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
• 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
