RttS: Shikaviil Port Town (Patreon)
Content
I thiiiink this is the layout I'm going with for now?
Shikaviil Port is a co-species FIFO (fly-in-fly-out) work town located in a crater on a planet with a minimal atmosphere. The planet is technically called Shikaviil in Tiiliitian and Ixion-3 in English, but the English speaking residents usually call it Dirtball. It was originally a Tiiliitian avian outpost, but the recycling plant was established by Jovian humans, so the settlement was modified to accommodate human residents.
A major result of this is separate housing and agriculture blocks; avians have to be on a different water treatment loop than humans because they are full of cobalt. Talita is the only centaur living on Dirtball (at time of writing) and she has her own tiny corner carved out of the dry storage area. The other apartments are not big enough to fit her. :') Electrical power is supplied by solar arrays on the light side of the planet, comms are on top of the central spire.
There is no community center or real gathering place other than the trade center... it's kind of a miserable place to live. Like an airport lobby. They have way more living space capacity than they usually have people living there, so most of the time it's super empty.
