Denali Station/Districts

Districts and 'Neighborhoods'

Central Administrative District - wider streets with more gentle curves than most of the city. The buildings here tend to be larger, brighter, and more polished, as if better maintained and inhabited by official personnel. The entire area covers several square blocks, the buildings tend to have raised, covered walkways between buildings to facilitate travel.

Building heights in this district tend to be in the 10-15 story range clustered around a single 16-story building at the center housing, at least initially, the Command Staff, and most of the other Starfleet Departments.

Power, Utilities, and other services seem to - mostly - be routed through buildings in this area.

Consulates and the facilities to be manned by other galactic powers will tend to be concentrated in this area.

Market Town - Near, but not in the Central Admin District, this area is small at only 2-3 square blocks, mostly what seem to be older buildings, smaller and would be appropriate for shops, stalls, and other types of leisure activities and trading establishments.

The Shipping District - Similar to old-fashioned docks on the intersection of the river and the ‘ocean’ there are facilities that seem to have been designed for both watercraft and spacecraft, as well as natural warehouses.

Residential Parks - Mostly Apartment Complexes interspersed with Parks, small lakes, and other leisure activities.

Research Center - Recently discovered by the crews of the USS Grace Hopper and the USS Juneau, set on the lakeside at the far end of the city and is ideal for the eventual housing of the crew’s science center.

"Denali seems to have been designed for a population of around 2.2 Million people, covering an area around 55 square kilometers." So the city itself has the same basic density as a city like Hong Kong, for better reference.

• This is only what's been properly noted so far by people currently setting in on the Station, and will expand as more things are discovered over time.

The East Ocean

The shore of the "ocean" is located on Denali Station’s spinward side. (AKA: The ‘Eastern’ side). Extremely close to the Shipping District, near the river and nearby docks. The overall makeup of the beach itself is comparable to a temperate, coastal beach (think similar to beaches on the Oregon Coast). Its waters are naturally colder, and the area is a bit rockier. It’s not like a tropical beach that you could typically swim in. However, it is possible, even semi-pleasant, to swim in on warmer days. You just have to be aware of the weather.

But more often than not, it’s a lot better for taking thoughtful walks in the sand or the waves, finding very odd tidepools, and possibly extra mysterious shipwrecks.

You can also build sand castles, as it is a beach with sand, and have very cool nighttime bonfires that help you find yourself.
