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 large minority of the permanent citizens are AIs. These are included in the Population rating because all or 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: +6
Notes
Helium is built on the edge of Valles Marineris; while the surroundings are plains, the city enjoys the defensive benefits of Mountain terrain from most directions.
