Poli - The Capitol World

The capitol world of the system, it is an Earth-like planet, with similar enivonrments, 5 oceans, and bio-compatible wildlife. Over the centuries of colonization, several distinct regions and cities have been built up over the world. Each region has its own unique industries and features.

Built in the image of Old Earth’s own Philadelphia, including a modern take on Independence Hall and a starship’s drive cone taking the place of the original liberty bell. There is one big difference compared to the old Philly: this one is built in a vast salt-flat. There was an ocean here once, but it’s long since dried up. This sprawling metropolis has more in common with Los Angeles than its name sake, at least, geographically.

Conceived as a research station and sold as a unique and one-of-a-kind resort city, Atlantis floats on Poli’s biggest ocean. It is a sprawling mix of submarine and city. The entire structure was built air-tight and designed to survive total submergence to a mile underwater. Its builders claimed this was a safety precaution in case of inclement weather or disaster. As a bonus, it would be a feature to charge guests extra for an underwater cruise. In the time since its construction, the city’s fallen into a fair blend of research and tourism. Boats leave out to watch the local sea-life, submarine tours are available, and the biology lab offers cutting-edge genetic manipulation.

The Workers dreamed of a city of skill and craft. They dreamed of a place built to the absolute best of their abilities. This would be a place of research, knowledge, commerce, and advancement. It would be a no-effort-spared facility. This floating station orbits Poli, featuring a rare artificial gravity installation, full internal shipyards, and the absolute best and brightest in the entire system. The engineers who live here are the type who spit in the face of god every morning. The universe is their toy to unravel and they will unravel it.
