**Cities:**

* Sentinel Shores (formerly Siren’s Edge, Siren’s Song) 
  * post-apocalyptic ruin city
  * close enough to Ivydale that they share a public transport system
  * located on the coast 
    * has (used to have) a port
  * buildings in various stages of disrepair 
    * including sky scrapers that would fit right in in HZD
  * many things were left behind, definitely worth looting random buildings
  * located on one side of a bay, across from Rogue Tides
  * two groups and some individuals have taken up residence in different parts of the city 
    * rival mentality
* Ivydale 
  * post-apocalyptic ruin city
  * close enough to Sentinel Shores that they share a public transport system
  * located in a valley
  * buildings in various stages of disrepair 
    * no sky scrapers
  * many things were left behind, definitely worth looting random buildings
* Underground Dome City 
  * still needs a name
  * inside a huge hermetically sealed dome under a mountain
  * basically a normal city otherwise 
    * mostly three to five story buildings
    * some unique buildings and sky scrapers in the center
    * few single-family homes
  * past its prime but most things are intact
  * has a metro for public transport 
    * can be used for entering/leaving the city but that hasn’t been done since the apocalypse and it’ s strictly forbidden
  * food is farmed in big silos adjacent to the dome 
    * illuminated by daylight through hermetically sealed light shafts but inaccessible to most ppl
  * ppl mostly lead normal lives and have normal jobs
  * waste water is recycled in a closed loop system 
    * maybe slight water scarcity due to slow treatment process
    * no rivers, bodies of water, or anything like that
  * relies on external facilities for power 
    * Nobody is concerned about the possibility of it ever not being there. 
      * "Power comes from the wall, right?"
  * inhabitants never arrived in the numbers that were expected so, while there are a lot of ppl there, roughly half of the homes are time capsules
* Nova Metropolis 
  * location of moon girl’s landing
  * much bigger than Sentinel Shores and built inland
  * built around an oasis in a desert 
    * not the kind of desert where sand gets piled up into dunes otherwise it would have gotten buried
  * buildings in a lot better shape due to being in a desert
* Siren’s Edge (formerly Westport) 
  * Just a location that is mentioned in passing
* Rogue Tides 
  * small town that has (used to have) a datacenter
  * across the bay from Sentinel Shores

**Facilities/Institutions:**

* Hydro power station 
  * Name?
  * miraculously still intact and working despite never being maintained since the apocalypse
  * power source of the underground city
  * in dire need of repairs
* Cryo Facility 53 
  * built by Neotek Dynamics
  * on the outskirts of Ivydale
  * an attempt to get personnel to survive beyond the apocalypse so they can help with keeping the moon colony alive
  * Backstory: A good portion of the bunker crew has been woken up decades before Jack 
    * they left to do their mission somehow sending supplies to the moon
    * bunker wasn’t resealed properly 
      * hardware has degraded/failed
      * maybe there could have been other bunker personnel who have perished because their preservation chambers failed (alternatively, they all left except two)
      * Jack gets woken up due to impending hardware failure
      * Michelle stays preserved until she gets woken up by Jack
  * has enough supplies to last a lot of ppl for a long time
* <underground dome city> library 
  * has large computers in the basement
* retro-futuristic data center 
  * located in Rogue Tides
  * used to be some sort of national archive except it was never finished
  * contains computers that will be used by the protagonists to establish communication with the moon 
    * they will have to move them to Sentinel Shores
  * may or may not have turrets or ppl defending it
  * buildings are in bad shape so any hardware recovered from there will most likely need some fixing up
* Moon habitat 
  * built by Neotek Dynamics
  * theoretically permanently habitable but not made to exist in isolation
  * home to several hundred people in its prime
