital world. The rustic, simple and yet very artistic pieces of furniture produced by the two men are a welcome sight in many houses across the city, although their style is mostly reserved to households of Yamataian citizens. Despite their obvious concurrence, | ||
- | |||
- | ===Smithy Street=== | ||
- | A street connecting Builder Street to Trade Street, allowing shipments to bypass the crowded Sqinq Square. As the name implies, the street is mostly reserved to forgers, from iron to marble. Since its completion in early [[timeline: | ||
- | |||
- | ====Imperial Terraces==== | ||
- | A big part south of Sqinq Square is being developed for the sole purpose of housing both the poor and the elite, and will form the backbone of the second influx of civilians once it is completed. for now, only one road acts as the bulk road where several appartments are based, which connects Beacon Street to Dockers Street. A second road runs next to the city hall, but is mostly used for transport. | ||
- | |||
- | ===Kyoto Street=== | ||
- | Acting as the main road for the first blocks in the Imperial district, and currently the only road reserved for civilian use. It connects Dockers Street to Beacon Street and serves the bulk of transport between those districts. As the Terraces is mostly reserved for housing, no shops have opened on the street. It currently offers housing to nearly 1,000 civilians. | ||
- | |||
- | ==Kaishi Elementary== | ||
- | As more people moved in to the city, with the Imperial Terraces mostly providing housing for families, the need for a place for education rose. Eventually, the Yamatai [[faction: | ||
- | |||
- | ==Kyoto Street Station== | ||
- | Heavy construction is currently underway for the building of a small train station some distance south of Kyoto Street, which will connect the district to the Space-port and outside routes to ITC and Legion V. The station is smaller than its cousin on Trade Street, and only offers local transport, meaning it is not an intercity connection. The rail to Hokori Kogo will be used to connect the station to the main network. | ||
- | |||
- | ===Middle Street=== | ||
- | Although only offering limited transport between Sqinq Square and Kyoto Street, this passage has become important for connecting the Imperial Terraces directly to Sqinq Square. It was opened for civilian use in late [[timeline: | ||
- | |||
- | == Chiefs Field == | ||
- | A small field, aside the City Hall, was opened in [[timeline: | ||
- | |||
- | ===Star Street=== | ||
- | At the intersection of Kyoto Street and Beacon Street, the road continues as Star Street, leading back to Sqinq Square next to the City Hall. It offers limited housing as of yet, acting only as a connection between Sqinq Square and Beacon Street. The street was named after the small [[stararmy: | ||
- | |||
- | ==Tsuyo Army Memorial== | ||
- | This small memorial, consisting of a small statue of a soldier in [[stararmy: | ||
- | |||
- | ===Beacon Street=== | ||
- | A small street leading eastward towards the Hanburu Stream and the city utilities. The street was named after the Eucharis Beacon. It is as of yet only open to limited civilian access and mostly limited to city services, as well as military access to Eucharis Beacon. | ||
- | |||
- | ==Eucharis Beacon== | ||
- | As the first building to be completed in the district, that stands at the middle of Beacon street, the building acts as a small light-house to guide ships to the Space-port. Along with that, it acts as a waypoint to allow hikers and explorers to find the city in the night. It is serviced by Keeper Uemura Guemon, who is housed in the light-house itself. In [[timeline: | ||
