These are city statistics for use with the City Stats supplement for the GURPS Fourth Edition system from Steve Jackson Games.
These writeups assume that handwavium is a non-magical substance; those who believe otherwise should adjust the writeups accordingly.
Crystal Tokyo (2014)
Population: 5,000 (Search +0)
Physical and Magical Environment
Terrain: Aerostat, Sealed
Appearance: Attractive (+1)
Hygiene: +1
No Mana (No Enchantment)
Culture and Economy
Language: English
Literacy: Native
TL: 8^
Wealth: Average (x1)
Status: 0 to 6
Political Environment
Government: Representative Democracy
CR: 3 (Corruption -1)
Military Resources: $260,000
Defense Bonus: +5
Notes
Crystal Tokyo is the capital of Venus, the headquarters of the Venus Terraforming Project, and the home base of the Crystal Millennium faction. Thus, searches for government officials and high-society members have a +2 bonus.
A notable minority of citizens speak Japanese, enough that most signage (and all public signage) is bilingual.
Kandor City (2014)
Population: 250,000 (Search +3)
Physical and Magical Environment
Terrain: Rock World, Sealed
Appearance: Attractive (+1)
Hygiene: +3
No Mana (No Enchantment)
Culture and Economy
Language: English
Literacy: Native
TL: 8^
Wealth: Average (x1)
Status: 0 to 4
Political Environment
Government: Representative Democracy, Free City
CR: 3 (Corruption -2)
Military Resources: $13,000,000
Defense Bonus: +4
Notes
Kandor City has strict public health controls and a healthy environment, giving it its high Hygiene rating.
Notable minority languages in Kandor include Japanese (especially in the university district) and Russian (mainly around, but not necessarily within, Korolev Air Force Base).
The Corruption bonus is higher for the "Double 0" agents, varying by the agent but a full -6 for the Scarlet Angel. They aren't actually corrupt; they just get to ignore the rules whenever necessary.
Stellvia (2014)
Population: 250 (Search -2)
Physical and Magical Environment
Terrain: Orbital, Sealed
Appearance: average (+0)
Hygiene: +1
No Mana (No Enchantment)
Culture and Economy
Language: English
Literacy: Native
TL: 8^
Wealth: Comfortable (x2)
Status: 0 to 3
Political Environment
Government: Dictatorship
CR: 4 (Corruption -0)
Military Resources: $32,500
Defense Bonus: +12
Notes
Stellvia has a high transient population, not included in the statistics listed above - search rolls can have a -1 penalty or +1 bonus depending on the nature of the current hotel guests (and the GM's whim). There is also a large mercantile population on the station; Merchant Search rolls are at +2 (for a net +0).
A minority of the permanent citizens are AIs. These are included in the Population rating because all of them have android bodies, and thus act (and are legally treated) the same way as flesh intelligences. All of the AIs are fluently bilingual, speaking Japanese and English.
The high Defense bonus is due to concealed anti-ship weaponry, and thus is unknown to the majority of Fenspace.
Helium (2014)
Population: 2,500 (Search -1)
Physical and Magical Environment
Terrain: Plains, Sealed
Appearance: Beautiful (+3)
Hygiene: +2
No Mana (No Enchantment)
Culture and Economy
Language: English
Literacy: Native
TL: 8^
Wealth: Average (x1)
Status: 0 to 4
Political Environment
Government: Representative Democracy, City-State
CR: 2 (Corruption -0)
Military Resources: $65,000
Defense Bonus: +3
Notes
Helium is built on the edge of Hellas Planitia and the Grand Canal; while the surroundings are plains, the city enjoys the defensive benefits of Mountain terrain from the south.
